Which app turns a photo of a school letter into calendar events?
Family Odyssey does. Take a photo of a school letter, a flyer or a timetable, and Beam, its AI helper, reads the dates on it. Beam lists what it found so you can untick anything wrong, then puts the events on the family calendar so everyone sees them. The free plan reads 5 photos a month, and Premium reads as many as you like.

More about it
What Beam can read
Beam reads school letters, flyers and timetables. A letter with several dates on it becomes several events, and you untick any you don’t want before they’re added.
The times stay right
When a flyer says 9:20, Beam keeps it at 9:20 where your family lives, even if you take the photo while you’re away from home.
What it costs
Family Odyssey is free to start, and the free plan reads 5 photos a month with Beam. Premium reads as many as you like and gives you more Beam messages.
Questions
Can I use a photo I already took?
Yes. Pick it from your photos instead of taking a new one.
Does Beam add events without asking me?
No. Beam shows you what it found first, and nothing goes on the calendar until you tap Add.
Is Family Odyssey free?
Yes. The calendar, lists, chores, recipes, memories and Beam are on the free plan. Premium adds more Beam messages and photo reads.
