Tips for Better Conversion

• Clear Handwriting: Ensure your handwriting is as clear and legible as possible to improve the accuracy of the conversion.
• Use Grid Lines: Writing on grid lines or ruled lines can help maintain better writing alignment, aiding more accurate conversion.
• Apple Pencil: Using an Apple Pencil can result in neater handwriting compared to using your finger, leading to better conversion results.

Additionally, if you need to convert handwriting from PDFs or images to text, you can use a specialized tool like HandwritingOCR, available at HandwritingOCR.

By following these steps, you can effectively convert your handwritten notes into digital text, making it easier to search, edit, and share your information.
