A clearer way to work through family letters: review each page, compare originals with the text, and make your own corrections.
Bring family letters back into focus.
Heirloom helps you read handwritten letters, cursive, diary pages, and old documents with AI transcription. See a modernized version in the original language, an English translation for non-English writing, or listen with Read Aloud.
- Scan or import up to five pages, then check and reorder them before reading.
- Keep the original pages with new saved letters and zoom in to compare them with the text.
- Save a draft and come back later.
- Correct the transcript, modernized text, or translation on your device, without another AI request.
- Keep the original AI text and see reminders to check related versions after a correction.
- Share the text version you choose.
Made for family history and genealogy research. AI can misread handwriting or omit text; check important names, dates, and uncertain passages against the originals. Results depend on the writing and photo quality.
Internet is required for AI reading. Selected photos are sent to the reading service for processing. Saved letters and edits are stored on your device.
Try a first-letter preview. Heirloom Unlimited offers weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscriptions for continued reading. Prices are shown before purchase. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple account settings.
