this is no longer a place of honour
Hello,
I like writing by hand sometimes. I know!
I have joint issues and some days typing is easiest, some days dictating is more manageable and others handwriting is easier. My problem(s), I know.
But what I really do object to is doing things twice. If I make handwritten notes on paper, which is my current system, if I need an electronic version I have to do one of the others as well to make it so. How shit is that?
So I want to handwrite onto a tablet and have this turn it into something akin to a Word Doc that I can spell/sense/check etc.
I have an iPad - hate their Pencil and find it awkward to use. Suggestions about better styluses and screen protectors are welcome.
I also have a Samsung S6 Lite tablet. I like their S-Pen and find it much easier to use than an Apple Pencil for some reason.
SO - software - the current notes apps are not great. If possible I would like something that learns my handwriting style - is that a thing? In the same way that Google's voice recognition learns my voice/accent.
AND if the software is Apple only, better, easier to hold apple compatible pencil type devices would be good.
OR, am I looking at going for summat like a Remarkable e-ink thing? I have no idea how good handwriting recognition is on such devices.
