An assistant that writes

Ask for a page, a change or a whole notebook in your own words. It reads your files, works it out and writes every line.

Handwriting styles

Built in, from neat print to quick cursive, and each one yours to tune: size, spacing, neatness and pen.

Your own handwriting

Write on your iPad and Scriven learns your hand as you go.

Every paper

Ruled, college, graph, dots, legal pad, engineering or blank, in white, cream or grey.

Maths and diagrams

Equations, fractions and matrices; graphs, circuits, mechanisms and labelled sketches, all by hand.

Write on any PDF

Handouts, forms and cards, or a photo of a page. It finds the blanks, boxes and tables and writes where things go.

Any ink

Any colour, a ballpoint or a pencil, at any size and spacing.

Pictures on the page

Paste or drop a picture; crop it, turn it, frame it, and the writing flows around it.

Typed text too

Any block can be type instead of handwriting.

Realistic scans

Pen or pencil, scan app, colour, greyscale or flatbed; both sides, punched or stapled.

To your iPad

A PDF for any app, ink you can erase in PDF editors, or a picture of each page.

Connect your AI

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Codex can write in Scriven for you.

On any paper, in any ink.

Ruled, graph, dots, a legal pad or a blank card. Any colour, pen or pencil.
