Convert handwritten manuscripts to digital text

Creative writing often begins on paper, whether it's a poem, a short story, a novel, an ad concept, an article, or even song lyrics. Many writers find that ideas flow more naturally when writing by hand.
However, when it comes to editing, paper notes become limiting. They lack the flexibility, searchability, and efficiency that digital text provides.
Pen to Print makes moving from handwritten drafts to digital text fast and effortless with online handwriting OCR. Simply scan your notes as an image or PDF, upload them to our platform, convert the handwriting to text, and export your work as editable text or Word files.

Fluent writing that boosts creativity

Writing by hand can create a better flow of thoughts and ideas, can help process thoughts more deeply and creatively, and may result in more creative, original, and inspired writing.
In addition, handwriting engages different parts of the brain than typing does. Handwriting can also help improve focus and concentration.
It's no wonder, then, that many creative writers prefer writing their literary works by hand.
However, once the initial writing is completed, and editing is needed, it is much easier and more effective to use a digital format.
With Pen to Print, you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Write your creative writing by hand on paper, and easily transcribe the notes to text, from image or PDF to Word, with Pen to Print's unique handwriting OCR online service to start editing.

Editable text for organized work

Paper literary work is very limited when it comes to organizing, editing, and reordering - if a section needs to be added or removed, if something needs to be changed or reordered, then automatically the paper becomes a mess. But once you transcribe handwriting to text, your work becomes easier to organize. You can add, delete, or reorder sections quickly. It can be ordered properly and keep the work neat and tidy.
Transforming handwritten work into digital format, with online OCR, keeps it accessible at any time, making it easy to review on the go or when working remotely.
