Note AI (handwriting to text)

Rickard Östlund
I've recently gotten my note air 2 and one of the selling points to me were handwriting to text conversion. Anyways, my issue isn't that the text isn't recognized or such but rather that, if I chose "Original" or "Reflow", the sidebar disappears and it seems as if you're in a new window. If I then press the back button in order to get the changes made, the text goes back to handwriting -.-. Copying and inserting the text works but I'm just curious if this is a software bug or a "feature" because intuitively I'd want to be able to convert a page while I'm writing and then keep writing on the next page. But it seems as if you're supposed to convert the entire notebook and export it?

    Dear customer, we apologize for the inconvenience. We have noticed this issue and we have optimized the AI recognition feature of the Notes app. In firmware v3.3.1, you could directly edit the converted text in either Original or Reflow mode.

    The firmware v3.3.1 is now available for Note Air 2 and you could update the firmware via Settings > Firmware Update on your device.

    Many thanks for your time and understanding.

    To be honest, I think it does work as you guys intend atm, I am on firmware version V.3.3.1, It does convert the text mostly correctly and any errors are quick and easy to fix.

    What I ment were that if I write a note and I want the text digitalized, I need to either copy or insert the text and erase the original handwriting. I think it would be more intuitive if you could apply the changes when doing an "original conversion" so that you can keep taking notes but whatever you had were converted.

    Because, if I do an original conversion and keep writing digitally and then try to go back to the main view of the notetaking app, all the changes are lost and the original handwriting are reapplied.
    So it seems that you have to "share" and "export" whatever you're writing in AI mode in order to "save".

    Ehum, the more I try to explain, the more I feel like I overcomplicate the issue...
    I'll try with some pictures.

    When I go back in the edited version, I'm back at the first handwritten version.

    I also would appreciate to have the ai results (set to automatic in the background) automatically to be saved im the notes. E.g. as an annotation im the PDF. That would ease up the search process, when opening the notes that are synced with ms onenote

    I am experiencing the same frustration.  This is the main reason I bought the tablet and thought it'd be easier to save.
