I hate Scribble!

I am not a fan of scribble! It bothers me that the insertion point jumps around and I don't find it to be very accurate. So for a long while I've been searching for a better way to handwrite on the ipad to convert it to text in all apps, not just in a note-taking app.
 
Eureka! I found it. In the app store there are two "Handwriting Keyboards”. One has a trademark ™ and a purple pen logo. The other has a green logo with a hand pointing down. That's the one. The trademarked app had 2 major problems:
 
No privacy. In order to even try it you have to agree to allowing all the data be used to track you and
 it is shared with advertisers. That's not permissible for my work setting.
It’s expensive and based on a subscription model.
 
The green hand logo Handwriting Keyboard costs $3.99 and it's well worth it. It works well, as I practice with it it's becoming more accurate. It took only a few minutes to figure it out.
 
If you try it, I highly suggest turning scribble off. It works much better without scribble enabled. You can set it up with a big, wide writing area on the bottom. It's a thousand times better than scribble. The technology that con­verts handwriting to text is the same tech used in Nebo. I really liked using  Nebo but it's  limited to that single app while this handwriting keyboard can
be used in all the apps. it has a little difficulty with some symbols, but otherwise it is just great!. It works withIt works with cursive too.

And the best part is that it is private. No Data is shared. l'm thrilled to have found it. No affiliation. I  just hate Scribble.(written with the handwriting keyboard.)

I saw an ad today on FB that looked like Aeropress was having a great sale. The GoPlus I’ve been wanting was only $29, the glass premium (don’t want it) was 49.99. Flow control filter caps for $7.49. WOW!

I thought about it and decided I might get the GoPlus. I don’t really NEED it, but at that price…

However, when I went back to look again, I saw the website had an extra “N” in it. It was aeronpress.com, not Aeropress.com.

Not thrilled at AP’s real prices (too high, AP!!!!) but that’s gotta be a scam. Be careful out there.
