What it does

Less typing.
More doing.

A small, fast image-to-text app that does one job well: get the words out of a picture and into something you can edit, copy and send.

Scan a whole stack at once

Pick several photos from your gallery and LuraNote reads them all, so a full chapter or a week of class notes ends up in one note.

Reads handwriting

It reads printed pages and handwritten notes alike, so your messy notebook scans fine too.

Edit like a doc

Clean up the result in a built-in rich-text editor with bold, italics, headings and lists.

Add pages as you go

Scan another photo straight into your note at the cursor, and keep going until the document is done.

Every scan, saved

Past scans live in the app, so you can reopen, edit or share them any time without scanning again.

Then send it anywhere.

Copy to clipboard, share with any app, or save to your notes, each in one tap.

Private by design

Your words never leave your phone.

Text recognition runs entirely on your device. Your photos and the text inside them are never sent to us or anyone else.

0images or words uploaded to a server. Ever.

  • On-device recognition

    The OCR engine runs on your phone, so there's no server round-trip and no waiting.

  • Works anywhere

    On a plane, in a basement library or with no signal, it scans just the same.

  • No account, no tracking

    There's no sign-up and no data collection. Notes stay on the device unless you share them yourself.
