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

    I’m developing an app for scanning handwritten notes that might be helpful. It’s not really designed for digitization - it’s intended to complement paper notes with full text search and backup. It’s also a mobile app. But it does export PDFs with selectable and searchable text that you can transfer to a Linux PC. https://papernotebook.app/
