I find the current state of the art on stylus text entry so disappointing. I made a hacky prototype 7 years ago (!) and this kind of direct interaction remains a dream: https://youtu.be/So4x3Cu4WI0 I had a glimmer of hope when Apple started selling styluses, that they might succeed where Microsoft failed. But instead, they're putting mouse cursors on iPads, and the stylus is still a niche tool for artists.

I do -- the Mac has had that feature since forever (if you plugged in a tablet like a Wacom). A shame Apple doesn't seem to respect the Mac any more -- it's a great example of a use case that went from the Mac to the iPad. I prefer to take notes with a pen. The built in Notes app seems to think you write in a notebook the way you type into one: that each line contains one topic. But in fact when writing notes I tend…
I write in the notes app all the time and have none of the problems you describe. I assume that’s because I don’t use scribble, and I just write in my own handwriting.

Do you know about Scribble? It was new to iPadOS 14, and works everywhere you can write with the keyboard.

What people often forget is the importance of writing feel. I have a remarkable and its like night and day compared to writing on a regular tablet. Fortunately with the remarkable the kobo elipsa the onyx we are now seeing more and more devices aimed at note taking.

I’d expect 3km ÷ 26m to evaluate to roughly 115.4 (no unit). I hope it wouldn’t try to be too clever about whether “m” means metres or minutes, because such cleverness invariably goes wrong. Change it to “26min” or “26 minutes” or some such thing, please?

That's exactly what the iPad supports now. So not a dream anymore.
Faulty handwriting recognition causes data loss. Instead of relying on machine learning as a crutch, we should design systems and UIs that can do recognition, but don’t discard the original data.
