iA Writer vs InlayPDF

iA Writer is the original Markdown writing app. Keep your hands on the keys and your mind in the text. No buttons, no popups, no title bar. Write first, format later. # Professional Text Tools iA Writer is not yet another layout program. It’s an app designed for writing and nothing else. iA Writer has less features and more focus. It doesn’t fill the screen with fonts, styles and toolbars. Every function deepens the focus. # Hyperfocus Focus Mode dims everything but the current sentence or paragraph, keeping you in the flow. It helps you re-feel, re-think, and re-write your text until it says exactly what you mean. # Authorship Did you write this? Or Claude? iA Writer tracks and shows what you wrote and what you pasted. Your words speak in black and white. AI stands out in technicolor. As you type, you make it your own. Don’t let AI speak for you. # The Elements of Style Cut noise, think clearly.

SEARCH AND HIGHLIGHT TEXT IN PDF SCREENSHOTS Have you inserted a screenshot into a PDF page and want to highlight its text? Since a screenshot is an image, your PDF app usually cannot recognize the words within it as text. InlayPDF recognizes these words and adds invisible, selectable text to the PDF page. You can then search, select, and highlight the text within the screenshot in a compatible PDF app. The page’s appearance stays the same. Text recognition takes place entirely on your iPhone or iPad. HOW IT WORKS • Insert your screenshot into a PDF page using your preferred PDF app. • Open that single page in InlayPDF from the Files app or paste it from the clipboard. • InlayPDF automatically recognizes the text within the screenshot. • Export the processed page and open it in your PDF app, or insert it back into your original document. • You can now search, select, and highlight the text within the screenshot, too. Please note: InlayPDF processes one PDF page at a time. Text selection and highlighting may vary between PDF apps.
