Read full description

OldScript turns old handwritten letters, journals, and family records into searchable text on your iPhone. Standard recognition runs on device, so document images and recognized text are not uploaded. Scan with the camera or import photos, review uncertain words in a focused proofreading workflow, organize documents, and export clean text for your archive. Built for family historians, genealogists, and anyone preserving handwritten records: • On-device handwriting recognition • English and Simplified Chinese recognition • Guided proofreading for uncertain results • Word-by-word comparison with the original page • Local document library and search • Text export • No account required Handwriting recognition is not perfect, especially with faded ink, ornate styles, or damaged pages. OldScript highlights uncertain output so you can verify it before saving or sharing.
