I extremely rarely use paper and when I do I feel terribly unhappy. I suppose this app is not for me lol.
Fair point :)

Re: Scribble – Convert handwriting into digital text
#62Can you elaborate on how does it improve on traditional OCR? Other than that, pretty neat that it keeps (or even improves) on the existing formatting on the note.
Definitely thanks for asking!
Traditional OCRs are good at transcribing typed notes (e.g. pdfs) to editable docs, but do poorly with handwriting. The best OCRs I've seen can make a handwritten note searchable (e.g. Evernote) but still don't transcribe it editable form.
A lot of academic work on transcribing images of handwritten notes into text has surfaced over the last couple of years (mostly regarding using neural networks), and we decided to apply it

Or a service that sends you a box where you could use your records, send it to them to digitalize.
There are a bunch of services that do this and return OCR'd documents and images, perhaps it could be interesting to partner with one of them? I assume they're already paying for OCR licenses.
Thank you! That's a great suggestion

>European numbers vs American numbers (the 1 especially)? Honestly I think 9 will be the bigger issue, to my eyes the European version is near identical to lower-case G.
You mean q? Because g has that loop at the end.
No, I mean G precisely because it has that loop at the bottom. I see it near universally in Poland, and 100% in Germany but with a terribly small sample size.
