Convert Handwritten Notes to Digital Text

Transform notebooks, research journals, and classroom notes into editable documents.

Fast handwriting OCR for students and researchers

Capture lecture notes, daily journals, and lab observations with your phone camera. LocalKit recognises neat print handwriting and outputs clean text for flashcards, study guides, or research logs.

Graduate students and knowledge workers use this flow to keep analog capture while maintaining a searchable digital archive.

How it works

  1. Take a bright, evenly lit photo of your notebook or note card.
  2. Upload it and pick the primary language-mix multiple languages using the eng+spa pattern if needed.
  3. Copy the cleaned-up transcription into Docs, Obsidian, or your PKM tool of choice.

FAQs

Does cursive work?

Block lettering works best. For cursive, try scanning at a higher resolution or enabling the enhancement toggle.
