Texie is a versatile and easy to use Al-assisted Scanner and Reader.Β Use it to quickly extract text from images and multi-format documents, to hear content spoken, or to read later. It immediately appends each scan to the same page or to the following page based on the options selected, making it easy to scan multiple regions or pages at a time. Point your camera at printed text, images, signs, labels, or handwritten notes to have Texie immediately recognize, convert to text, and optionally speak it within seconds For a quick scan followed by speaking, select the "Single" page option in Settings. If you'd like to bypass speaking, or wish to bulk scan, select the "Multiple" page option in Settings. Each scan is automatically saved in the TextView tab, which can save up to 10 scanned pages at a time.Β Texie supports both full screen and target area scanning. Click the "+" button on the Camera tab to enable our custom movable and resizable focus rectangle, which will precisely define a target area for scanning.

Corteks

Corteks is where you put a thought so you can stop holding it. Speak it, type it, or snap a photo. That is the whole job. Corteks reads what you captured, titles it, files it, and connects it to everything you have thought before. WHAT IT DOES WITH YOUR THINKING Reads every capture. A title, a one-line summary, what it is about, and the older thoughts it genuinely connects to. You never file anything yourself. Builds a graph, not a folder tree. Your thoughts cluster by what they are actually about, and you start seeing that you have been circling something for weeks. Writes your week, every Sunday. Not a step count. What you thought about, what changed, and what you keep returning to. Answers questions about your own mind. Chat is grounded in what you captured, so it points at your own words instead of inventing advice. Holds what you are working toward. Write down your objectives, focus three at a time, and Corteks reads those three closely. Three, because attention does not divide well. WHAT IT IS NOT No feed. No streaks. No badges. Nothing is public and nothing is shared, so there is nobody to perform for. It never tells you that you are behind. An objective that has gone quiet is reported as a fact, never as a failing. YOUR THOUGHTS ARE YOURS Everything is private to your account. It is used to build what the app shows you and nothing else: your graph, your readings, your weekly story, and the answers you get in chat. Export everything to your email whenever you like, in a readable file and as JSON. Delete your account and it all goes with it. CORTEKS PRO Start with a free trial. No card, and nothing is charged when you sign up. Pro covers capturing without limits, having every capture read and connected, your weekly reading, readings on your three focused objectives, and chat. After the trial, everything you already captured stays readable forever. Browsing, search, the graph, past readings and export never stop working. Corteks Pro is $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings. Terms: https://corteks.app/terms Privacy: https://corteks.app/privacy-policy

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Texie at none against Corteks's 2. Corteks's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
