Does anybody else have over 20 years of handwritten on-paper stuff that they are trying to get into electronic form so they can try to wrangle it into some publishable stuff?
I wrote for many years without any intention of publishing anything. I have boxes and huge binders full of stories, ideas, and world-building. Some of it may be worthwhile, but I can’t type it; a couple of days at a keyboard recently left me in wrist-splints for weeks. At one point years ago I tried voice-to-text. That might work better now, but I don’t really want to spend hours off in a room talking to myself; I can use laptop and iPad with my family around me.
I’ve decided to use Scrivener, and with SelvyPen I can hand-write right in there (Ipad), and I’ve even found an app that can read my handwriting off paper (at least the relatively neat stuff I've tried it on), but both methods leave a mess for editing, and I haven't found anything on the iPad that can fix it efficiently. I'm not sure even the windows version of Scrivener can find and delete all the extra paragraph marks for me. So, route everything through yet another app? Any suggestions?
TIA
