3. Review Your Work:

Once you have typed your handwritten notes or receipts, the next step is to review your work. You have to review everything comprehensively and check for any mistakes or inconsistencies. 

For instance, keep an eye out for spelling errors, grammatical blunders, and sentences that do not make any flow.  Moreover, you also have to review the outline and see whether you have followed everything as it was written in your handwritten notes.

So, that’s how you can manually turn handwritten notes and receipts into blogs quickly.

3. Convert the Image to Text: 

Once your image is uploaded, hit the submit button to initiate the conversion process. This process takes a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the image size and quantity.

4. Review and Edit the Converted Text: 

The converting precision of the OCR program can fluctuate, including in the case of handwritten text. So, it’s critical not to forget to check the result for the appearance of any mistakes or the difference between the original and the version.
