Within the app and externally (by, e.g., putting OCR text invisible in the exportedPDF).

Squid looks good. But handwritten notes that cant be converted to standard text is a definite draw back.

Agree

Like many I just bought premium and realised it wasn't there so I will now be cancelling the premium and looking elsewhere. It's a shame as it's such a great app otherwise.

I have never felt as comfortable writing to screen as I do with Squid. I think, with just a few more journal entries it will feel as natural as paper. That being said, I'm still going to be doing any serious writing with my keyboard because without native OCR there're just too many steps to get from manuscript to text file. I'd actually improve my handwriting just to make it possible for Squid to read it to text. That would make an already near perfect app, just a little... hell, quite a bit closer to perfect! And the handwriting input method on Gboard does not equal OCR. It's a kludge for using a stylus to type when there is no keyboard. It's quite cumbersome to use for note taking, but a godsend when you're thoroughly frustrated with the onscreen keyboard. Still, not a replacement for OCR. Oh hell, I'd be happy (not satisfied, but happier) with a network facing non-real-time "OCR selection" option. Just don't make me save and open in another program or use the hellacious share mechanic.

My Lenovo Duet Chromebook has this natively as text input option. In addition to the pop-up keyboard, it has handwriting to text, and it works very well. In my narrow little world, this functionality isn't needed to be developed by Squid.

This is honestly the only thing keeping me from using the app. I have better apps for note taking and sketching. If this had an "export as .txt" I'd be using it all the time.

Still not added??? What the heck? App definitely needs this!

This option is present in Samsung notes. I hope this feature will be added in future , It really helps and saves time

And it works beautifully. Squid is a wonderful product. Thank you. Can you integrate a writing to text feature. I would absolutely pay extra for such a feature for Squid because it works so well.

100% agree with the others. This would make it the perfect app! Please listen to your customers!

I agree with others, this feature is the one that would make this a perfect app.

already long back when it was still called Papyrus they ignored this plea from users :(
It's a very big mistake.

You can convert handwriting to text, if you download your document and then open it with Google Docs. It automatically converts all writing to text. I have done this successfully and the writing recognition is pretty good. It will take some editing from a formatting perspective, but its a great starting point.

Samsung Notes does this perfectly.
Also hand drawing to perfect shapes when selected.

All I can really say is "this". Its the one feature missing. If it existed, I would resubscribe.
