Before & after update

Wow! Much easier to super quickly use and export. I’m writing up a book from my written journals on paper. So getting pen to paper has helped me tremendously rather than typing every single word up I quickly take a pic and Gmail it to myself and boom! I’ve saved myself hours of work!!

Amazing

I find this really helpful when my friends send me thier notes and I can’t quite figure out what it says, so I put it through pen to print and it turns that nonsense gibberish into actual words!

Time & life saver

It’s easier for me to get into the flow writing on paper…but the tricky part is eventually having to type it all up online. I’ve been really busy recently so this was DEFINITELY a massive life and time saver! The app easily recognized my handwriting with almost no mistakes. I was very surprised because it is very sloppy, and very happy to find an app that finally works! So grateful to have come across this.

Great app, very helpful!

I’m in healthcare and notes are a pain, I have to put them in computer twice and on paper. This app allows me to jot down on paper with patient and then quickly transfer onto computer without having to retype.

A little bit expensive

Would have buy it for 5$ cause I don't always have written text to convert! But I found a better system, since the product is not reliable a 100%. All you have to do is to read aloud your written texts with any speech to text app online or included in your OS and it will write it for you. Any OS now include the speech to text option: just press the microphone icon on your screen keyboards and talk...The result is up to 98.5%!!!

It really works!

So long typing away!!! Snap a photo and get your text.

Pen to Print Review

I am very impressed. The software reads my fountain pen written script, (a poor example of cursive writing) & gets it about 90% correct.
I have built a support system for my iPad & the large notebook that I have written in, to give consistency & stability. This improved the accuracy from about 70% (handheld) to 90%. The 10% inaccuracy is due mainly to the loops on my letters of q,y,p,f,g,j etc crossing over text on the line below. Had I have used double spacing the accuracy would be about 95%+ I suspect. The software definitely has a problem with my & symbol. The software also struggles with punctuation marks like !, ? Etc. All in all I am very impressed. An excellent product & much better than several other apps that I tried but didn’t like their output. I am very happy with my purchase of this app.
Thank you

Amazing accuracy

This is the only OCR I've been able to find which recognises my handwriting - it's probably about 98% accurate in my experience, so you will still need to review the exported text afterwards, but it's a huge time saver compared to rewriting everything!

I was excited about this app, but it’s super clunky and lost my work

I am not happy. Much of this seems great until I have to
Tap
And tap and fiddle before I can land the curser where it needs to be. And then, even though I specifically added several pages using the multi page button, all I ended up with was the last page. The other four that I’d had to spend a LOT of time editing were GONE!!! Also I want to be able to do things like underline.

Simple, Accurate, Powerful

Extremely impressed by Pen-to-Print.

Accurately converted pencil ‘field’ notes taken in fairly adverse conditions into data blocks that were inserted directly into Excel. Interface is intuitive and allows simple checking and corrections to be made to final text/data before exporting.

Excellent app support.

Highly recommended.
