Cursive Lens

Read the letter your great-grandmother wrote in 1892 — today, on your phone. CursiveLens is built for one job: turning old handwriting into text you can actually read. Not the notes you wrote yesterday. Other people's handwriting, and the older the better — faded ink, looping copperplate, secretary hand, and letters crossed sideways over themselves to save paper. WHAT ONE PHOTO GIVES YOU • A faithful transcript that keeps the original line breaks and marks anything genuinely unreadable as [illegible] • A plain-English summary, so you know what a document says before you work through every word • The people, places, and dates it mentions, pulled out and tagged BUILT FOR OLD DOCUMENTS, NOT FOR NOTES Most handwriting apps exist to digitize the notes you took this morning, and they fall apart on a 19th-century will. CursiveLens lets you say what you are looking at — letter, will, deed, census return, diary page — and roughly when it was written and in what language. That context is what lets it read historical cursive instead of guessing at it. CAPTURE WHOLE DOCUMENTS • Use the built-in document scanner, import from your photo library, or open a PDF • A four-page letter stays one document, not four loose photos • Works on originals, archive photocopies, microfilm printouts, and screenshots from research sites YOU ARE THE FINAL AUTHORITY Your image and its transcript sit side by side. Pinch to zoom into the word that is giving you trouble, correct the text yourself, and your correction is what gets saved. Re-transcribe any page with a different hint whenever you want. AN ARCHIVE THAT STAYS FINDABLE Every document lands in a searchable library with a title, a date, and the names it mentions. Search every transcript at once for a surname, a farm, a ship, or a regiment — the line you half-remember reading is one tap away. SHARE THE FIND Export a transcript as plain text, or as a PDF with the original image and the transcription side by side — ready to send to a cousin, attach to a research log, or file with a tree. WHO IT IS FOR Genealogists and family historians. Anyone who has inherited a shoebox of letters nobody can read. Local historians, archivists, students working from primary sources, and everyone who has ever squinted at a census page and given up. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your documents and transcripts live on your phone. There is no account, no sign-up, and no cloud archive. A page is sent for transcription only in the moment you ask for one, and it is never stored on a server afterwards. FREE TO TRY, THEN PRO Your first three documents are free — enough to prove it on your own family papers. CursiveLens Pro unlocks unlimited transcriptions, an unlimited library, and PDF export. Pro is an auto-renewing subscription: an annual plan that opens with a 7-day free trial, or a monthly plan if you would rather not commit to a year. Prices are shown in your own currency before you buy. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it any time in your App Store account settings. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription. CursiveLens is made by Adelyons Software LLC. Questions, or a document it struggled with? Email dev@adelyons.com.
