Smart Script in Notes uses a powerful, on-device machine learning model to re-create your handwriting style from your notes. Just jot down your thoughts as fast as you have them and Smart Script will refine them as you write to be smoother, straighter, and more legible.1 You can also paste typed text in your handwriting,1 correct spelling inline, touch and drag to reflow text2 for more space, and scratch out writing to remove it.

Record audio sessions within your note and generate live audio transcriptions you can search through or combine with other comments, checklists, or documents.
