How the Converter Works
Take a photo with your phone or scan the page — JPG, PNG, or a multi-page PDF with up to 50 pages. The AI transcribes everything and hands you three versions of the text: a faithful word-for-word transcription, a cleaned-up reading version with gaps completed, and a free interpretation in modern phrasing. Edit any of them right in the browser, then export as plain text, a print-ready PDF with cover page, or images. You can even have the result read aloud as an MP3.
Built for the Hard Cases
Generic OCR apps do fine on tidy meeting notes. They give up on a 60-year-old letter: ballpoint that skipped, pencil that faded, words crossed out and rewritten, spellings that went out of style before 1950. That's the material we're optimized for. The AI reads the whole page in context — so "Aunt Mildred" stays Aunt Mildred, and the town name your family always mentions gets recognized instead of mangled. A built-in magnifier lets you verify every line against the original.
When AI Isn't Enough: Human Experts
Some pages are genuinely brutal — water damage, ink bleed, a hand that even the family's best reader gave up on. For those, we offer two upgrades: AI-Verified, where a specialist corrects the AI transcription ($8.99/page), and full Expert transcription by a human specialist (from $14.90/page), with personal consultation. You choose per document, and the free analysis tells you honestly which route your pages need.
What you'll find — and what our AI can read
- Photos (JPG/PNG) and multi-page PDFs
- Cursive, print, and mixed handwriting
- Faded ink, pencil, and stained pages
- Output: text file, PDF, images, audio
From handwriting to clear text
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert cursive to text online?
Upload a photo or PDF of the handwritten page — the AI converts it to editable text in minutes. No app to install, no sign-up for your first page. You can process up to 50 pages in one batch.
How accurate is the conversion?
It depends on the page, so we're honest about it: a free AI analysis grades readability before you spend anything. You get three text versions per page, a side-by-side magnifier to verify hard lines, and an expert correction tier when every word must be right.
What file formats can I upload?
Photos (JPG, PNG) straight from your phone, scans, and multi-page PDFs — up to 50 pages at once. All pages are read together, which helps the AI learn the writer's hand.
Can I edit and export the text?
Yes. Fix anything in the browser editor, then export as a plain text file, a print-ready PDF with cover page, images, or an MP3 audio version read aloud in a voice of your choice.
Is my document private?
Yes. Your uploads are never used to train AI models, transfers are SSL-encrypted, and you can delete your data anytime.
