Unlock the full potential of your notes with Text Recognition

Unlock the full potential of your notes with Text Recognition. Powered by Notewise AI, this feature allows you to digitize text from handwriting, scanned documents, and imagesβ€”making your notes searchable and fully interactive.

What can Text Recognition do?

Once processed, your handwritten notes and images become "readable" digital text. This allows you to:

  • Search: Instantly find specific keywords within your handwriting or imported PDFs.

  • Copy: Convert handwriting to text and copy it to your clipboard.

  • Translate: Select text directly from a document or drawing to translate it into another language.

Step 1: Set Your Recognition Language

To ensure the AI understands your handwriting accurately, you need to set your primary language first.

  1. Open Notewise Settings.

  2. Navigate to Text Recognition.

  3. Select your primary language from the list.

Step 2: Create or Import Content

Simply take notes, write with your stylus, or import images/scanned documents as you normally would.

  • Automatic Processing: Text recognition happens automatically in the background.

  • Processing Time: Please allow approximately 2 minutes for new content to be fully recognized and indexed by the AI.

Step 3: Interact with Your Text

Once the recognition process is complete, you can interact with the content directly:

  • Select & Copy: Simply long-press directly on your handwriting or image text. A menu will appear allowing you to select the text, copy it, or translate it.

  • Search: Tap the Search icon and type your keyword. The app will highlight matches in your handwriting, PDFs, and images.
