Writing is hard. Werdsmith makes it easier. Werdsmith turns your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro and Apple Watch into a powerful writing studio that helps you break through writer's block and motivates you to write. BEAT WRITER’S BLOCK Add your project to Werdsmith and whenever you get stuck, the app can suggest the next line of your story for you, in your own writing style. BUILD YOUR WRITING PRACTICE Tell us when you write best and Werdsmith will help you build a daily writing ritual. You can set daily or per-project writing goals and track them as you write. You’ll be writing more than ever. FOCUS ON WRITING Instead of formatting options that distract you from writing, Werdsmith formats your work as you write – automatically adding fonts, chapter titles and even keeping your chapter numbers in order. Werdsmith can fit into your existing writing process, or you can treat it like a fresh start. It's up to you. We’re writers from 175 countries who’ve written over 4 million projects using Werdsmith. Join us! --- Things you might want to know: You can use all of Werdsmith's features for free, but there are limits, for example in the number of projects you can add, the number of writing prompts you can create, or the amount of time you can spend in Novel Mode or using app themes. You can increase or remove these limits by becoming a Werdsmith member. Sync, backup and sharing features are optional, but require a free Werdsmith account. If you choose to become a member, you’ll be charged through your iTunes account at the end of your one-week free trial period, unless you cancel your membership at least 24 hours before it begins. Your subscription will renew automatically, unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage, upgrade, downgrade or cancel your subscription in the app's Settings or by going to your App Store account settings. Keep in mind that any unused portion of your free trial period is forfeited if you purchase a membership before the end of the trial. Please read our Privacy Policy at werdsmith.com/privacy and our Terms of Use at werdsmith.com/terms. Feel free to contact us if you need help! A big thanks to the writers who've supported Werdsmith over the years. We couldn't do it without you.

iSkano është një skaner dokumentesh falas — pa reklama, pa vulë, pa abonim dhe pa llogari — dhe gjithçka funksionon tërësisht në iPhone-in tënd. Asgjë që skanon nuk del kurrë nga telefoni. SKANO NË SEKONDA Drejto kamerën te çdo letër. Skajet zbulohen automatikisht, faqet priten dhe drejtohen vetë, dhe dokumentet me shumë faqe kapen në një rrjedhë të vetme. Mënyra të dedikuara për letërnjoftime, pasaporta dhe fatura. AI QË I KUPTON DOKUMENTET E TUA Çdo skanim lexohet në telefon: dokumentet emërtohen vetë, renditen në dosje (Fatura, Kontrata, Letërnjoftime, Pasaporta) dhe marrin një përmbledhje AI me faktet kryesore — shuma, afate, IBAN — si etiketa që kopjohen me një prekje. Pyet AI çfarëdo për një dokument dhe merr përgjigje të krijuara në telefonin tënd. GJEJ ÇDO LETËR NË SEKONDA Kërkimi mbulon çdo fjalë në çdo faqe që ke skanuar ndonjëherë. Plotësisht offline. PËRKTHE, EKSPORTO, NËNSHKRUAJ Përkthe dokumentet në 50+ gjuhë me paketa gjuhësore offline. Eksporto në PDF ose në Word (.docx) të vërtetë. Vizato nënshkrimin një herë dhe vendose në çdo dokument. Vendos të dyja anët e letërnjoftimit në një faqe A4. KOPJA JOTE, RE-JA JOTE Kopja rezervë opsionale i ngarkon PDF-të direkt në iCloud Drive-in tënd — kurrë në ndonjë server të iSkano-s, sepse nuk ekzistojnë fare. PRIVAT NGA THEMELI Pa llogari. Pa analitikë. Pa gjurmim. Kyçje me Face ID. iSkano është me kod të hapur (GPL-3.0), kështu që çdo premtim privatësie mund të verifikohet nga kushdo: github.com/rexhepa/iSkano Në shqip dhe anglisht. — iSkano is a free, open-source document scanner. Everything — OCR, full-text search, AI summaries, translation, Word export — runs entirely on your iPhone. No ads, no subscription, no account. Nothing ever leaves your phone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iSkano at none against Werdsmith's 7. Werdsmith's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
