Please please add a feature to convert hand written notes to the same page. You offer to export the converted hand written notes to text, but you should allow to change the notes in the fly to the same page you converted. Please! Your note application will supersede all others with this feature!

    I guess a quick implementation would be, adding a button „Replace“ on the „convert to machine text“ page. This would replace the selection by the machine text

    Any update seems to be a killer feature missing

    Being able to convert handwriting to text in the notebook with a tap.

    Since you can convert handwritten text only by selecting it with the lasso tool, it'd be great if you can export the entire handwritten Document as a Text to PDF.

    According to customer support, this already happens when you export your document to PDF with the 'Enable Handwriting Recognition'-Option enabled, but the text is stored on a different layer of the PDF used for searching the handwritten as the handwritten Text is still displayed on the PDF.

    Can we take convert to text a step further by allowing the text to be added back to the notebook. Similar to how Noteshelf does it

    Take a look at My Script Nebo. The app itself is in most ways inferior to GoodNotes, but the new implementation of handwriting to text in the app really is superb. I believe that they licence it? Maybe explore licensing it off them, because its easily the best I’ve found at recognising handwriting. The actual implementation they have of it needs polish, but the raw handwriting recognition engine really is superb. Not having this is a big drawback for GoodNotes, because it means that text that you intend to edit later, for example writing a story or a novel, or any book for that matter, simply is not possible in GoodNotes. It is fine for notes, but not for any serious writing, because you can’t convert the handwriting to text. With the new IpadOS and IOS 13 operating systems this will become increasingly important, because the drop in pencil latency to 9ms (or actually 13 I believe, as 4ms of it isn’t accessible to non-apple apps currently) from 20ms, means that its going to be much nicer to use. GoodNotes is useless for long form writing, and yet, if it had the handwriting text converter of My Script Nebo, then it would become much more practical to write every day in GoodNotes, then convert the handwriting to text, and export it to a dedicated editor app like Ulysses or Scrivener. Please add this! My Script Nebo currently has the only implementation of handwriting to text that actually works without being annoying.

    Please add this function. The current solution is too much hassle and destroys the work flow.

    With my ugly handwriting this is so essential

    After I quickly note in a class, I would like to convert them to the text after, or when it is a short break. Ideally, I would like the typed text to replace the handwritten text.
    Can you add a button (next to Share button) for handwriting being replaced with the text?

    Noteshelf 2 does this beautifully.

    You write some text with the pen, use the lazo tool, select convert to text and then in the edit box you click the button to convert to text and it replaces your handwritten text with clean text.

    I'd love to use good note but without this feature the workaround is just to painful and ands too much friction

    YES PLEASE!!! This would be AMAZINGLY EPIC!!!

    Any Updates on this by the way? For it will be 3 years this June since the initial request was made!

    This has to happen ASAP for the Lasso tool is not an effective way at all to export a lot of text out of the app. (too time-consuming & tedious)

    Also, Nebo makes Good Notes 5 way of converting & exporting text look archaic!

    So there must be 3 options to export to text:

    1_ The whole notebook
    2_ Multiple pages
    3_ A single page

    + There must be a better way to efficiently check & correct words for conversion errors... (before exporting)

    —> Like in Nebo, by hovering over the handwriting, the text conversion pops up... Quickly showing the user if the conversion is correct.

    This feature would instantaneously elevate GoodNotes 5 above the rest... Making it a lot more useful & efficient!

    Thank You in Advance

    🙏🙇‍♂️🙏🙇‍♂️🙏🙇‍♂️

    If not automatically, then add a conversion option for selected handwritten text:

    Currently, selected handwriting can be: 1) exported to text for sending elsewhere, or 2) searched for.

    As an additional option for selected handwritten text, it'd be useful to have an option to convert it to a Text Box.

    Converting Handwriting to Letters is so unpleasent aat the moment.
    I very often need to convert my Handwriting:
    1.) select Lasso
    2.) Use the Lasso to select the hanwritig
    3. Convert to letters
    4. copy to clipboard
    5. erase the handwritten text
    6. instert the letters from clipboard

    The are too many steps !!!
    Please generate a button like "Replace", so I can replace the handwritten text with letters with just one tap.
    Thank you !
