MyScript Notes
Handwriting notes app that converts pen strokes to typed text
What is MyScript Notes?
MyScript Notes, formerly called Nebo, is a pen-first note-taking app for iPad, iPhone and Android devices. It recognizes handwriting in 66 languages and turns handwritten text, math and diagrams into typed text and clean shapes, across four note formats: notebooks, documents, boards and PDFs. Paid plans add generative AI tools for summaries, explanations and quizzes, along with cloud sync.
MyScript Notes has a free plan. Paid plans start at $1.99 on the US App Store; billing period not labeled. See every plan
Good for
- Stylus users who want handwriting turned into typed text
- Students revising with AI summaries and quizzes
- Handwritten math, diagrams and PDF annotation
Worth knowing
- The free version limits notebooks to five pages each and leaves out cloud sync and AI features.
- It is sold only through the App Store and Google Play, and the vendor's own pricing page lists plan types without prices.
- On Windows the app is still Nebo: a separate Microsoft Store purchase that syncs with MyScript Notes but gets no new features.
- Family Sharing is not supported, because each user needs their own MyScript account.
Key features
- Handwriting recognition
- Recognizes handwriting in 66 languages and converts it to typed text. Search covers handwritten content, text in diagrams and PDF annotations.
- Pen gestures
- Edit with the pen instead of menus: scratch out to erase, underline to emphasize, and add or remove space between lines.
- Four note formats
- Notebooks with fixed-size pages, documents that reflow with the screen, boards on an expandable canvas, and imported PDFs for annotation.
- Math and diagrams
- Solves simple handwritten calculations, copies math as LaTeX or an image, and turns hand-drawn diagrams into shapes that stay editable in PowerPoint.
- Generative AI study tools
- Summarize notes, explain a selected term, turn a note into a quiz or chat with an assistant. AI study sets are on iOS, with Android to follow.
- Cloud sync and export
- Paid plans sync through iCloud (iOS only), Google Drive or Dropbox with a free MyScript account. Notes export as PDF, PNG, SVG or Word.
