Turn handwritten and printed pages into clean, editable text with Inksight. Scan with your camera or import images and PDFs. Review the OCR result beside the original page, correct the text, organize documents, search your library, and export finished work as PDF, Word, Excel, Markdown, or plain text. Inksight supports cursive writing and 50+ languages across Latin and non-Latin scripts. Recognition quality depends on handwriting, lighting, image clarity, and page layout, so important names and numbers should always be reviewed. Use the free allowance for occasional scans, or subscribe to Inksight Pro for unlimited scans subject to fair use and unlimited document exports. At each 2,000-scan monthly milestone, contact support for a fair-use review and additional scans. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled in your Apple account settings.
