I’m so extremely happy to announce this has been added today to Goodnotes 6!

Thanks development team.

I totally AGREE!!

Apple Notes converts handwriting to text automatically without a text box or lasso, copy, paste, erase B.S. and it’s free. Why doesn’t a $30 app not have this basic feature?

I see this as linked to having a fully fledged text editor where the converted handwriting goes directly to the paper itself not a text box that moves around the page. Vote for this:

I use goodnotes and Nebo in parallel. This is THE only feature missing to throw away Nebo and switch completely to Goodnotes. Since I habe a terrible handwriting, this is critical to me.

it will be super useful to , once selected the hand written, convert and replace the selected with the converted one

Hallo, ich schreibe Deutschen Text mit dem Stift direkt in die Textbox der dann umgewndelt wird in Maschinenschrift. Bei meinem Thailehrer geht das auch mit der Thaischrift, ich habs gesehen. Warum kann ich das nicht, ich habe alle Einstellungen ausprobiert? Vielen Dank für einen kleinen Tipp

GoodNotes is really a nice app. What I hate is hand written to Text implementation. I'd like something like Nebo(preview and replace words width suggestions). Hope to see this in GoodNotes!

Hi! I love the GoodNotes app
I would be happier if the it have Hebrew option to convert handwriting to text :)
Hope it will happens soon
Thank you!

It would be nice to have a setting to either Replace, or Add converted text to the page. Then you won't lose math equations.

Yes, this would be an amazing feature. Programmatically, it shouldn't be too difficult: The written text to remove is already selected. After converting the text, the program would just need to delete the selected writing, insert a text box at that location and paste in the converted text.

Yes, in particular I’d like the option to replace the selection (lassoed ares) with the converted text. One and done once I approve the conversion.

Need this!!

For me this is one of the only things missing from this app. Please prioritize this feature!

This! Even better, "improve" the handwriting, preserving the handwritten document feeling (especially useful for equations and other symbols and signs not easily reproducible as typewritten text)

Yes I'm also really bad missing this feature. I also tested Notabillity and there it is possible to convert hand written Text to text at the same document. Would be a great new feature and I also willing to pay for this extra.

Lots of other note apps do this already. This should be implemented this year. Also for convert to text for math equations and formulas. Also symbols

"If there could be a setting you turn on that auto converts to text and then deletes the handwriting" "convert handwriting to text in real time like Nebo or scribble. " "because the conversion process is quicker. When you are writing all day the extra messing around with cut and paste slows you down." add this and this already good app will be great!

Please would love this feature! If there could be a setting you turn on that auto converts to text and then deletes the handwriting. I’d love my notes to turn to text. Would also likely switch apps if another app provides it.

Very good and often required feature
