Recognize Handwriting in Pocket Orbit

Recognition converts captured handwriting into text the app can use for organization and summaries. Treat the output as a draft.

What affects recognition

Legibility, language, abbreviations, specialist vocabulary, symbols, contrast, shadows, and camera angle can all affect the result.

  • + Review names, numbers, formulas, and dates first.
  • + Retake a poor scan before making extensive corrections.
  • + Use the original note when the recognized meaning is uncertain.
