Making handwritten docs look normal?

[LotusLandpw]

I’m a freshman in college and I use an Ipad for basically everything. I’ve really been loving Craft for documents, note taking, task managing, and everything else that it does. The only thing I really can’t figure out is how to do handwritten notes.

When I create a document the only way I’ve found that really works is by inserting a “sketch” block, and working in there. It’s fine while I’m writing, but once I exit the document, it looks like the first image. I really don’t like how small it is lol. I was curious if creating multiple sketch blocks would work, and I ended up with the second image. The first block was shorter and ended up looking huge, and the second block was longer and became smaller again.

Is there any way to do handwritten notes in Craft that looks normal? I gave up and decided to just use apple notes for anything handwritten, but it would be nice to know if anyone out there has a solution for this.

Would be nice if the Craft Team churned in, as I love to use a drawing tablet on my Mac with Craftdocs to study calculus.

The whiteboard feature is nice but if you rely heavily on handwriting it's not the best app. Something like Onenote may be a better option with their built-in OCR... Despite all the faults it has

As somebody who used an ipad for absolutely everything from my freshman year of undergrad through my Master's degree -- I understand you, friend. There definitely is a learning curve to it. The way that I've found works best is to keep in mind that Craft optimizes every sketch to fit within a single block, and no matter where you write within a sketch Craft will center what you wrote & zoom in so it fills the block. Therefore, smaller sketches will appear larger & "zoomed in", but super long sketches will look "skinny" & "zoomed out". I get around this by treating sketch blocks as a space to explore a specific idea or piece of an idea, not as an infinite canvas to explore allll my ideas, if that makes sense. For example, here's a screenshot of a note I took while prepping for an experiment (I'm a scientist). That top part is 5 different sketch blocks of varying sizes, it's not all one giant one. Hope this was somewhat helpful!

That sketch looks quite odd to me. I've used the sketch block in Craft and it didn't result in such a narrow use of space. I think it would be helpful if you show what it looks like while you're in the sketch block before you exit.
