This project aims to develop a mobile application that enhances student productivity by digitising and organising study materials. The app allows users to scan handwritten notes and handouts using their smartphone, instantly creating digital copies for easy access anytime, anywhere.

A key feature of the app is its ability to recognise and flag important terms and concepts within scanned notes. These flagged items are automatically converted into digital flashcards, streamlining the study process and supporting active recall techniques.

To help students stay motivated and on track, the app includes progress tracking and milestone celebrations after successful study sessions. Additionally, the app integrates with Five Star® Planners, enabling users to scan handwritten calendar entries. These events can be synced with the user’s preferred digital calendar, providing timely alerts and reminders for upcoming deadlines and important dates.

By combining intelligent scanning, automated study tools, and calendar integration, this project delivers a comprehensive solution for modern learners seeking to stay organised and study smarter.
