Scriblet

Write a word. Hear it spoken. Stay part of the conversation.

Scriblet gives your handwriting a voice. Write on the screen with your finger or Apple Pencil. Scriblet recognizes your handwriting and reads it aloud, using the voices already on your iPhone or iPad.

Made for the moments when speaking isn't possible: after throat or vocal cord surgery, with ALS or aphasia, after a laryngectomy or tracheostomy, while recovering in the hospital, or simply on the days your voice won't come.

Simple enough to hand to someone in a hospital bed.

EVEN MORE ACCURATE ON iOS 27
Scriblet reads handwriting on every supported iPhone and iPad. On iOS 27 it gets even more accurate: Scriblet then reads your writing from the pen strokes themselves, how each letter was drawn, not just how it looks. A second reading double-checks the result. Shaky, cursive or rushed: far fewer words need correcting. Everything happens on your device.

WRITE. TYPE. SCAN.
• Write: after a short pause, your handwriting turns into text automatically, word by word
• Type: use the keyboard whenever it's faster. Scriblet can read each word aloud as you go
• Scan: take a photo of a note, printed or handwritten, and have it read aloud

BUILD YOUR MESSAGE
• Every recognized word becomes a tile: tap to edit, drag to reorder, remove with one tap
• One large button reads the whole sentence aloud
• In landscape and on iPad, the note sheet and your sentence sit side by side like an open book. Swap the pages with one tap
• Quick phrases for what you need every day: one tap and they're spoken
• Your history keeps what you've said, ready to say again

YOUR WORDS STILL MATTER
Scriblet can't give anyone their voice back. But it can help make sure your words are still heard.
