## 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.

## 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.
