Killer iPad-Apple Pencil Feature

Dan Moren on the lack of handwriting recognition in iOS:

And yet even with the debut of the Apple Pencil, which would seem like a natural use to revive this technology, Apple hasn’t delved back into handwriting recognition. Part of that is no doubt because Steve Jobs famously lambasted stylus-based interfaces – though I have no doubt that if he were around today, he’d proclaim the Apple Pencil “the stylus done right.”

Handwriting recognition with the Apple Pencil would be a killer feature. I may buy an iPad Pro, but with this feature, I definitely would, and just for that.
