WritePad for the iPad and PhatPad apps

The WritePad for the iPad app is a unique app that lets you take notes in your own handwriting.  After you take your notes in your own handwriting the app immediately converts your written work into digital text with the use of handwriting recognition software.

The same company also produces a similar app called PhatPad.  This app allows you to create and audio note,  draw, write, and type your ideas.  You also have the option of using the handwriting recognition software.  This app will pop up a line to handwrite on at the bottom of the app.  You write your work there and it will turn your handwriting into text.  This is different then WritePad because WritePad allows you to type anywhere in the app and the handwriting can be turned into text. 

WritePad costs $7.99 and PhatPad costs $4.99.  However, if you bundle the apps you can purchase them both for $7.99!
