Dear Goodnotes Team,

I would love to suggest introducing an optional Real-Time Handwriting-to-Font feature, similar to the functionality offered by Freenotes.

The idea is that users can write naturally with their Apple Pencil, while Goodnotes instantly transforms their handwriting into a font of their choice as they write. Ideally, users could choose from a selection of beautiful handwriting fonts, including the option to create or upload a font based on their own handwriting.

I believe this would be particularly beneficial from an accessibility perspective. People living with conditions such as fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, joint hypermobility and other chronic pain or mobility conditions can experience hand pain, stiffness, inflammation and fatigue, making handwriting difficult, inconsistent or physically exhausting.

This feature would allow people to continue writing naturally without having to worry about the neatness or readability of their handwriting. It could also benefit students, professionals and anyone who simply prefers their notes to have a more polished appearance.

Ideally, users could customise their chosen font, size and spacing, switch between their original handwriting and converted text, and enable or disable the feature whenever they wish.

I genuinely believe this could be much more than an aesthetic addition. It could be a meaningful accessibility feature that makes digital handwriting more inclusive, while giving Goodnotes another significant advantage over competing note-taking applications.

The idea is simple: Let users write naturally, and let Goodnotes transform their handwriting into something beautiful, without limiting how or what they write.

Thank you for considering my suggestion!
