About Nebo

Nebo is a note-taking app from MyScript that is built around handwriting. As a user writes with a stylus, the app recognizes the ink and converts it into typed text and clean shapes, so handwritten notes can be edited, reformatted and shared like typed documents.

Nebo runs as an app on the user's own devices and is not a self-hosted server product. It is relevant to people who prefer writing by hand but want searchable, editable text; see the vendor's site for current platforms, features and pricing.
