MyScript for Livescribe has excellent accuracy rates on:
cursive | ![]() |
and printed handwriting | ![]() |
But there are some things that you can do that will improve conversion accuracy even further.
MyScript for Livescribe will try to interpret crossing out as text and will
have trouble understanding characters squashed into words at the last minute.
It will also produce incorrect results on words that you have written over in
order to emphasize them.
The solution: change errors at conversion time, in the editor, rather than trying
to change your notes. Add bold type after conversion to emphasize.
Characters that are too cramped together cause conversion difficulties.
The solution: leave sufficient space between words, and between characters and
punctuation marks like brackets or separators.
If you notice words that are frequently recognized incorrectly, add them to your dictionary for better results in future.
You will run into problems if:
- letters are too inconsistent in height within the one word (letters that are
too big might be interpreted as drawings!)
- words vary noticeably in height on the same page.
The solution: try to keep letters a reasonable size (for example, a capital
letter should measure between 0.5 and 1 cm on digital paper) and to write with
a consistent height.
