Lectio vs LinkLab

Lectio is an OCR tool that lets you choose the engine for each task. It combines on-device recognition, professional OCR services and leading large language models to extract text from images, organize documents and convert formats. Photos, scans, PDFs, handwriting, classical texts, tables, complex formulas, columns and mixed layouts can all become editable, exportable content. Lectio preserves the original hierarchy, paragraphs and layout wherever possible, reducing manual entry and reformatting. Switch between recognition engines based on the file and use case, choosing the right balance of speed, accuracy and layout preservation. —USE CASES— ● Organize lecture slides, books and study materials Extract text, tables and formulas from slides, textbooks, notes and exercises with less manual typing. ● Recognize handwriting and classical texts Extract handwritten notes, annotations, classical works and historical documents for easier organization, search and storage. ● Prepare image content before asking AI When AI cannot read an image clearly, first convert it into structured text, then copy it into your conversation. ● Extract contracts, reports and paper documents Turn contracts, reports, scans and other paper materials into content that is easier to edit, archive and search. ● Recognize complex formulas and specialist material Process mathematical formulas, technical documents, research material and complex symbols while preserving structure wherever possible. ● Capture foreign-language text from video Extract foreign-language text from screenshots, subtitle frames and film clips for translation, study and organization. ● Convert complex documents Process files with tables, formulas, columns, hierarchies and mixed layouts, then convert them for editing or archiving. —CORE FEATURES— 1.

Links end up everywhere. A page you meant to read, sitting in a browser tab. A booking confirmation buried in an email. A recipe someone sent you in a group chat. A form your bank told you to fill in later. They are scattered across a dozen apps, and by the time you want one back, you can't remember which app it was in. LinkLab is one place for all of them. Share a link into LinkLab from whatever app you're in, give it a name you'll actually recognise, and it's there when you need it — on your device, offline, in a list you can search. SAVE A LINK FROM ANY APP, IN TWO TAPS Hit Share in Safari, Mail, Messages, or anywhere else a link turns up, pick LinkLab, and the save sheet opens right there. Add a label, drop it in a category, done — no app switching, no copying and pasting a URL into a note you'll lose. FIND IT AGAIN IN SECONDS Everything you save lands in one list, newest first, searchable by name or by URL. Group links into categories you name yourself — Recipes, Work, To Read, Bills, whatever fits — and filter the list down to one of them with a tap. Save the same link twice and LinkLab updates the entry you already have instead of piling up duplicates. A QR CODE FOR ANY LINK Generate a QR code for any saved link with one tap. Share it, or save it to Photos. It's the quickest way to get a link onto someone else's phone — the check-in page, the shared album, the menu — without spelling out a URL or making them type anything. OPEN ANYTHING, NOT JUST WEB PAGES Tap a saved link and LinkLab hands it to whatever app on your device can open it — a web page to your browser, an address to Maps, an email to Mail. It handles custom app links too, the myapp:// kind that Safari won't touch, which makes it a genuinely useful scratchpad if you build or test apps for a living. If nothing on the device can open a link, LinkLab says so plainly instead of doing nothing. RUNS ENTIRELY ON YOUR DEVICE LinkLab has no network code at all. No server, no account, no sign-up, no analytics, no third-party SDK — nothing your links could be sent to, because there is nowhere to send them. QR codes are generated on your device. Photos access is add-only and requested only at the moment you choose to save an image. For anyone whose links are scattered across too many apps, and for the developers and testers who have been using it as a deep link scratchpad since day one.
