How do I convert my handwriting to text in GoodNotes?

Converting handwritten notes to text in GoodNotes is a simple process that can greatly enhance the usability and accessibility of your notes. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

1. Write Your Notes: Begin by writing your notes in GoodNotes using a stylus or your finger.

2. Select the Lasso Tool: Tap on the lasso tool, which can be found in the toolbar. The lasso tool allows you to select specific areas of your handwritten notes.

3. Select Your Handwriting: Use the lasso tool to circle the handwritten text you want to convert. Make sure all the handwriting you wish to convert is within the selected area.

4. Convert to Text: After you've selected the text, tap on the selected area to bring up a context menu. Choose the Convert option. GoodNotes will convert the handwriting to text and display a preview.

5. Edit and Copy Text: If everything looks good, you can choose to Copy, which places the converted text onto your clipboard. You can then paste this text anywhere within the app, in other document editing apps, or even into an email.

6. Apply Text to Document: Some versions of GoodNotes allow you to directly apply the converted text back onto your page, replacing the handwriting.

If you need to convert handwriting from other sources, such as PDF files or images, HandwritingOCR is a powerful tool that can help. Simply upload your PDF or image to HandwritingOCR, and the platform will convert the handwritten content into digital text for you.

Benefits of Using GoodNotes for Handwriting Conversion

• Accuracy: GoodNotes provides reasonably accurate conversion for handwritten text, especially for neat handwriting.
