Important limitations

  • Recognition can misread rushed handwriting, names, formulas, symbols, and specialist vocabulary.
  • AI summaries can omit or misstate details and should be checked against the source note.
  • Pocket Orbit is not positioned as a professional illustration suite, deep PDF notebook, audio-first transcription app, or database-heavy workspace.
  • Product availability, limits, and prices may change; dated website and regional App Store information should be checked.
