Why Handwritten Text Recognition for Xournal++?

A key benefit of digital note-taking is searchability, which digital handwritten notes lack without handwritten text recognition (HTR). While many commercial apps offer this feature, no open-source, privacy-focused handwriting app does - until now.

The Xournal++ HTR project aims to bring on-device handwriting recognition to Xournal++, a leading open-source note-taking platform. This will make handwritten notes searchable while ensuring user privacy through local data processing.
