MyScript Alternatives

If you're looking for something other than MyScript, Mathpix is another good option. It can convert photos, handwritten notes and PDFs into editable, searchable and machine-readable text documents. The AI-powered system uses sophisticated OCR technology to recognize mathematical formulas, chemical structures, tables and text written in many languages. It can output files in formats like LaTeX, DOCX, Markdown and Excel, so it's good for education, accessibility and high-volume digitization.

Another good option is XNote, which marries a novel notebook, smart pen and mobile app to bridge the analog and digital worlds. The smart pen recognizes handwritten text and syncs it to the mobile app, which means you can get digital versions, search and share. XNote integrates with ChatGPT for conversational dialogue with notes, supports multiple languages and can use AI to detect tasks and set reminders, so it's a good all-purpose note-taking tool.

If you want a more traditional note-taking app with AI smarts, Goodnotes offers a natural handwriting experience. You can combine handwritten and typed text, edit PDFs, record audio and use AI-powered study sessions. Goodnotes has features like spell check, word completion and a search function for handwritten and typed text, too, so it's a good tool for students, teachers and professionals trying to get more out of their notes.

Although not specifically geared toward handwriting-to-text conversion, Scrawly is an AI-powered note-taking and task management tool. It can capture and organize ideas by voice command and convert them into formatted notes, tasks, photos and audio/video files. With features like voice-to-text notes, smart prioritization and personalized reminders, Scrawly is good for people who need a system to manage their tasks and ideas.
