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.

Primary school teacher

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.
