RootsTech 2026: Scribe AI
Big announcements regularly occur during RootsTech. MyHeritage has launched "Scribe AI":
RootsTech is finally here, and we're kicking it off with our first big announcement! I’m excited to introduce Scribe AI, a powerful new feature from MyHeritage that uses AI technology to transcribe, translate, and interpret historical documents and photos — helping people better understand and preserve their family history.
Old family letters, records, and photos often contain valuable information, but handwriting can be difficult to decipher, languages may be unfamiliar, and images may lack context. Scribe AI overcomes these challenges by revealing important insights, providing historical background, and suggesting next steps for further research.
Caution is advised! This feature is highly addictive and genealogists we’ve given early access to this feature have become hooked! It would be fair to say that Scribe AI is one of the most important genealogical features we’ve added to MyHeritage in the past few years.
Anyone can use Scribe AI for free on a limited number of images at myheritage.com/scribe-ai, with extended use available to subscribers.
