Snap a flyer, term planner, or invitation — Bubsby reads the text for you.

What this does

  • Reads typed and printed text from photos and PDFs.
  • Spots dates and pulls them out as suggested events or tasks.
  • Splits multi-date documents (school calendars, sports schedules) into one item per date so you can pick what to keep.

When to use this

  • A paper note from school comes home.
  • A poster for a community event.
  • A term planner email arrives as a PDF attachment.
  • A screenshot of a group chat with a date in it.

How it works

  1. Tap + → Photo (or share a photo into Bubsby from your phone's gallery).
  2. Take the photo or pick the file. PDFs work too.
  3. Bubsby reads the text — you'll see a small "Reading document..." progress ring.
  4. For single-date documents: the text fills the review screen. Confirm or edit.
  5. For multi-date documents: the document review screen opens. Tap each date to add it, mark as reference, or dismiss.

Important things to know

  • Maximum file size is 10 MB. Photos and PDFs both work.
  • The clearer the photo, the better the read — flat, well-lit, no fingers on the page.
  • Nothing is saved until you confirm. You can dismiss any extracted date you don't want.

Common questions

  • Will it read handwriting? Sometimes. Print is more reliable than cursive.
  • Where do dismissed dates go? Nowhere — they aren't saved.
