    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.
