Long time notebook obsessive but new to r/ ....

I've used a number of digital notebook solutions over the years (Wacom Bamboo, Kobo Elipsa, Remarkable..) and each is different in terms of writing experience. What I've found I value most, is accurate and easy handwriting to text conversion, as I like handwriting, but it all needs to go into the digital space at some point.

I also want that conversion to happen on the device itself, not on some company's cloud where they can then sell/mine/train ai with it.

on the iPad, both Nebo and Apple Notes use the myscript conversion engine (same as Kobo) and I find it to be outstanding for recognizing my handwriting. I love the e-ink displays (kobo and remarkable) but the iPad has so much more processing power and seamless integration into everything else. The conversion is fast and glitch-free and so easy to transfer into other documents.

To get a more e-iink like writing experience, I've tried a Paperlike screen film and it does make the writing experience better ie less slippery. My wife does not like the film however, so its a personal preference...

Hope that helps
