Built for family historians, genealogists, and anyone preserving handwritten records: • On-device handwriting recognition • English and Simplified Chinese recognition • Guided proofreading for uncertain results • Word-by-word comparison with the original page • Local document library and search • Text export • No account required Handwriting recognition is not perfect, especially with faded ink, ornate styles, or damaged pages.
