[Athen] Converting handwriting to text

[Debbie Krahmer]

Seconding Nebo--MyScript's been at the handwriting-to-machine-readable-text
for decades, and they're really good, but it costs. (Minimum $300 for an
iPad, $100 for an iPencil, and $15 for the app. Or you need an android
tablet with an active stylus.)

It only works for materials written in Nebo, as well. Same with Notes
Plus--it does handwriting recognition, but only for text written in the
Notes Plus app ($7, it also uses the MyScript engine, but doesn't require
an active stylus). Many notes apps will do handwriting to text, but only
within the app and it can be hit-or-miss, like with the Google Handwriting
Input app.

I don't know of an app that'll take existing handwritten materials and
translate them to machine-readable.

Thanks,
D.
