In today’s post we are sharing with you 4 ways to help you convert your handwritten notes into digitized editable text. Students can use them to convert the handwritten notes they take in class into digital text to include into the projects they work on online.
This is definitely my favourite in this list. Google Lens offers a wide variety of cool features that allow you to bring to life the world around you. One of these features is the ability to digitize printed or handwritten text. To do so simply point the camera of your phone at the text, select it then click on copy. Watch this video to learn more.

Once digitized you can edit your text and save it to Word or PowerPoint, among other things. Watch this video to learn more about Microsoft Lens.
