[Athen] Handwriting recognition apps for iPhone

[Nettie Fischer]

Me again, ouch, the question is sticking in my brain.  Here goes try 2
I opened my PhatPad app which transcribes handwriting to text that can then
be share to via evernote, email pdf print tweet facebook and share via WiFi
(not sure what this one does.)

I wrote a short sentence, and after remembering how to transcribe to text,
sent it to my oops email - It transcribes each time you hit the enter key.
 You need to write a single work, then press and select the word, then drag
to capture the word at which time I increased the text box.  A line screen
appears at the bottom of the screen -this is your writing slate.  Each time
you tap the enter key, the text is transcribe to print.

Maybe this will work,
Nettie's nickel
