Math Notes is the new feature where iPadOS 18 will not only recognize a handwritten sum or equation, but it will solve it — and solve it in the user’s own handwriting. Then with Smart Script, your actual handwriting gets smoothed out intelligently, so that it preserves what makes your writing yours, but also makes it more legible.
In a new YouTube interview, engineering manager Jenny Chan, and product manager Ty Jordan, say that these features are the culmination of what else Apple has been working on for a long time.
