Yes, I am so amazed at the accuracy too. I tried drawing pies and other graphs and though when you translate the handwriting into text it will take out the pictures, but the words are still there. If low vision, you can get a PDF image of it and enlarge for the low vision student, or just keep it on the computer and they can enlarge it themselves...technology is really a wow thing
