# LyteWriter

> LyteWriter is a web and mobile application that digitalizes handwritten and typewritten pages using AI-powered OCR and awards a Seal of Humanity — a cryptographic proof of human authorship that anyone can verify without an account.

LyteWriter was created by Pedro, a writer with a PhD in AI who chose to write on a typewriter and discovered no good solution existed for digitalizing analog writing while proving it was human-made. The application uses SHA-256 cryptographic hashing and keystroke dynamics analysis to certify that text was written by a real person, not generated by AI.

## Core Features

- AI-powered OCR for handwritten and typewritten text with automatic typo correction
- Seal of Humanity: cryptographic certification of human authorship using SHA-256 hashing
- Public verification: anyone can verify a Seal at lytewriter.com/verify without creating an account
- Keystroke dynamics analysis for text written directly in the app
- Cloud sync across all devices with automatic backup
- Export to PDF, DOCX, Markdown, and plain text
- Nested folder organization with drag-and-drop
- Batch capture and processing of multiple pages
- Shareable verification badges with QR codes for blogs, portfolios, and submissions
- Downloadable .lytewriter-proof files for formal verification (academic, legal, publishing)

## Pricing

- Free: 10 scans per month, all features included
- Typer: $3.99/month, 150 scans per month
- Writer: $9.99/month, 500 scans per month
- Hermes: $24.99/month, 2000 scans per month

All plans include the Seal of Humanity, cloud backup, all export formats, and shareable proof files.

## How It Works

1. Write on paper (handwriting or typewriter) or directly in the app
2. Photograph pages with your phone camera or upload existing photos
3. AI extracts text, corrects errors, and awards a Seal of Humanity
4. Share verification badges, embed on websites, or download proof files
5. Anyone can verify authenticity at lytewriter.com/verify
