CalendarScan

Photograph a paper calendar and CalendarScan turns the events on it into entries in your digital calendar.

That is the whole job: CalendarScan is an AI calendar scanner and OCR app that reads dates and event details from a physical calendar and adds them to your phone, so you skip typing them in one by one.

The app is built for the common problem of school schedules, club timetables and wall calendars that never made it onto a screen.

It uses AI to interpret the layout and text, which matters because calendar grids are awkward for plain text recognition.

The catch is photo quality.

Accuracy depends on how clear your picture is, so good light and a flat, sharp shot will give better results than a blurry snap.

CalendarScan is available on Google Play and the App Store.

A web version is coming soon but is not available yet, so for now you need a phone.
