Scan a Photo
Turn any photo into a note.Handwriting and all.
Snap a whiteboard, a receipt, or a page of handwriting. Cimanote reads it, suggests a title, and even turns your checkboxes into real checklists. Then it is fully searchable, forever.
Photos of notes are not notes
The whiteboard after a great meeting. A page from your journal. A receipt you need for expenses. They end up as photos buried in your camera roll, impossible to search and easy to forget. A picture of your thinking is not the same as having it.
What people scan
The whiteboard
After the meeting, one photo of the whiteboard becomes a clean, editable note - action items already laid out as a checklist.
The handwritten page
Journal entries and notebook scribbles become typed, searchable text. Cimanote Pro reads real handwriting, not just print.
The receipt
Snap a receipt and the vendor, date, and total become searchable text you can find at expense time.
The printed document
A page from a book or a printout becomes a note you can quote, edit, and search - no retyping.
