These are the results I got from scanning a handwritten document with several different software tools.
To run this test I wrote a single page of notes. I used my Amazon Fire Max 11 with the Amazon Stylus Pen in the Squid app. I pulled the excerpt from the book Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. This is a book that’s in the public domain and available on the Project Gutenberg website.
Here’s the written page.
Here are the translations I got from different pieces of software.
Note that a lot of these translations aren’t very good, in that you wouldn’t want to post them as-is. But, they are probably good enough for making your text stand out. Thanks to the Rocketbook app for proving this to me. That app converts written words to text, but smartly, doesn’t show you that text. It just uses it for search results.
Alice In Wonderland
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or

So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid ), whether the pleasure of making a daisy chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with Pink eyes ran close by her.
