How to turn OCR text into reviewable reading notes
Updated 2026-08-29
Check, select, and organize OCR results so a page of text becomes a useful personal study record.
Capture and check the original
Lighting, clarity, layout, and language affect OCR accuracy. Check the result against the original before relying on it.
Use the camera or choose an image from the system photo library. You can review the OCR result before translating or organizing it.
- Camera and photo access are requested only when you choose the related feature, and you can change access at any time in iOS Settings.
Use language tools to clarify meaning
Where supported, translation, speech recognition, and text-to-speech features prioritize capabilities provided on the device by iOS.
Machine recognition, translation, and speech output may be incomplete or inaccurate and must not replace human review in professional or high-risk contexts.
Keep a route back to the source
Bind recognised material to a book and page number, organise it as sentence cards, and return to that context while reviewing local learning progress and reports.
Book and page associations, sentence cards, learning profiles, and reports are stored on your device by default. The current release has no remote account or sync feature.
Understand accuracy and local-storage boundaries
Images, OCR text, translations, and learning content are processed and stored on the device by default. Speech-input results are stored on the device by default; the operator does not retain microphone audio.
The current release has no advertising and no analytics. It also does not include advertising tracking, cross-app tracking, IDFA use, heat maps, or session replay.
