What users are saying

Teachers, students, and office workers use this tool to clean up documents every day.

I remove handwriting from worksheets every week after my students fill them in. It takes seconds and the cleaned pages look good enough to reuse straight away.

After each exam I scan my study guides and remove all my handwritten notes so I can reuse them next semester. The skew correction is a bonus I didn't expect.

We receive a lot of completed forms with handwriting all over them. Being able to remove it and recover the blank template digitally saves us a lot of reprinting.
