Summarize a long letter

Photograph the letter, Lumyeye Pro reads it in full then summarizes in 3 sentences: sender, main subject, dates, action required. Email yourself the summary to keep a written record.

Sample transcript and context

Mrs. Toure, 81, in a senior residence, has atrophic AMD. She lays each letter flat on her kitchen table, photographs it, and Lumyeye Pro produces a voice summary in three sentences: "This is a letter from the retirement office about the revaluation of your pension starting July 1, 2026. Increase of 2.4%, new monthly amount $1342, first payment July 9. No action required from you."

The app reads short letters as well as multi-page ones: insurance contracts, tax notices, medical reports, social security notifications, bank statements. It returns the sender, the main subject, the dates mentioned, attached items and any action deadline present in the document. For letters with important figures, Lumyeye Pro offers a second detailed reading number by number, slowly.

Privacy is total: Lumyeye keeps no letter on its servers and phone memory is limited to the last 20 actions, erased on app close. No long-term archive, no automatic filing, no scheduled deadline reminder. Lumyeye Pro reads and summarizes; you decide next.

Lumyeye Pro also reads legible handwritten letters (postcards, family letters). Available in English, French, Spanish and German for international mail. Email yourself the summary or send to a loved one: a written record consultable later on a computer. iPhone 16+, $16.99/month.

Frequently asked questions

Mail summary — your questions.

Does Lumyeye Pro read handwritten letters (postcards, family letters)?

Yes. The app decodes standard cursive writing with around 92% accuracy. For especially tough handwriting, photograph the letter from several angles: Lumyeye Pro combines the shots to improve reconstruction.

In which languages is the summary available?

Lumyeye Pro summarizes mail in the user's language (English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic). The app auto-detects the source document's language and offers a translation-summary in your language if needed.

Can I email the summary to keep a record?

Yes. Lumyeye Pro lets you email the summary to yourself or a loved one. The email lands in your inbox, consultable later on a computer. A simple way to keep a written record.

Do I need to create an account to test Lumyeye Pro?

No. Unlike Lumyeye Classic, Lumyeye Pro can be tested without creating an account. A voice onboarding at first launch introduces the features. Email is only requested at first payment, after the 40 free queries.

How do I trigger letter summarization?

Tap or double-tap anywhere on the screen in Lumyeye Pro to activate listening, then point the camera at the letter and say "Summarize this for me". OCR (read aloud) runs and the summary comes back in a natural warm voice.

Testimonial

Mrs. Toure, 81, Toulouse.

"I used to pile up my mail and wait for my son's weekly visit to sort it. Now I photograph each letter, Lumyeye Pro gives me a three-sentence summary in a warm voice. I know what's in there, when there's an action to take, and I email myself the summary. My son arrives, the pile is already sorted."

Practical tips

Get on top of your mail with Lumyeye Pro.

  1. Photograph flat on a contrasting surface. A dark table for white paper, a white table for colored paper. Better contrast = better OCR.
  2. Ask for a detailed re-read of figures. After the 3-sentence summary, ask "read the amounts again number by number".
  3. Email yourself the summary. Keep a written record consultable later on a computer.
  4. Send to a loved one if needed. If a deadline is critical (tax notice, medical letter), email the summary to a relative for backup.
  5. Don't expect automatic deadline reminders. Lumyeye Pro reads and summarizes. Schedule your own iOS reminders for action deadlines.
