Turn a Photo of Notes or a Textbook into a Study Guide
Knomi Notes reads a photo of a textbook page, a whiteboard or your own handwritten notes and writes it up as a typed study guide: a summary, clean sections and the key terms. Add several photos to one guide, and it is free with no paid plan.
Add material: upload a file, paste a link, record, or paste text.

Questions
Is it free?
Knomi Notes is free, with no paid plan and no trial that runs out. You need a free Knomi account to save what you make; you can set everything up before you make one.
Can it read handwriting?
Yes, neat handwriting reads well. Very small, faint or slanted writing, or a photo taken at an angle in poor light, makes more mistakes, so check names and numbers in the guide.
How many photos can I add?
Up to 8 files in one guide, each photo up to 25 MB before it is shrunk. For more pages, a PDF scan of up to 60 pages works too.
Does it read diagrams and equations?
It reads what is on the page, including labels on diagrams and written equations, and describes them in the notes. It does not redraw diagrams.
Will it make things up?
Knomi is told to use only your material. Every flashcard and quiz question carries the line of your material it comes from, and those lines are checked against your text in code.
What happens to my photos?
Your files are read once to write the note, then deleted. The note and what you make from it are saved to your account and nobody else's.
