Note2Data turns a photo of text into clean, editable text, right on your phone. Snap a handwritten note, a page from a book, a label, a sign, or a receipt, and get back text you can copy, edit, hear read aloud, organize, and export. Everything runs on-device, with no account, no cloud, and no subscription. HOW IT WORKS • Capture anything with text, using the camera or a photo from your gallery. • Crop and rotate to frame the words. • Tap Transcribe. On-device AI reads the text, handwritten or printed, and returns it as formatted text. • Edit it in place, save it to your library, group related notes, and export. READS HANDWRITING AND PRINT Most scanners only manage neat printed pages. Note2Data also reads handwriting, like notes, journals, and letters, alongside printed text from books, labels, signs, and receipts. PRIVATE BY DESIGN What you capture is personal, so Note2Data keeps it on your device. Recognition runs locally. Your images and text are never uploaded, there is no account, and nothing is shared or sold. Optional, anonymous crash reports help us fix bugs, and they never include your images or text. ONE-TIME SETUP Each language downloads once on first run (around 750 MB for English, Wi-Fi recommended; around 21 MB for Japanese). After that, transcription works fully offline, with no connection needed. FEATURES • Reads handwriting and print: photograph a page, get editable text. • Japanese support: printed Japanese pages, vertical or horizontal, as a small add-on download - handy for book pages and language study. • Read aloud: have any transcription spoken back to you. • Library: save notes, drag to group them, rename, and edit in place. • Export: share your text or save it as a PDF. • Crop and rotate before transcribing for the cleanest read. FREE AND PRO • Free forever: transcribe pages and listen to them read aloud, with a few free imports to try copy and edit. • Pro: a single one-time purchase (no subscription) unlocks unlimited copy and edit, saving to your library, grouping, and export. WHAT IT HANDLES Note2Data reads English text, handwritten or printed, and printed Japanese (vertical or horizontal; furigana is skipped, and handwritten Japanese and decorative lettering are not supported). It is tuned for running prose, such as notes, journals, letters, and book pages, rather than complex layouts, so it does not yet handle math, tables, multi-column pages, or comic and manga panels with sound effects. Clear, well-lit pages read best. English takes a few seconds per page on a modern phone; Japanese is usually done in about a second. For anyone who wants their words back as text, without handing their pages to the cloud.
