Quick answer

A calendar scanner uses OCR and AI parsing to read the text in your photos, identify dates, times, and locations, and convert them into actionable calendar events you can review before saving.

Step by step

1. Image to Text (OCR)

The app scans your calendar or photo and reads the characters.

2. Semantic Parsing

AI understands which piece of text is a date, a time, or a location.

3. ICS Generation

The parsed schedule is converted into a structured event ready for any calendar.
