Nebo Note app, the new handwriting app from MyScript intended for iPads and selected Windows 10 devices, is suggested to be the best option to convert notes into editable and shareable text. Fortunately, the app is currently free to test until the end of August and will be available for $9 after.

Nebo Note app has integrated the Interactive Ink tech. For an iPad Pro user with an Apple Pencil, the app will work by creating a new blank note and writing using the stylus. As the user writes, the Interactive Ink automatically interprets the letters as typed characters. After finishing the handwritten document, the user can double tap on the selection to convert it to an editable text, CNET reported.

There are also options to convert, copy and delete the documents by tapping the "..." icon at the right of the handwritten document. Additionally, Nebo Note app has a "Share as Text" option which lets the user copy the editable text to iMessage, email, Twitter, Apple's Notes app, Facebook, Evernote, OneNote, Wunderlist, Dropbox and other services installed on the user's iPad.

Furthermore, the Nebo Note app text can also be formatted using the Apple Pencil in any case that emphasizing a word, sentence or paragraph with highlighting is necessary. A frame can also be drawn around it for more emphasis. For bulleted documents, the Apple Pencil can be used to jot down some points accordingly and draw small black points before each point. The Interactive Ink automatically converts the drawings into a formatted list.

Nebo Note app also allows the addition photos to notes directly from the camera or from the camera roll. Aside from that, the Apple Pencil can be used to draw sketches and  diagrams, PCWorld reported. The app will then automatically add an option to shade using colors and create mathematical formulas to the sketched diagrams. Watch Nebo Note App walkthrough here.
