The process, step by step
- 1Capture handwriting directly with Draw or photograph the page with Scan.
- 2Review names, formulas, dates, and subject-specific terms.
- 3Correct recognition errors before summarization.
- 4Group only notes that belong to the same topic.
- 5Generate the summary and compare it with the source.
Recognition errors become summary errors
A fluent summary can hide a bad input. Check the recognized note first, especially for vocabulary that a general recognizer may not expect.
Keep the original in the loop
Use the summary as a revision aid, not a replacement for the source. Return to the handwritten page when a point looks incomplete or unexpectedly certain.
