If you're writing in text mode with cursor, Android have an input feature that will convert your handwriting to text. At least that's how I do it in my tablet, I don't know whether it's part of the Android API or Gboard. Handwriting OCR is a non-trivial task and unless there's good open source library with good performance/accuracy/CPU tradeoff I think it's better for Saber to polish up their drawing, writing, and annotating flow.

Iirc this is samsung only, so it'd be very useful on other devices. As an alternative we could look for a keyboard app that supports this (like samsung's one)?
