VelNotes: Handwriting Notes

Take handwritten notes, write on PDFs, record your lectures.
All in one iPad notebook: no account, no ads, start right away.
NEW: Math mode! Write a calculation with your pen or finger, add =, and we'll handle the rest.

MATH MODE
The answer is written next to the = in your own ink color, and if you write your own answer, we'll check it. (We don't read equations with unknowns, exponents or stacked fractions yet; we're still improving it.)

BEAUTIFY WHILE WRITING
Rushed lines tidy up as you write: pick one of 19 styles or a neater version of your own hand. (Experimental)

WRITE AND DRAW FREELY
Write with Apple Pencil or your finger, and bring pages to life with a fountain pen, stickers, 300+ GIFs and GIF Studio. Open notebooks in tabs and pick any page size.

PDFS AND SCANS
Open a PDF or scan a page and write on it. Narrow PDF? Expand the page or add space on the right.

RECORD AND TRANSCRIBE
Record a lecture and turn the talk into text, then convert your handwriting to text too.

TIME TRAVEL
Watch a page being written from the very start, and share the video for free.

STUDY FOR EXAMS
Hide answers under study tape to test yourself, and stay focused with the Timer.

YOUR NOTEBOOKS STAY YOURS
Notebooks sync across your iPads through your own iCloud Drive and aren't uploaded to our servers. Lock any notebook you like.

FREE AND PRO
The free plan lets you create 3 notebooks in total on this iPad, record up to 15 minutes at a time and try live transcription once; Math mode, Beautify, handwriting to text, iCloud sync and Time Travel videos are free for everyone. Pro (weekly, monthly, yearly or lifetime) unlocks unlimited notebooks, longer recordings, transcription of audio and video files, and unlimited live transcription on supported iPads.

Transcription and handwriting recognition depend on device and language support.
