# SketchScript

> AI-generated sketchnotes backed by cognitive science. Visual notes that work with your brain, not against it.

SketchScript transforms meeting transcripts, YouTube videos, podcasts, and lectures into hand-drawn visual sketchnotes in under two minutes. The tool combines AI analysis with image generation to create authentic sketchnotes grounded in dual coding theory — information presented both verbally and visually delivers significantly better recall.

## How It Works

1. **Analyse** — Extract themes, key concepts, and visual metaphors from your content
2. **Design** — Create layouts with containers, hand-lettered typography, and sketchnote conventions
3. **Generate** — Produce high-resolution sketchnote output
4. **Refine** — Optional adjustments to the result

## The Science

SketchScript is built on established cognitive science research:

- **Dual Coding Theory** (Paivio, 1971): Two independent memory channels — verbal and visual — working together improve retention
- **The Drawing Effect** (Wammes et al., 2016): Visual encoding produces 45% retention vs 20% for text-only
- **Neurodiversity Benefits:** Supports ADHD, dyslexia, and autism spectrum processing styles

## Who It's For

- Remote teams wanting shareable visual meeting summaries
- Visual thinkers and sketchnote enthusiasts
- L&D teams creating training materials
- Content consumers processing YouTube, podcasts, and lectures
- Neurodiverse professionals
