Supernote's handwriting recognition feature is an efficiency and productivity booster. It lets you focus on writing your thoughts without the need to worry about retyping them for reviewing or sharing later.

Create a real-time recognition note

• Tap New Note in the sidebar menu.
• Select Real-Time Recognition as the type of the new note you are creating.
• If needed, switch to a different handwriting recognition language by tapping the underlined language.(It cannot be changed after the real-time recognition note is created.)
• Write words and the system will recognize them in the background concurrently. 

View recognition results

• Tap to view the Recognition Results. 
• If you are not satisfied with the recognition accuracy, tap the Re-recognize button.

Note:  In standard notes, you can also tap the Export icon on the toolbar and select TXT or DOCX to have them recognized and exported. 

Handwriting recognition in Word

The handwriting recognition feature was initially only available in Word documents. It's easy to use with good recognition accuracy and speed. For users who believe the pen is mightier than the keyboard, it comes really handy and delivers a solid writing experience.
