Notes Plus is an app which has handwriting recognition in it. The handwriting recognition part is an in-app purchase above the $11 AUD price for the app. However, the menus are the only part of the app which is accessible. For the sighted, Notes Plus translates handwriting into computer text. It works well for low vision people in school as well.
You cannot handwrite in any app we know of with VoiceOver running. The app, 7 Nots HD, Prem will allow VoiceOver to read what was written, but VO blocks the ability to write in the app whilst VO is running.
