Account-free whiteboard for students & teachers

SolarScribe is a free, account-free whiteboard built for students and teachers. Work on an infinite canvas, convert handwriting into text, automatically recognize shapes, erase with a scribble, and fine-tune ink smoothness. You can also open PDFs and turn them into interactive notebooks, with the ability to draw, add, remove, and reorder pages. No account required. Just open SolarScribe and start writing.
I built SolarScribe because I wanted a better digital whiteboard experience for students and teachers.
I was inspired by the classroom smartboards and wanted to replicate that same feeling of writing, drawing, explaining and interacting with a board on any device at all, without the need for any costly hardware or complicated software.
I was after something that was easy to access but very powerful to use: an infinite canvas, handwriting to text, automatic shape recognition, scribble to erase, adjustable ink smoothness and the ability to work directly with PDFs as interactive notebooks.
I also wanted to get rid of any unnecessary hurdles. No accounts, no subscriptions, no fiddly setup. Just open the website and you're away.
SolarScribe is a project in the pipeline and the aim is to make digital writing and digital teaching accessible, easy and fun for everyone.
I'd be interested to hear what students, teachers and anyone else who uses digital note taking thinks of it. Feedback and suggestions are very much welcome!
