I seriously thought I was the only person with this problem - almost word for word! Add to the fact that my handwriting is so awful, I hate writing because I have to look at it! Plus I had DeQuervain's in 2020 and it actually hurts to write on paper for long periods. Thank you for sharing this. Off to find an Apple Pencil for my iPad Pro!

You are not alone!

A few recommendations when writing on iPad. Start writing big, with a thick stroke. This will get you used to the mechanics. Flex the benefits of writing on iPad: use gestures, lasso tools, and handwriting conversion.

Let me know how it goes for you.

Interesting. I love my notebook and pen as well as typing on a laptop. Can those digital handwriting apps recognise your words and transcribe them to typed form?

Yes, totally! It's nice when you want to convert the handwriting and send it elsewhere.
