About this app

Try it before you pay: your first 3 scans give the complete result (notes, formulas, to-dos and flashcards) with no sign-up and no email. And it copies what is on the board. It does not invent facts or "correct" your lecturer.

Boardscribe turns a photo of a whiteboard, chalkboard, projected slide or handwritten page into clean, structured notes and flashcards, then helps you review them with spaced repetition.

Why it's different
• Copied as written: headings, bullets, numbers and formulas come from the board. Nothing is added that isn't there, and a mistake on the board stays as written.
• Gaps are marked, not guessed: a word that can't be read becomes [?], highlighted in the note and listed at the top so you know what to check.
• Compare with the original: your photo stays with the note, so you can open it full screen and check the transcription.
• Fix anything: edit the title, summary, tags, sections, formulas, to-dos and flashcards. Report a wrong result from inside the app.
• No sign-up: no email, no password, nothing to log into.
• No ads. English and Korean.

What one photo gives you
• A title, a short summary and the board's own sections as bullet points.
• Formulas shown as real math, with a long press to copy the LaTeX.
• To-dos and deadlines, only when they are written on the board.
• 3 to 8 flashcards that test only what is on the board.

Study and keep
• Spaced repetition: cards come back after 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days, and a card you miss comes back tomorrow. The schedule is worked out on your phone.
• Add, edit or delete cards anytime. Editing a card keeps its place in the schedule.
• Notes sorted by subject (math, science, engineering/CS, humanities, social science/business, languages, meetings) and by your own #tags.
• Search titles, notes, formulas, to-dos, tags and cards.
• Export a note as Markdown to paste into your notes app (Pro).
• Saved notes and flashcards stay on your phone and open without a connection. Scanning needs the internet.

Free and Pro
Free: 3 scans, plus flashcard review for your first note. Reading, editing and searching your notes never needs Pro. A photo that isn't a board, or a scan that fails, doesn't use up a free scan.
Pro is an auto-renewing weekly or yearly subscription with up to 100 scans a day, flashcard review for every note and Markdown export. The price and any free trial are shown in Google Play before you confirm. Cancel anytime in Google Play under Payments & subscriptions.

Privacy
Your photo is sent for AI transcription only after you agree, and you can turn this off in Settings. Notes, photos and flashcards are saved on your phone. You can delete your data in Settings.

AI can misread writing, especially when it is blurry, small or partly hidden. Check important notes against your photo.
