Met de Alinea app maak je een foto van de tekst die je wilt lezen. Alinea herkent zeer nauwkeurig de letters en zorgt ervoor dat de tekst leesbaar wordt gemaakt terwijl de opmaak van de tekst (de plaatjes en structuur) bewaard blijft. Het document kan je daarna bewerken, draaien en bijsnijden. Overbodige tekst veeg je weg en je beluistert de tekst die overblijft. De voorleessnelheid is regelbaar en je beschikt over een meeleesbalkje dat laat zien waar je bent in de tekst.

Photo a table. Get a spreadsheet. Stop retyping rows by hand. Point your camera at a printed table and Gridshot turns it into an editable sheet you can export in seconds. No account, no upload, no waiting. Rosters. Price lists. Stock counts. Score sheets. Timetables. Whiteboard grids before someone wipes them. Anything laid out in rows and columns. HOW IT WORKS 1. Photograph the table, choose a photo, or share an image straight to Gridshot 2. Gridshot reads the rows and columns and shows you the grid 3. Tap any cell to correct it, then export Cells Gridshot wasn't certain about are highlighted, so you know exactly where to look instead of checking all of them. EXPORT ANYWHERE Send a CSV or spreadsheet file to Files, Mail, Numbers, Excel, Google Sheets, AirDrop, or anything else on your share sheet. Open it on your Mac a second later. STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE There is no sign-up, no server, and no analytics. Your photo is read on the device using Apple's built-in text recognition, so nothing is ever uploaded. Gridshot works in airplane mode. WORKS BEST WITH Printed and typed tables, photographed roughly square in frame. Handwriting, steep angles, and dim light are hard for any scanner, so straighten up and get close for the cleanest read.
