About

Ink2Post

Read full description

Scribble. Snap. Shape. Share. Snap your handwritten page with your phone. Get editable text back in seconds. No retyping, no account, no ads. I write by hand using notebooks, journals, a fountain pen that goes everywhere I do. The thinking is just better on paper. But retyping those pages? That's not writing, that's data entry. I hated that enough to build this app. Besides, I don't want to carry a laptop everywhere, and hunting for power outlets is a drag. A pocket notebook and a phone are always on me. When inspiration hits, I jot it down and snap it later. Ink2Post fits how I actually live, and I suspect it'll fit you too. READS REAL HANDWRITING Most apps in this category run old OCR that chokes on anything messier than a grocery list. Ink2Post reads the whole page the way a person does. * Cursive, print, or your personal mix of both * Math formulas and special characters * Builds one document from many pages, across days or weeks * Faster and more accurate than character-by-character scanners Skeptical? Good. Test your own handwriting first at https://prometheus.cafe/test-your-handwriting. It's free, in your browser, no download. YOUR WORDS STAY YOUR WORDS Ink2Post transcribes. It does not rewrite, autocorrect, or "improve" your writing. No AI slop in your voice. What you wrote is what you get, misread words and all, yours to fix in the built-in editor. Your pages stay private, too. Images are processed and immediately discarded. Our server never stores your writing. No account, no email, no tracking. What's in your journal stays in your journal. Export as Word, PDF, Markdown, HTML, or plain text. So your words in many formats, never locked in. HOW IT WORKS 1. Scribble: Write on paper, like you already do 2. Snap: Photograph the page 3. Shape: Fix any misreads in the editor 4. Share: Copy it, post it, or send it to another app PRICING WITHOUT THE GAMES Free every month, full quality, no card required. Write more than the free tier covers? Pro is unlimited, so one simple subscription, no credits to count, no ads on any tier, ever. Cancel anytime. WHO THIS IS FOR People who think with a pen. Students digitizing lecture notes. Writers drafting novels in notebooks. Capture whiteboard sessions and meeting notes. D&D players preserving campaign journals. Recipe collectors. Diary keepers... If you write by hand and need your words in digital form, this is the app I wish someone had built for me. Part of Prometheus Cafe: tools for writers who put ink first.
