Oblivious is a companion app for magicians and mentalists, designed for entertainment and live performances. Connect compatible Oblivious writing boards to your iPhone or iPad and view live handwriting and drawings. Use multiple boards, recognition tools, manual input and performance modes to prepare and present your routines. OFFLINE HANDWRITING AND SKETCH RECOGNITION Recognise handwriting and sketches directly on your iPhone or iPad. After a one-time download of your chosen recognition models, recognition works offline without an internet connection. Use recognised words, numbers and drawings with supported performance modes, triggers and actions. PRINTING AND TEMPLATES Create, preview and print lottery tickets and retail receipts using the built-in lotto ticket and receipt templates in Printer mode. These printed items are performance props for entertainment, not valid lottery entries or proof of purchase. Choose a template, customise its layout and enter the values for your performance. Printer mode also includes Post-it layouts for text, handwriting and drawings. Confabulation lets you prepare scripts with placeholders, collect inputs and print the completed script. Connect supported Bluetooth printers, including compatible PeriPage and Phomemo models. Available paper sizes and printing features depend on the printer. Printing requires compatible hardware; template setup, manual input and previews can be used without a printer. BOARDS, ACCESSORIES AND PERFORMANCE TOOLS Use supported Oblivious boards, Bridge, Notifier, Reach and T9 remote accessories with connection and battery information, device settings, and triggers and actions. Available features depend on the connected hardware and firmware. Connect a compatible SB Watch and use Inject integration with supported modes. Photo Predict, Apple Watch viewing, C.U.P.P., U.T.P., C.D.P., Search, Comms, Prevision and other modes provide additional tools for your performances.
