Convert handwriting to text

With Axsuro you keep writing on paper. One photo of the page is enough: Axsuro reads every line, recognises what it means and puts it where you keep working. You need no special notebook and no digital pen.

#How it works

1. Write as you always do. Any paper works: lined, squared or blank. You can mix English and German on one page.
2. Take a photo of the page. In the Axsuro app for iPhone, tap the big button in the middle, then "Take a photo". In the browser, open app.axsuro.com and choose Add pages. Photos you already have and PDFs work there too.
3. Axsuro reads the page. It usually takes a few seconds. The page is read even if you close the app or the window.
4. Check what was found. Every line shows as text next to the photo. Tasks and events wait for your yes when Axsuro is not quite sure.

Tip: Want to try it first? app.axsuro.com/try opens an example page that is already read, with a short tour.

#What a line becomes

Axsuro tells apart what you wrote:

• A line without a marker becomes a thought. Lines that belong together stay one thought.
• With a marker at the start of a line you decide what it becomes, for example todo: for a task or cal: for an event. All markers are listed under Markers.
• Drawings are recognised as sketches and cut out of the photo.

#Whole pages as typed text

If you wrote a longer text, such as a draft or minutes, write doc: Title at the top of the page. Everything below becomes a typed document, word for word, in a normal font. You can edit, comment, export and print it.

It works without the marker too: open the read page and choose Save as document.

#When something was read wrong

Handwriting is personal, and sometimes Axsuro reads a word wrong. Open the page and tap Fix on the line. Axsuro remembers your correction for the next pages. More under When Axsuro reads a line wrong.

#Good to know

• For good results, take one page per photo, from straight above, in good light. More under Photograph your pages well.
• Your pages are stored in Frankfurt (EU) and are never used to train AI models. More under Where is my data?.
