Do you take handwritten notes regularly?

Even in a world of cell phones and tablet computers, taking your notes by hand is great—it’s convenient and doesn’t require battery power. However, when you want to work with those notes later, it certainly does have some drawbacks.

For example, searching your handwritten notes isn’t just as easy as hitting “CTRL+F” and you’d be hard pressed to bring all of your notes with you anywhere on a thumb drive. If you’ve looked into digitizing your handwritten notes, you’ve probably come across a lot of expensive software with ho-hum results.

Here’s the good news: Xerox has really taken things to the next level with the Note Converter app, now available from the Xerox App Gallery.

Fast, Accurate, and Reliable OCR Technology at Your Fingertips

Optical Character Recognition, or OCR, is the technology that powers the Note Converter app and similar technologies. Some, as you might suspect, are most certainly better than others—and in our tests, the Xerox Note Converter app came ahead of the competition in almost every aspect.

Here’s how it works: you scan your handwritten notes into your Xerox multifunction printer. The app does its magic and then you can print, archive, or send your digitized notes to your email address. Once you have the file, you can open it up in your favorite word processing software and use it just like you would any other typed file.

The Note Converter App Gives You Great Results in Multiple Languages

One of the most impressive features of the Xerox Note Converter app is the fact that it works in many languages other than English—up to 19 other languages, in fact. This can be a great boon to not only international workplaces, but any office with bilingual staff.

There’s one caveat though: like most OCR technology, the app works best with print (block) text, so you’ll have to give up the fancy cursive for this one.
