Handwriting to Text

Read full description

Your best thinking ends up on paper. Then it disappears into a drawer, a backpack, or a camera roll you never open again. Glyph turns those handwritten pages and whiteboard photos into text you can actually search, so the idea you wrote last Tuesday is one tap away. Point your camera at a notebook page or a whiteboard. Glyph straightens it, cleans it up, and reads the writing into searchable text, right on your device. Your scattered notes become one calm library you can search by a word you remember. What you can do with Glyph: * Scan handwritten notes and whiteboards with automatic edge detection and perspective correction * Turn handwriting into searchable text with on-device recognition * Search your entire archive by any word you wrote * Sort notes into folders and tags that match how you think * Export any note to plain text or markdown * Keep the original photo beside the text, always Private by default: Everything stays on your phone. Glyph reads your handwriting on-device. There is no account to create and your notes are never uploaded to a server. Your pages are yours. Made for people with more notes than time: Glyph is built for the lecture you will revisit, the whiteboard you cannot lose, and the notebook you filled six months ago. Stop flipping pages to find what you already know is there. Scan your first pages during your free trial, then keep your whole library searchable. Glyph Premium is an auto-renewable subscription. Your free trial converts to a paid subscription unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase, and the subscription renews automatically until canceled. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
