“The best scanning app I have had so far. I really recommend this app—it’s fast and accurate.”
Avery L.Google Play · English “It is the best scanner and handwritten copier-to-Word app I have ever come across. I recommend it to anyone who needs such an app.”
Jordan M.Google Play · English “A good app—it even deciphered my sloppy handwriting with a minimum of errors.”
Casey R.Google Play · Translated from Russian “This app is great! So much better than the competition—I had no issue bulk uploading and recognizing my messy handwriting. Recommend.”
Taylor K.Google Play · English “It turns out there are language options. It’s easy to use.”
Morgan S.Google Play · 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.”

OCR that ends in a document.

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 convert an image to editable text?
Drop in an image or PDF. Inksight reads the page and opens an editable document beside the original so you can review it before copying or downloading.
Which file types can I upload?
The browser tool accepts common image formats, HEIC, TIFF, and PDF files, including multi-page PDFs.
Can image OCR keep tables and headings?
Yes. Inksight produces structured document output, including headings, lists, and tables when they appear on the page.
Is image to text free online?
The first ten web pages are free. You can inspect the finished result before deciding whether to unlock later pages.
