Envy 1.9.0 — Scan & Search the Physical World

Scan and search the physical world: photograph or scan straight into a note, and Envy reads the text so you can find it later. Everything runs on-device: no account, no network, nothing leaves your Mac.

Capture from your iPhone

A camera button beside the search bar (and right-click → "Import from iPhone or iPad" inside any note) takes a photo or scans a document with your phone. A photo becomes a fresh note; a scan comes in cropped to the page and straightened, one image per page, titled by the date.

Search the text inside your images

With OCR on (Settings → Import → Camera & Scanning), Envy reads your photos and scans on-device and search finds them: img: whiteboard searches only your images, and a plain search reaches image text too. Matching words light up right on the picture.

Live Text and transcription

Drag across the text on any scan to select and copy it, or right-click for "Copy Text from Image" and "Transcribe Text into Note" (which drops the words in as plain text below the picture).

Newer Kindles, via Moorage

Kindle import now also reads from an MTP Kindle mounted with Moorage (under ~/Moorage), so newer models work too, not just older USB-mounting ones.

Printed pages, whiteboards, and receipts read cleanly; handwriting is a coin flip.
