A waste of time

The free app is completely worthless. Unless you are willing to pay you can't export your text. Should be a price up front to save wasting time.

Response from developer

Premium upgrade is required in order to export your text, but you can try out the handwriting recognition for free. The main objective is to allow you to try out the app and see its value before paying for it. We believe it is the decent thing to do.

Suggestion

I love the concept. And it does work well, as long as your handwriting is neat. But my handwriting is pretty messy. I know this, and I knew it probably wouldn’t work that well, so I wrote it out again, neater, but it still didn’t really read it that well. I think that there should be a way for the app to ask you to write the alphabet and a few sentences so it can learn your handwriting and convert it better. Just a suggestion!

This is great

Makes it so easy - really good app

Junk

Managed to correctly identify about one or two words out of every twenty. Complete garbage. I can retune the entire 21 page document in 1/100th of the time it takes to edit and correct these scans

Response from developer

Sorry you feel this way. The quality of the handwriting recognition relates directly to the quality of your scan. Please contact our support at contact+ios@serendi.me and we'll be happy to provide instructions and tips for best usage of the app.

Amazing!

Pen to Print is the app I’ve always wanted it makes work fast and easy, and does a great job at reading my handwriting! I highly recommend getting it!

I like it very much and it will help with misspelling too.

Cursive it Tries work better with regular writing best with block letters. All is simple to fix and faster then typing it in. Photo scan, line up some lines, take the photo, check and edit the lines if needed. Hit next and it goes to text.

RIDICULOUS APP !

It did an OK job of handwriting recognition but in their haste to extract payment for exporting text, they fail to fully explain how to do this, which resulted in my losing the text which I had taken time to edit. Not impressed - maybe before rushing to get payment the app designer should consider a more informative user platform ensuring that work is not lost !

Amazing

I just came across this program as every so often over the years I look to see if anyone has accomplished the miracle of scanning human handwriting and converting it to a digital printed text that may be manipulated and saved. Nothing and I mean nothing has worked for me until now. I used it via camera selection and scanned in my wife’s pretty terrible handwriting- about 5 lines of a note she left for me. It was scanned in and broken down into pieces of text and then printed - 100% accurate including punctuation. Amazing.

I just noticed a bunch of negative reviews after I write this. My guess is that earlier versions did not work but this one as of December 2018 really does and it is very exciting been looking for this for years. I need to take inventory of guitars in stock with handwritten brief descriptions. Never found anything that could digitalize bandwriting at all. This does it very well often perfectly. Obviously legible handwriting and dark pen will help. Looking forward to the future changes as this gets even better.

Great app. Needs some updating

Does great recognizing my handwriting. Needs to updating. Like you should be able to name your text files you make and you should be able to edit them or copy/paste them to combine them. That would be way better to turn multiple
Picture files into one large text file.

Not perfect, but does work as intended

It doesn’t get a good bit of the words in hand written notes correct, but honestly its better than typing everything out. It’s better with pictures of projected notes. Regardless, it works with my college needs, and it’s cheap. Ten bucks for a lifetime of using it. Honestly, you get more than what you pay for. Even if it’s not perfect, I’ll be using it often over then next four years.
