Photograph the pages. That's the whole job. PRESERVE Point your camera at any journal page — cursive, print, faded ink. iSOAP reads your handwriting and keeps a faithful transcription beside the photo of the original page. Your words, kept safe and set free. REDISCOVER Search every word you've ever written, in seconds. Find the entry from the night before the big decision. Watch old prayers stand next to their answers. Your journals stop being boxes on a shelf and become a life you can revisit. CREATE Write today's entry in the app — free-form, or guided by the SOAP method (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer). Or just speak: talk like you'd journal, and iSOAP writes it down, keeping the recording with the entry.

Verdict
