Abstract

Note-taking applications today have features that imitate the behavior of real handwriting such as smooth strokes, responsive interface, and stroke thinning. However, the problem is that the writing tools of these applications do not fully simulate the feel of their real counterpart. Some of these applications have flaws like unnatural pen thinning effect, pixelation of strokes, and lack of highlighter blending. To solve these, an iPad application with a custom smooth writing algorithm was developed. It was compared to five commercially available note-taking programs in the App Store.
