Hello folks, Im currently using onenote for writing notes using apple pencil.
Im just wondering if there is a better alternative out there?
Perhaps something which can transcribe from handwriting to characters?

Nebo is well worth a look all it does is convert handwriting to typed text & also Goodnotes 5 is more of a notebook type app but it recognises handwriting as well.

Hope this helps?

Cheers all

Nebo is I excellent. I use it to write my books on before exporting the text to Scrivener. The text transcription has improved massively over the past year so it’s rare a word gets transcribed incorrectly. Highly recommended.

I use GoodNotes 5 in conjunction with an Apple Pencil. It does a really good job of converting my rubbish handwriting into usable text.

I like the look of Good Notes, do you use it in conjunction with the Mac app too?

Have you had any issues or problems with the iOS app?

Shame there isn't a free version with in-app upgrade to try it out.

No, I don't use the Mac app. I can't remember having any problems with the iOS app, it works really well.
