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.

The AI lasso tool is used to spellcheck any words you may have misspelled, but what if it could improve your handwriting. I’ve found that as I write, there are a lot of inconsistencies in my handwriting. If you could add a baseline for each character (number/letters) and lasso over any words to improve the quality of handwriting that would be so cool.

A feature that automatically makes your handwriting look neater and smoother

Apple is launching Smart Script. This feature should be on top of the list

I would love if Goodnotes could implement a feature to neaten handwriting so that the handwriting would be inline, look neat and you could edit, erase and move individual words normally which you cannot do easily when converting handwriting to text.

It would be optimal to have AI handwriting features and AI typing features on Android.

Yeees please! It could at least make all the letters at the same height!

Hi, yes please, I think it would be so much better for people that use Goodnotes day by day for study or work.

An AI model integrated within GoodNotes that enhances and refines users' handwriting in real-time, aligning it with their unique personal writing style as they write with the Apple Pencil.
-Advantage: This would make handwritten notes look cleaner and more consistent, improving readability while retaining the user's individual writing characteristics. -

I have ugly handwriting and notice that the autocorrect in Goodnotes have extremely nice handwriting, is it possible to have a feature to auto correct our every word to the goodnotes "autocorrect suggestion" handwriting.

Correct my bad hand-writing as I write (much like my bad lines and circles are corrected in-place into straight lines and Giotto's perfect circles).
This feature could be switchable, so I can toggle it ON when I lecture and toggle it OFF when I write my personal annotations.

Yes, I agree. The beta version does not seem to accurately follow my handwriting unlike when I am using samsung notes.

When I write a letter or word, the word should be slightly neatened or smoothed up. The 's' should be curvier for example, without taking away from the look of the handwriting. One should have an option to determine how aggressive this smoothing is.

There should be an option to straighten handwriting, like the one in Apple Notes.

So much could be improved by removing the lowest 10% of pressured input ( based on average per stroke)

I was just messing with the latest one note from Microsoft and they really nailed the line smoothing, weighting and response time from the pencil.

I've seen a lot of requests to enable in line replacing of handwriting with text. This would be a killer feature and would make the app even more fantastic. It would be awesome if this function could (also) be used to make handwritten notes clearer.
Microsoft Whiteboard on Surface already uses this 'magic wand' function:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V2F0mKVfp7kKey is that the algorithm replaces the handwriting with legible text using the same color, comparable size and a suitable font.
This feature works great to make handwritten notes better suitable for sharing with other people.
Thanks for reading and keep up the good work!

With this feature, writing would be smoother and neater. Right now it's a little choppy.

Please introduce a streamline feature like on ProCreat to help standardise and neaten messy handwriting :)

The handwriting seems like neat, like auto modifying?I’d like a more smooth handwriting style, I write, and GoodNotes just show what I write, instead of modifying it at first.
