Auto-refine Handwriting
I’d like to suggest that GoodNotes add an auto-refine or handwriting smoothing feature that subtly corrects small imperfections in handwriting without changing the user’s natural writing style.
Currently, when writing with the Apple Pencil using the ballpoint pen, I’ve noticed that the strokes sometimes add unwanted flicks or extra lines at the end of letters, which makes the handwriting look less clean and natural, this is extremely irratating as on other app my handwriting doesnt appear to be like that. Even with the stability setting at zero, it still happens, and it disrupts the flow of writing, especially for users who write quickly or use cursive.
An auto-refine option (or an improved stabilization engine) could help automatically clean up these flicks and overlines while keeping the handwriting authentic and responsive.
It would be great if this feature could be adjustable, so users could choose how much correction or refinement is applied depending on their writing style.

Can an Auto Refine Handwriting feature similar to the feature in Apple Notes be added. This would be helpful especially since handwriting digital note can be less clean and have clean handwriting is difficult when writing fast especilaly during lectures.

Apple Notes does it! It is a shame that exporting on there is a pain in the …

I wanted to suggest the same thing!I was thinking of a tool that automatically switches your handwriting for the system’s handwriting style.

I really appreciate the rich feature set and overall experience that GoodNotes offers. It is a powerful and well-designed app.
However, one major reason that prevents me from fully adopting GoodNotes as my primary note-taking tool is the lack of automatic handwriting refinement similar to what Apple Notes provides. The auto-refine handwriting experience in Apple Notes feels more natural and significantly improves readability while writing with the Apple Pencil.
If GoodNotes were to introduce a comparable auto-refine handwriting feature, it would greatly enhance the writing experience and would strongly encourage users like me to rely on GoodNotes as the main note-taking app.

Sometimes I try to spell everything wrong just so I can get handwriting that’s neat but looks like mine!

This already works very well when there is a spelling mistake, just need to expand the ability for all handwriting.

This is a must. The Apple Freeform app does a great job at this. If only it worked in Goodnotes 😔

I'd love if this was added, Apple notes has this feature and it has made me consider switching over. It's so much easier than using text boxes to have nicer writing in your notes. I also like that it still looks like my handwriting, just nicer, not a font. I enjoy reading my notes in my own handwriting instead of fonts because it's less like I'm reading a long essay.

This would be a game changer-I’m considering switching to apple notes fully because it smoothes so well and automatically-no clunky convert menu. Which is another think that good notes lacks- a quick convert to text option. Notability has this down.

Yes! I just tried this in Apple Notes and it's an absolute revelation, an enormous time saver.

This is of the essence. If this feature worked in GoodNotes as it does in Apple Notes, I would save hours every week. PLEASE make this happen ASAP.

I think it would be a great addition to include an option for automatic handwriting refinement, similar to the feature in Apple Notes. You can see how it works in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ciw74AVIUpY

Apple Notes has a neat feature which organically refines your handwriting. This could be a really great feature to ensure handwriting looks appealing. I believe this could be easily implemented to ensure all writing looks writing!

Please provide support for the Auto-Refine Handwriting feature that is currently available in Apple's native Notes app.

exact idea. I found that there is a function that check the typo with red dot line and if I click it, it corrects the typo with a nice handwriting format. I love this feature. I came across idea that it would be great if my ugly handwriting is to be replaced by a nice handwriting feature if I click it. Please add this functionality to GoodNote 6.
