Screenshot to calendar app vs typing events by hand
Short answer: typing an event by hand means switching between the message and your calendar and retyping the title, date, time and place. A screenshot-to-calendar app like Yotei reads the event from your screen, shows you what it found, and adds it after you confirm.

Where typing by hand is fine
- One event a month.
- Events that are short and already in your head.
Where an app pays off
- Events that arrive as screenshots, chat messages, PDFs or emails.
- Conference agendas, class schedules and travel bookings with many details.
- Teams that add events from many sources every week.
What Yotei does and does not do
- It reads only the area you select. It does not watch your screen in the background.
- Nothing is added to your calendar until you confirm.
- The AI proposes details and you decide.
Is the time saving real?
Yotei's own estimate is about 1.5 hours a month for one person. That is our figure from typical use, not an independent test, so treat it as a rough guide.
