#### Turn photos of handwritten notes into an editable Word document

Likhit turns photos of handwritten pages — class notes, assignments, letters, diaries — into a clean, editable Word (.docx) document. Add your photos or a scanned PDF, check the text, and save. That's it.

**Three ways to read handwriting**

Likhit automatically picks the best reader available on your computer. You can also choose one yourself from the "Read with" menu.

* **Cloud AI** — highest accuracy. Uses your own API key for OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, or any OpenAI-compatible service.
* **Local AI** — runs a vision model (for example qwen2.5vl) on your own machine through Ollama or LM Studio. Nothing leaves your computer and no internet is needed.
* **Offline OCR** — built-in Tesseract. Works fully offline with no setup. Best for neat or printed writing.

**A real Word document, not a text dump**

* Real Word headings and bullet lists
* Broken lines joined back into proper paragraphs
* Unclear words marked [?] and highlighted in yellow, so you know exactly what to check
* Fix any mistake in the text panel before saving
* Optional: the original photo under each page
* One page per photo, with page breaks

**Private by design**

In Local AI and Offline OCR modes Likhit works completely offline — your handwriting and text never leave your computer. Cloud AI is used only when you add your own API key and choose it. API keys are saved in your system keyring when one is available.

**Made for students and teachers**

Likhit is built for students who write notes by hand and need them typed up, and works well on low-end laptops and without internet.

Free and open source under the GPL-3.0 licence. Feedback and bug reports are welcome on GitHub.
