Totally worth $0.99! The other reviewers are correct about bugs with the photo library and there being no easy way to share the text BUT I use reporter’s notebooks to take notes and my handwriting is not good. This app recognized the text even when the writing went across the lines on the page. The thing is you have to copy and paste the text. It’s not super convenient and may not win any design awards for usability but it’s worth more than $0.99 to be able to take my penciled scratchings that even I have trouble reading sometimes and get usable text. I had to give it 4 stars just because the competition is just horrible. The only thing that comes close requires you to do in-app purchases AND did not recognize the text as well as this one. Great purchase.

This application is among the best of the handwriting OCR apps and it’s also very fast compared to many of the others. Finally, it stores the results for you. I tried a few apps which want to charge you money every week and I did not find them to be any better than this. A word of warning, with any of these apps, there’s no substitute for writing legibly. Also, it seems to be a general rule that cursive is not recognized as consistently as printed text, but it does recognize it.

Been trying out different handwriting ocr this morning, and this one is so far the best. The upload is simple, the text for a B6 page of notes took only a few seconds. My handwriting is pretty bad and I could still roughly make sense what was written from the conversed version.Hope the developer will continue to upgrade!

Wasted time testing “free” apps with in-purchase features blocked ability to fully test the app. Turned those features were all here for just $0.99. This app works fast, and read my handwriting better than I could read my own handwriting. I converted 35 pages of handwritten notes in minutes compared to hours wasted on other “free” apps.
