8 of 25It's always cool to see a new version get released! Think of handwriting as being performed by Apple Pencil and you might redesign the size and placement of controls. Handwriting recognition is still lacking in interpretation accuracy and quality. This review was hand-written without any correction on another handwriting keyboard. Here is the same review with the WritePad handwriting keyboard: 1'7'S always cool FO Seca nee version oje-] released! ln.t'nk of hanburiftn9 as being Performed Bt Addle Pencil and You might Erde5.gh the Size and placement of eonfrols.

The best part ever I can write and type at the same time 😁
I like the app and it recognizes my handwriting well enough. I wish it had audio recording likeSoundPaper does. But the don't have handwiting. Wish I could combine the two. UPDATE: The iOS keyboard is terrible. It won't give me a capital letter or add spaces between words. Seldom accurate.
Nice app, just wish there was an ability to create different notebooks
It doesn’t work.
I was hoping it would be at least as good as my Newton 2100 (which still works!) in my iPad Pro. No such luck. Part of the problem is that the Apple Pencil / iPad pro interface needs more friction for effective writing (it’s very easy to add extra “serifs” on characters with the pencil sliding around so much). One disappointment is how bad the spelling recognition is. When the translation is wrong, I’d expect something that is a real word, not a random collection of characters that look like line noise. Oh well, maybe future versions will improve; maybe its learning capabilities will make things better (though I’m not sure I’m willing to go through the pain and effort to train this program considering how bad it starts off).
CRASH, CRASH, CRASH!! Wish I could say more, but that is as far as I have got with the app. Update 2 months later - none! It still just crashes.
I really find useful I wish you made it for surface pro surfers book
