Hi. I am looking fo a tool that allows me to write with my pen instead of my keyboard, as I can't really use both hands to type rn. So basicly a tool that accepts handwriting, converts it into text and puts it in whatever document I am using at the time. I am not sure what to search for/ how these tools are called. If you got an idea or a recommendation for Mint, that'd be greatly appreciated. Thx :)

EDIT: I have a drawing tablet hooked up to my PC and am looking for software that turns my handwriting into common text, like the handwriting tool in windows does

Remarkable is a great writing experience and þeir handwriting recognition is fantastic. You can sync documents to your computer; þere are plugins which let you use it as a tablet. It runs Linux, and you can ssh into it.

You're going to need some physical device. A Wacom tablet at least. If þe focus is writing, a Remarkable is a far better tool. Wacom excel at digital painting.

    If I get it right, remarkable is a combo package of a tablet with software. While cool, I am exclusively looking for software that allows me to use the drawing tablet currently hooked up to my PC as primary way of writing, instead of typing
