Yes Tom, and I must say that Smart Note is a lot better at recognizing my handwriting and French spelling and punctuation. But for me, the root of the issue is that I consider handwriting recognition a waste of time. Since it takes me less time to type a sentence, including correcting typos and autocorrect bloopers, than it does to write it by hand (never mind doing then correcting the conversion to typed text), the whole exercise is futile.
It's all a question of habit really. I have become so used to type, then scan for typos and correct them, that I can almost do it without thinking, or at least while half thinking about the next sentence. Writing by hand is slower, and then the whole error correction process distracts me from the main task which is writing. With practice of course it would get better, but I don't especially want to spend the time and energy to change my habits.
