This is a thing that existed even when DS9 was being filmed; taking handwriting and converting it to printed fonts? It wasnโ€™t as on the fly IRL, but by the 24th century Iโ€™m sure it would be perfect where you could write by hand and instantly have it transformed into print.

Yes, but you can see what youโ€™re writing on real devices.

The Apple MessagePad did it on-the-fly, by the word. Problem was, it was terrible. It was supposed to learn your handwriting and get better over time, but it didnโ€™t. The next to try was Palm, and they mostly got it with their special shorthand glyphs. I had both, and was much happier with my PalmPilots.

Youโ€™d think they would have ironed out the kinks after 400 year
