While some devices can recognize simple equations, complex mathematical symbols, and notation (especially calculus or advanced math) usually require specialized software or manual editing afterward. A more reliable option for formulas might be a stylus with an app like MyScript Nebo or Microsoft OneNote, which can better handle math.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'>4HM: How good is the text conversion and how much work will it require from the instructors to go from handwritten to text?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'>4AD: Text conversion quality depends heavily on handwriting clarity and the complexity of the content. For general notes, conversion is usually fairly accurate but often requires proofreading and manual corrections, especially if instructors use a lot of specialized terms or shorthand. For math-heavy content, the amount of post-editing could be significant. It's often faster to use a tablet or touch screen with a specialized math app rather than relying on a smartpen for seamless conversion.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'>5HM: Does it require special paper or can they be used on a tablet or touch screen?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'>5AD: Some smartpens, like those from Livescribe, require special dot-printed paper to work, while others, like the Neo Smartpen, can write on regular paper and later sync the notes. If your goal is to work on a tablet or touchscreen, a stylus might be a better fit than a smartpen, as these allow for more flexibility and don't require special paper.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'>6HM: Do you have any recommendations for a Smartpen that would work for our needs?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'>6AD: If you're set on smartpens, you might want to look into the Neo Smartpen or the Livescribe Echo. These are two of the more reliable options for capturing handwritten notes and syncing them digitally. That said, for math-heavy notes, I recommend exploring digital note-taking apps with stylus input, like Microsoft OneNote (which supports handwriting and formula input with a stylus) or MyScript Nebo (which specializes in handwriting-to-text conversion, including math).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'>7HM: Is this even a possibility or am I wildly naive?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Roboto'>7AD: You’re not naive at all.
