WritePad lets you take notes in your own handwriting with an iPad stylus (such as AluPen by just|mobile shown in the video) or even your finger. The state-of-the-art handwriting recognition software will adapt and learn your style of writing. You can use simple gestures to select text, cut, copy, paste, and insert special characters.

@superdobe I bought it and used it for a while just trying to get used to it. Unfortunately I decided not to keep the ipad 2 and gave it to my daughter and bought a macbook air. It did a good job recognizing what i was writing.
@redgar6467 what did you decide?
@bobgod60
Try notes plus, no handwriting recognition but I’d say you could switch between this and notes plus to get you by. In notes plus you can draw shapes and diagrams that look neat aswell as add your own handwriting and input text.

i can type on this thing about 3 times faster than you can write.
how much is this app?
Nice app, but as functional as tha app in 2005. a max of three words is just not functional. It will only be useful is you can write whole senteces in one go. 5.2 is a nice update for the iPad 2011, but still too much of a dinosaur at this point.
I love this app wish it had some of the functions in Phatpad
The notetaking I need to take needs to include graphics.sketches, and apple seems to have nothing like that available. Or am I wrong?
Cannot decided between Writepad and Phatpad. I mostly want to take notes in meetings and lots of them. Which would you recommend.
@tabhorian
you are right. Its use corresponds to therapists when they are with a client and want to take notes in the session without having to transcribe them later.
i have this app, and it amazing!!!! i just have one question.. i accidentally ticked the ‘hide menu’ at the bottom… the bottom menu disappeared, how do i get it back again?
Ok, Now I may buy an iPad! Thanks
Why would I want to write with handwriting when I have a keyboard? I am much faster at writing with a keyboard, and I can read it. I could have written what he wrote about 10 times in the time it took him.
Why would I want to change from a very good typing technique that I learned in highschool and perfected over a lifetime of using computers and replace it with an inefficient two finger hunt and peck technique that is used by people who were too dumb to learn how to type in public school?
