Note bene: I am not familiar with note scanning software.
I am _extremely_ familiar with character scanning software.
"95% accuracy" in scanning conversion to text produces a useless document. It is more work to clean up that mess than to retype it from scratch.
95% "sounds" good. In reality, it produces an illegible (and unreadable) text document.
