I decided to look into Notes Plus because it gets a lot of raving reviews, and many people applaud their hand writing recognition in particular. The app facilitates editing of text in the process. These advanced editing options, combined with a predictive capacity that works really well for me, makes this app quite attractive for hand writing to text conversion.Įdit 24 February: I just discovered that this app also does bulk conversion of text – so you can fill a whole page, then convert everything. Lastly, another nice little feature is the ‘delete’ button to the right of the zoom box (see second screen shot) which, when held down, provides you three different options for how much you want to delete out what you have entered in the box. If you press the tree dots at the top right hand corner of the zoom box, the app offers different suggestions for completing the entire sentence. One of the things I really like with this app is that it makes it easy to go back and change words your wrote before the current one just use the arrows at the bottom to navigate back and forth between the words you have already written.įinally, here’s an example of editing/selecting at the sentence level. You can then just tap on the selection you want, or alternatively tap ‘clear’ if you’d like to input the word again. Below you will see how, when you tap on one of the word suggestions, a range of other alternatives will come up: However, if you are not happy with the suggestions offered, 7NotesHD will offer you other alternatives to chose from, both at the word and sentence level. The app ‘learns’ how you write, so hand writing to text conversion becomes increasingly smoother over time. In this case, it has also suggested some options for further completing the sentence, based on my previous writing. In the zoom box below, you see the text I am currently entering, and the app’s suggestion for which words I have entered. You can also change the colour and thickness of the pen, insert spaces, and specify whether you are doing text input, numbers or special characters.Īt the top of the image, you will see the hand writing I have already entered and converted to text. The zoom box menu provides options for switching between hand writing only, hand writing to text conversation, or keyboard input. Here’s a screen shot of the handwriting conversation in action: I’m having much better luck with the app guessing what I’m trying to say, and 7NotesHD also comes with some sophisticated editing options. I don’t know if the app has had some updates or my hand writing has gotten better, but now I’m much happier with the conversation feature and I’ve been using it regularly over the past few weeks. When I first bought it over a year ago, I thought the hand writing prediction was pretty bad at interpreting my admittedly messy squabbles and mainly stayed with Notability (without text conversation) for hand writing, but now I’ve given this app another try. So, my first port of call was 7NotesHD Premium (you will need the premium version for the hand writing to text feature). In addition, in most cases it also becomes much easier to read – both for yourself (I sometimes find it hard to deconstruct what I have written), and for people you might share your notes with. Here, I’ll share my experiences of these apps with a focus on hand writing to text conversion.įirst, why convert your hand writing to text? The most obvious advantage is that your text becomes easily searchable. However, recently I revisited the other app I recommended in that post, 7NotesHD, and also looked in to Notes Plus and WritePad, to decide what to use for hand writing to text conversion, which Notability doesn’t provide. In my previous post on hand writing, I reviewed Notability which has been my primary app for hand writing on the iPad for some time.
