Get Rid of the Carriage Returns on Converted Text
I like to convert hand written notes to text for transfer to Word etc. having to deal with the carriage returns your converter puts in is a pain. It would be much better if the conversion just used word-wrap and let us deal the the txt box shape.

I have the same complaint. You doit have to guess whether the text is formatted or not, Just allow toggling orspecially requesting paragraph formatting

Yes! Manually collapsing my carriage-returns is very tedious.
I see Mark's comment about the problems of getting it wrong and messing up manual layout. I suggest that when converting handwriting to text, insert an extra carriage return when there is a blank line between chunks of text (since we can use blank lines to separate paragraphs), and then provide a "collapse newlines" button on the post-conversion pane (with an Undo of course). If there is no selection, collapse the entire text, and if some text has been selected then only collapse the selection.

This suggestion would only work well for continuous text. If a user makes lists or tables, this feature would destroy the manual layout. There would have to be some smart guessing whether returns should be removed or not at the end of individual lines.

Yes please! I have to use Nebo for notes that will be converted, it’s a massive pain.
