Current state of OCR is that it's good for post-1950 printed texts, but pretty bad for older publications and handwriting. (I've recently been banging my head against 18th century texts - OCR just doesn't work there.) No idea as to the state of dedicated handwriting recognition apps. If you're taking notes, why not enter them directly onto your computer?
