There are quite a bit of iOS application performance with handwriting recognition functionality are available, such as notes plus, iWriteWords for kids, or (indirectly) Evernote. But recognizing the handwriting is not trivial, which is why the new application called 7notes (the iPad: free, $ 8.99 premium/iPhone: free, Premium $ 4.99) is almost entirely devoted to this problem – and it does work really well.

The application works in the same way as on the iPhone and iPad (after both versions of the spin, I recommend that you download the iPad app, if you can). Simply use your finger or a stylus (recommended) to jot down notes, let 7notes do its magic and converting handwriting into digital fonts, if necessary (or mix of digital and ink annotations). All notes can be "embellished" and in combination with the images or Web pages, too.

There are a number of additional features such as auto scroll, font sizes, colors, lines, "smart engine", the autosuggesting words in a sentence, self-learning dictionary automatically save all notes etc. pull up the iPad or the iPhone's virtual keyboard if necessary.

The founders of the 7notes maker 7knowledge Metamoji claim they have more than 30 years ' experience in tongue and document processing software, and it shows.

Users can print and notes by e-mail, save them in the iPad or iPhone to your photo album, post them on Facebook and Twitter or send them to other applications, such as Dropbox and Evernote.

I would suggest trying the free version of 7notes first while only paid app offers handwriting digital conversion (and again, you need a little practice to get good results):
7notes iPhone version (free/$ 4.99 premium)
7notes HD iPad version (free/$ 8.99 premium)
