Quillread Reads the Handwriting Your Family Tree Left Behind
A focused transcription service for old German letters, church records, certificates, and other documents, with English translation and uncertainty marking.
Field notes
The service accepts a single phone photo or scan and asks users to provide any known family names or places before processing. Its stated workflow compares two independent AI readings, sends disagreements to another review, and checks dates against calendars and places against records. Reports are designed for genealogy work: they include extracted people, dates, and places, a glossary of older terms, research suggestions, and a PDF. The site specifically names Kurrent, Sütterlin, Fraktur, and mixed German-Latin church records.
