Handwritten notes to text
Photograph your lecture, study or meeting notes and get searchable, editable text you can paste anywhere.
Files are processed and immediately discarded. We don't keep them.
From notebook to searchable text
Handwritten notes are quick to write and hard to search. Photograph each page with your phone, and DocVolta gives you plain text you can paste into Notion, Google Docs, Word, Obsidian or an email, or download as a .txt or .docx file.
Good to know
- It works best on one page per photo.
- Diagrams, arrows and doodles are skipped; you get the words.
- Crossed-out words may still be read, so give the text a quick check.
