Converting handwritten notes to digital text on a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 can be an efficient way to digitize your notes for better organization and searchability. Here are several methods to achieve this conversion:

Using Built-in Features

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 comes with a built-in app called S Note, which is useful for converting handwriting to text:

Using Third-Party Apps

If you need more advanced features or the built-in app doesn’t meet your requirements, you can opt for third-party apps. Some popular options include:

  • Google Keep: Capture your handwritten notes using the ‘drawing’ feature, then use Google Keep's handwriting recognition to convert the handwriting to text.
  • Microsoft OneNote: Draw or write using the inking feature, then use the 'Ink to Text' function to convert it.
  • MyScript Nebo: Specially designed for handwriting recognition and converting handwritten notes to digital text.

Converting Handwriting in PDFs or Images
