I mean no offense, but it's kind of crazy that people think that linking handwriting recognition, a technology that was first rolled out 24 years ago in Windows XP, with an LLM is "soooo incredibly cool". I don't get it.

What really irks me about it is that the palm pilot I had 20+ years ago actually had BETTER hand writing recognition than the software on my devices today!
If by hand writing recognition you mean force you to learn their "graffiti" system, and write one letter at a time sure. Lets not even pretend newton did any better.
All I know is I have dsygraphia and their system worked for me. I took tons of notes on mine in school.
Products are something other than the sum of their technical parts.
It's cool but it has nothing to do with the tom riddle application.

It's cool because LLMs are actually fucking amazing technology and people are already numb to it.

Yeah you could just run rsync and sshfs.
