Supernote handwriting to text, with the layout kept

How to convert handwriting on a Supernote

1. Create a Real-Time Recognition note. Open New Note from the sidebar and choose Real-Time Recognition[1].
2. Set the language first. Tap the underlined language to change it. Supernote says it cannot be changed after the note is created[1].
3. Write. The device recognizes your writing in the background[1].
4. Open Recognition Results. Tap the toolbar icon to see the text, and export it as TXT or DOCX[1].

Standard notes can be recognized and exported through the Export icon in the toolbar, in the same two formats[1]. In a Word document on the Supernote, you can also switch to handwriting mode, write and tap the recognition icon to turn it into typed text[1].

Keep a template's layout in Word

Supernote owners often write into templates: a weekly planner, a Cornell page, a meeting form with fixed boxes. LoreAI reads the page as a whole, so printed labels and your handwriting come back together in reading order, and a table on the page comes back as a Word table.

1. Export the pages as a PDF. Use the Share and Export tool in the toolbar and pick PDF[2].
2. Upload the PDF to LoreAI. The free tool here reads page 1. The LoreAI app reads every page.
3. Download the Word file. Edit it in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice, with the template's structure in place.

Your first document is free, up to 3 pages and 3 MB. The app also translates the notes into one of 105 languages, from the language you wrote in.
