WritePad

★★★★★ Great interface on the Nexus 7 I flew to Bangkok last summer and purchased on of those super cheap seven inch tablets with no brandname and tried this with several pens and it just didnt work. I upgraded to a Nexus 7 and gave it another try and loved the program. Apparently it requires some horsepower to function, but I liked it so much I use this as my primary interface instead of that much lauded Swift Keyboard. I find it is great if I want to add OCR translated text to cursive handwriting program notes such as Handrite note Notepad Pro and for entering text only notes such as Groovy Notes. I think on some programs it works better and I note that the longer I use it for instance on a new note program, it gets better with time. The type of stylus (I have two) may make a difference based upon the device you use. I have had better results with a a Puro stylus versus an iLuv stylus (brands purchased in Sweden) for instance. I consider this program essential for my productivity and documentation. If the OCR gets your word wrong you can tap the wrong word and it will give you alternates. As you use it, the text gets better and it goes quite fast to type once trained past a basic point on a programLove it!

★★★★★ Great! Brilliant app. The more you use it the better it gets at recognising your handwriting.

★★★★★ excellent app I've been using this program for a few months on my Nexus now and it works great for me. It did take a little time in the beginning to get used to the program and for the program to learn my handwriting style, but now I am very happy with the recognition - it is very rarely that I see an error. Especially, I like the Shorthand feature, which allows me to save a lot of time since I've created many shorthands of my own. One thing though, if you make a lot of spelling errors, the app will not recognize words correctly, and I had to add a few words to the user dictionary, such as some rare names, etc. One thing I'd like to see in the future, is the integration with Calendar and Contacts to quickly import names into the dictionary. Overall, however, I really like this app.

★★☆☆☆ Takes more than 15 minutes to really try this app. Your like wow, this sucks, but maybe it will get better. Then as you think it's getting better it just goes down the drain and inevitably they end up keeping your money before you give up and attempt a refund. This app defines why 15 minutes is not enough time to try a "learning" app. My best guess you must have pristine handwriting for this app to even slightly work. I also had 2 different styli that both work great, cursive or not it just can't figure it out. If I could give it zero stars I would due to the price and how worthless it is.

★★☆☆☆ Very poor at best Came here looking to replace Graffiti which no longer works on the new higher res screens. This pretty much always fails. I've been at it for a week and wasted 10 bucks looking for a handwriting recognition app which at that price point must work, right ? wrong. This really wastes huge amounts of my time trying to correct what is comes up with. Writing larger helps with its accuracy but means you will never fit even a moderately sized word on one line. The middle line like used on your kindergarten writing paper should be a huge help too, right ? wrong. It just confuses things. The engineer in me said this would work but I was wrong. I think the lack of a time limited intro app here says it all because if I had a week to play with this before buying I'd never purchase this junk. Total FAIL. I want my 10 bucks back.
