PenToPRINT Handwriting to Text Reviews

by Homer2112!

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.

Terrible job converting handwritten list to typed text. Most of the typed version was so nonsensical I couldn’t figure out what I wrote. I went back and eventually figured out how to edit each line. Don’t bother with all this work like I did, folks, because there’s no way at all to save all the edited text. I knew from reviews that you couldn’t export or save a document without paying for the premium, but considering the fact that you cannot edit and save your edits means that, based on the free version, I’d advise you to stay away from the paid version.

Do not waste your time with taking a picture and then editing this only to realize after you’ve done it that it won’t let you export it unless you pay which is the only reason I downloaded it, to send myself the reports that I didn’t want to type. I figured it would have at least gives like a trail where you could send yourself a few to see if it was worth paying for but it doesn’t. Will be deleting. It was too good to be true anyways.

First off, you have to pay to use any of the export features on PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText , aka, you have to pay to even use it. It worked horribly and it seemed as though the entire page of notes was completely messed up. After spending about 10 minutes fixing them, I received a message that I would have to spend my money on my one page notes! I am entirely disappointed in PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText and would advise and students, teachers, and others alike to not waste their time with it.

I DL’d 2 OCR apps to try them out. To my surprise, the apps made their own folder & hijacked IOS functions preventing me from rearranging, moving the folder or deleting the folder or app. Also upon touch & holding icon to move it, the ONLY choice PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText has is to share it. Sounds like a visit ehh? I returned to home page by pressing the home button. Then tried holding touch on another folder to activate change mode. The “Business” folder “X” delete link was ABSENT. Behaves like a virus ehh. Finally was able to go into app/folder modify mode & opened the folder PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText created for itself & deleted all the misbehaving apps. Will check notifications page & others to make sure this wasn’t a malignant app leaving bits of itself to allow hackers access to my personal data.

To people with excellent handwriting, this is perhaps a viable option. My handwriting is well legible enough for most people to read without much difficulty , though is certainly not as neat as it could be!
PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText is not a viable enough option for me currently however because my keyboarding speed (70wpm) exceeds the amount of time that it takes me to try and correct all the perceived errors from PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText. PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText gives me an error about 50% of the lines. Thus, it is more efficient for me at this moment to simply transcribe by typing myself than to simply edit myself. For others, this ratio could easily be different!

With a bit more tweaking, I can see PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText becoming a great option for myself. Keep going!

Here’s my complaint: PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText does what it says it will do, however, you cannot get the text out of PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText . So you can’t use it anywhere. It won’t let you copy and paste or export the converted text in any way… unless you pay for that privilege. So the free version is useless. I moved on to another app (Handwriting to Text Recognizer) that works almost as well and lets you actually use your own words.

While it does what it says it will, that is all. If you took a photo and are working on edits to the text but navigate from PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText you lose your work - no auto save function. You pay monthly but I can’t figure out why - there don’t appear to be any improvements in the months I’ve had it. The recognition is ok. I know my handwriting isn’t the clearest but sometimes PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText just suggests the weirdest letters for thing that look pretty clear to me. It’s saving me time in the long run to convert some physical docs into word docs.

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 PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText to ask you to write the alphabet and a few sentences so it can learn your handwriting and convert it better. Just a suggestion!

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.

PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText is great for those of us that refuse to throw out our pencils and pens. It's just easier and quicker most of the time. But this thing converts so fast and do accurately is amazing. Line by line edit is automatic and it's necessary. PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText makes a few errors per page and my handwriting is pretty bad. I'm just too cheap to buy app... Or any app. But if you need fast way to convert notes from meetings or classes, give it a test run.

I am considering taking my daily journal writing back to notebook and pen. But I'd like to be able to have a searchable digital version, so I decided to try PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText.

On my brief test, it worked very well. It worked best when I scanned the page from my journal with a separate app, then used the photo input on PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText. The prices for premium do not seem at all excessive for this ability.

I think I'm good to go with my notebook and pen + digital journaling plan.

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.

PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText works very well. The OCR handwriting is pretty accurate, although some editorial work is usually required. Since PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText - which I think was originally designed for the iPad - will now run under Ventura on the Macbook it is even more useful. However, the automation tools don't seem to be supported by PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText, so doing lots of pages of text is still a manual process. If the developer is reading this, please consider upgrading the fine tool to be compatable with Macbook automation.

Although not perfect, I really like PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText! I used it to scan some of my school notes and it did a pretty good job. Some papers I had to scan a few times in different angles until it got it right. I think the quality of the scan really affects the outcome so if you’re scanning and don’t get good results, just try scanning again.

I really wish I would have found this earlier this year! I prefer to hand write my therapy notes, but then it was taking twice as long for me to complete my work because I had to type it into our billing system. Im going to purchase it so I can export my notes. I’m excited to try this in the fall!

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.

For giggles I went to Google to see if there was an app that if I hand write notes I could take a picture and have it converted to text formate and I saw PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText and figured I’d try it out! And OMG it’s perfect! I’m planning a trip and it’s so east to use my phone to look things up and write my note on paper but then I wanted to share my note with my friends and was dreading typing everything I wrote down and PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText saved me so much time and energy! So much so that after my first screenshot of notes it worked so well that I stopped my trip planning to write a review and I rarely write reviews unless something is above and beyond expectations and this is that time!!!! Definitely give PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText a try!!!

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! PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText 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.

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

by Laurel Canyon1

HOW does this not have more fans?? This is seriously amazing!! It just captures all the handwritten lines perfect into text. I think there was one mistake, and that was due to my handwriting. I am definitely going to upgrade, and I hope PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText gets a bigger following bc I never want to lose it!

by BulletproofPepper

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.

When I saw what PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText was supposed to be able to do, I was skeptical. But it is amazing! I am a teacher and I am going to recommend it to all my students. It is very helpful for organizing handwritten notes in one place in a legible format! I will be using PenToPRINTHandwritingtoText every day!
