  • “It turns out there are language options. It’s easy to use.”
    Morgan S.5-star Google Play review · Translated from Indonesian
  • “Easy to use, and it even recognizes illegible handwriting or crossed-out words on to-do lists. Automatic naming is very helpful, and images of your notes remain visible for reference.”

A real Word file, not a picture in a document.

Headings stay headings. Lists stay lists. Tables stay tables. The file opens in Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice or Pages, and you can edit every word.

Class and meeting notes

Turn a notebook session into a file you can reorder, share and search.

Drafts written on paper

Move a handwritten draft into Word without typing it out again first.

Notes you have to send on

Minutes, reports and write-ups that have to leave your desk as a proper file.

OCR that ends in a document.

The original stays visible while you review the result. Nothing is hidden behind a download until you know the page was understood.

Handwriting recognition across 50+ languages.

Scan Latin-script notes in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and more, as well as Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other supported scripts. Language is detected from the page—there is no selector to configure first.

Recognition quality varies with handwriting, image clarity, page angle, and document structure. Review important names and numbers before using an export.

Before you scan a page.

How do I turn handwritten notes into a Word file?

Upload photos, a scan or a PDF of your notes. Inksight reads each page and shows the text next to your page. Fix anything that is wrong, then download the .docx.

Can I really edit the Word file?

Yes. It is a normal .docx with real text, headings, lists and tables. It is not a picture of your page, so you can edit it, restyle it and search it.

Can I put several pages in one Word file?

Yes. Add every page to the same document, put them in the order you want, then download them as one file.

Does it work with Google Docs?

Yes. The .docx opens in Google Docs, Microsoft Word, LibreOffice Writer and Apple Pages.

Can I get a PDF or Excel file instead?

Yes. Every finished page can be saved as Word, PDF or text, and as Excel when the page has a table.

Is it free?

Your first ten pages on the web are free, exports included. After that Inksight still reads the page and shows you a locked preview, so you can see the result before you pick a plan.
