Recently, Nyaw and I have been tweeting and posting a lot about Scribeit. Why? Well, because it’s our big project after the free (and forever free) iPhone app that we released before, which is AnywhereBingo. Actually, Scribeit is not THAT BIG in terms of features. It is simple and it focuses on just one thing: Texts.
Brief History:
One day, I was manipulating my photos using some available iPhone apps like PS Mobile and Shakeit Photo. I thought, isn’t it cool to add texts as well? Yes, just like those emo images we always see in Tumblr. And sometimes, I want to add a signature somewhere in the pic before uploading. Isn’t that cool?
But there’s no available app that can do that. Most apps use some sort of comic bubble or cloud, some use random cut-out letters (which I also thought about, before seeing that it’s already there), some have limited number of lines, or simply put, the available ones don’t give me full control on how and where my texts will be placed on my image. What I can do is use Pastebot to copy my pic from iPhone to Mac (without the hassle of email, although it’s also easy) and use either Picassa or Gimp to add the text (with any font, any size, any color) anywhere. Can I do this in iPhone alone?
So, Nyaw created Scribeit. ^^

Scribeit for iPhone enables you to create and design using texts. Since the iPhone is equipped with a camera, any fantastic moment is never missed, right? Adding texts to such photos can be useful as watermarks (ownership protection), captions (e.g., date and place), artistic creation (e.g., poetry, haiku, quotes), and many more. Moreover, the accurate and easy-to-use touch technology of the iPhone makes it very easy to use Scribeit to move around texts on a photo or canvas, resize the view, and manipulate text font styles, colors, sizes, and even transparency. In the future updates, we will add the ability to rotate the text and more text effects (shadow, text stroke, etc.).
This is one of my early Scribeit creations, when it was still so raw and under development. ^^ Now, I’m so happy that this pic is seen by many since it’s one of the screenshots submitted to the App Store. I have created lots of Scribed images already, most of them are uploaded in my 365 project in Facebook or in my Tumblr. It turns out, a lot of people likes the one with Bee (my hamster).
You can visit http://scribeit.tumblr.com for more details and for a complete guide on how to use it.
There is also an ongoing promo wherein 20 people can have Scribeit for FREE. The details are here.

Now, why Scribeit?
Because you’ll discover how cool texts are once again… when you use it. ^^
For those who want to join us in developing iPhone/iPad apps, just send me a message or something. 
Or if you have any app requests, perhaps we can do something about it. Thanks!
