Reads real Amharic handwriting
Amharic uses the Ge'ez syllabary, where each of its 200-plus characters bundles a consonant and a vowel together. We tuned it on everyday Amharic penmanship — not just tidy print — so casual and rushed writing still comes through.
Made for Ge'ez script
This is not a generic reader. It knows the quirks of Ge'ez script, which is why ge'ez syllabary recognition works as well as it does.
Photos and PDFs both work
Snap a picture or drop in a multi-page PDF. We pull the Amharic text out of school work, letters and official documents.
Edit before you export
The result lands in an editable box, so you can fix anything the AI misread and then copy or download it — no extra steps.
Export however you need
Save your text as TXT, Markdown, Word (.docx) or PDF, or copy it straight to the clipboard.
Your files stay private
Every Amharic image is processed securely and deleted right after the text is pulled. Nothing is kept on our servers.
