Grape Notes Pro: Scan to Text

NEW IN 2.0: scan a page of handwritten notes and turn it into an editable checklist. Every scan is now a searchable PDF, and you can find any word you wrote. All of it happens on your iPhone or iPad. No account, no subscription, nothing uploaded.

Grape Notes Pro is a private notes and scanning workspace. Scan paper, read photos of notes and whiteboards, import files, or just type. Then search, organize, and export everything.

TURN SCANS INTO NOTES
- Turn into Note reads a scan or photo and rebuilds it as editable Markdown
- Larger handwriting and short lines like "Decisions:" become headings
- Checkbox marks, bullets, arrows and numbered lines become real lists
- Lines starting with TODO, Action or Follow up become tasks
- Lines that wrapped on paper are joined back into paragraphs
- The original scan is kept, and the new note shows where it came from

SEARCHABLE PDFS
- The text read from each page is embedded as an invisible layer, so search, select and copy work in the Files app and other PDF readers
- Read Text Again makes scans from earlier versions searchable too
- Find in Scan highlights every match on the page, with next and previous buttons
- Scanned pages are sized to print at Letter width

HANDWRITING AND PRINTED TEXT
- Printed text and handwriting are read on your device
- The language can be detected automatically, or you can pick the languages you write in
- Custom vocabulary for names, jargon and abbreviations
- Turn off spelling correction for part numbers and codes
- Works best with clear handwriting

FROM PHOTOS

- Rotate, reorder, filter and delete pages in the Scan Studio before saving
- Apply one filter to every page; Black & White now gives crisp black-and-white pages
