## Handwriting Keyboard Reviews in Vereinigte Staaten

### ****- "Auto Capitization"
I really like this Keyboard. Except For the fact that it capitalizes random words. Some lowercase and uppercase letters look the Same. I need this keyboard to be Faster than using the regular Keyboard for it to have been worth the money. It predicts words based on my crappy handwriting fine. So, I Feel like it should be able to not auto-cap with ease. I&#039;m using this Keyboard right now to write this Comment. To use this as an example of how it capitilizes random word.
-- Prettyfairreviewer, 2024-12-28

### **--- "disappointing"
The handwriting recognition is better than scribble. But the app itself is really really clunky. Buttons are overly big and in awkward positions. The pen line is comically big, and if you make it smaller it looks low resolution. In fact all the icons are low res, making the keyboard look terrible.

Some product and UX design would go a long way here.
-- tradiopen, 2024-06-11

### ***** "Excellent tool"
Just what I was looking for, and easy to use.
-- Unseen_Age, 2024-03-05

### ****- "Great Keyboard Great Keyboard with Few Glitches"
I have been using this keyboard for a couple years and am really loving it. The ways it handles partial input, correction, joining, erasing, and clearing text are excellent. The handwriting is very accurate smooth and enjoyable. The double row setting is great for inputting a continuous stream of text. The options for keyboard size, color, line width, in line input, gestures, auto enter, etc are great as well. There are only 3 minor things that I wish could be improved I wish the &quot;high&#039;&#039; resolution option was available in the advanced settings (minor issue), there is a small visual glitch when switching to the handwriting keyboard from other keyboards, and lastly, sometimes for no apparent reason, the keyboard freezes up, and can only be fixed by either completely disabling it or restarting my iPad. One feature that would be nice to see would be two finger pinch and zoom anywhere on the keyboard to change between floating and docked modes when two finger gestures are disabled in the settings. Nl and all an excellent keyboard that was well worth the money!
-- THMCMN, 2024-01-23

### ***** "I LOVE THIS APP!"
I finally found a replacement for Scribble! I just set it up and practiced a little, and it works like a charm! Well worth the U.S. $3.99 cost! 
AND it correctly recognizes CAPITAL LETTERS!
-- waterprise2, 2023-12-05

### ****- "This app is really good! However…"
Theres some issues that come whenever you do an asian language; i.e. Japanese, Chinese where the kanji/kana/characters will be picked up completely fine, but when you continue on from it, it changes definition entirely. and there are some kanji that get mistaken for others. I love it still but that definitely needs to be worked out
-- Deez Nuts45, 2022-11-17

### *---- "Difficult to connect to apps"
I cannot connect to apps like Evernote. Very disappointed.
-- JackP!, 2022-10-23

### ****- "Better than Scribble"
I actually have space to write compared to Scribble. Also lone tie &quot;it might be this word, were not sure&quot; function. Weird handwriting isn&#039;t discriminated, and it also gives the app a chance to learn how you write. Would like to see Windows Ink gestures added in, mostly the word tie gesture.

Other than that- the only bugs that need fixing are some UI placement, capitalization continuity, and enabling high resolution strokes (not sure why it&#039;s disabled).
-- AriQ&lt;3, 2022-09-05

### ****- "Almost there"
For English, it won&#039;t allow for full resolution for the writing on the iPad. Otherwise, it is pretty awesome.
-- Review Time!!! 📍, 2022-05-06

### ***** "Finally! MyScript engine is THE best!"
I took notes for years with the MyScript Stylus Keyboard on my iPad, but after numerous changes, it no longer works. THIS works even better than that, thank you so much! This app triples my productivity by helping me jot down quick notes or long ones &amp; keep them with me. The handwriting to text conversion is nearly seamless!
-- 45 &amp; counting, 2022-03-10

### *---- "Soooo Frustrating!!!"
I brought this app because Scribble won’t write uppercase letters (what’s up with that Apple?)
The first issue was having to do all my writing in that box across the bottom. I do most of my work in landscape and I lose a third of the screen. Having to manually press the space button to clear the box to start the next line of text is also annoying and awkward and, cumulatively, a productivity drain.
What I can’t tolerate though, is the editing. The “clear” button is a nightmare. I can’t get the delete button when I need it. When I type an entry, I don’t know for sure where it will end up or what will be entered (yes, I was careful to put the cursor in the right place.)
Yes, it fixes one problem, but creates several others.
If I missed the instruction manual, point me in the right direction. If not, this was a bust. Refund?
-- Ilovespam, 2021-12-31

### ***** "Best handwriting around"
Much attention to detail and designed for high usage. Keep the innovations coming!
-- wiltjk, 2021-11-25

### ***** "The Best I&#039;ve Found - Superior"
This is, without equivocation,  the best handwriting keyboard I have found. 

I Prefer handwriting rather than trying to tap the correct keys on my iPhone. In that way I can watch what I&#039;m writing rather than watching the keyboard. I can watch my ideas appear on the page just as they do on paper. 

Other apps I&#039;ve tried that attempt to do the same thing always fall short. Although I have attempted to work around their shortcomings I found myself continually wanting something better. This app has addressed every shortcoming and more. 

 1. Character recognition is far superior. 

 2. Numbers are easily recognized .

 3. It has its own number pad if needed.

 4. When I get sloppy and write a capital letter, as I sometimes to, I have the option of making the word all lower case with a tap. 

 5. If I run out of  space with a long word I can make more room on the entry space with a tap. 

 6. Before I commit a word to my document it shows in the entry space for fast verification. 

 7. The split entry space allows me to write very fast with maximum accuracy. 

There is much more. It takes using the app to discover its advantages. The developer has thought of everything and has applied A great deal of coding skill to produce a superior application.
-- Primate1, 2021-07-07

### ***-- "Better but still needs to flow"
The app has gotten way better but it still does not flow in sentence writing like apps in the past like Stylus did.  Updating this review because you can adjust the Auto Enter settings to have your set fence recognize and convert but what I would like is a right most shaded area in the text entry field that when you write into that it line wraps, converting the first part of the line and then giving you a blank line entry.  notability and other apps do this with zoomed in note taking.
-- NicknameZ, 2021-04-20

### *---- "I can’t really figure it out?"
I can’t figure it out!
-- irishroon, 2021-02-05

### *---- "The app does not work on iPad"
There is no way to install and enable the app for English handwriting. Totally not usable on my iPad.
-- tykhr, 2021-01-18

### ****- "Nice to use for English and Japanese"
I use this keyboard a lot for both English and Japanese handwriting, and overall it works very well. There are a few minor frustrations, though. I wish it would learn some of the nuances of how I write-I find myself correcting the same mistakes sometimes. Also, in Japanese, I have a hard time entering the &quot;little&quot; Hiragana characters. These are minor irritations, though, and overall I would recommend this app for iPad users who don&#039;t like to type on a glass keyboard and would prefer to use handwriting. 
FYI, it does pretty well with my eclectic mix of cursive and print handwriting.
-- Tim_T_D, 2020-11-04

### ***** "Fantastic"
I hope future updates support more languages
-- Abu_Muath, 2020-10-13

### ****- "amazing"
wish i found this app earlier. translates cursive handwriting beautifully into text.  Nearly perfect with a little practice and a stylus. I can&#039;t recommend enough
-- Uprootedtraveler, 2020-09-19

### ***** "Initial impression: Really good."
So far, really impressive. Really good handwriting recognition.
-- BobN1958, 2020-08-27
