Taking handwritten notes has a lot of upsides, even in our digitally-driven workplaces with mobile phones, tablets, and computers almost always within arm’s reach.

For one thing, it’s easy to just grab a pen and notepad—and it never runs out of batteries. If you’re an avid note-taker, there’s really only one problem: it’s a big challenge to organize your notes later. Even the best of us at organization will likely have stacks and stacks of notebooks, and finding that one little piece of information could quickly become a serious chore.

That’s where the Xerox Note Converter App comes in. This awesome technology takes the best of both worlds—hand writing your notes and digital documents—and makes them work together in beautiful harmony. Let’s see how it works:

How Does the Xerox Note Converter App Work? More Convenience, Less Screen Time – Notes Your Way (And in Your Language!)

Utilizing artificial intelligence developed by Google, the Xerox Note Converter App provides an easy, fast way to transform your handwritten notes into fully editable, remarkably accurate digital documents.

Thanks to a technology called Optical Character Recognition (OCR), the app can effectively “translate” your handwritten notes into digital text. However, it does come with a few drawbacks: cursive writing tends to not work as well as block text (regular printing). While you don’t have to have perfect handwriting, the cleaner your notes are the better the app will work.

If you can get past the cursive issue, you’re golden—our experiments have yielded mostly-perfect digital documents, with only minor corrections necessary. Once you have your notes digitized, you can edit them to your heart’s content; they’ll work just like any other document on your device.

Also worth noting is that the app works with nineteen languages, not just english!
