At the end of the document, you had a document that looked like you typed it.
Then you could get it off the document as an RTF file and do what you want with it.

Nebo on real LCD Android (or Windows or iOS) with a digitizer built-in and a pen works far better than Newton, or anything else. The Google Gboard handwriting is using a sketchpad where the keyboard would be and works better than Palm or Newton ever did, just with a finger. I was able to install it even on an old Android 7 phone instead of the default Android ASOP. You do need to change all the defaults and privacy. Nebo is poor on Sage or Elipsa due to eink. The Gboard is unusable on an Android 8 eink, but fine on a really cheap ancient RCA Android 8 tablet, and various Android phones.
The surface on eink isn't for writing but to reduce glare and reflections. Most LCD and OLED give headaches because of reflections on too shiny screens. Some matt screens do exist on LCD, OLED and CRT (it's 40+ year old technology, shiny is cheaper).
