Great, but could be even better – MyScript Stylus - Handwriting Keyboard Review

I have RSI in my hands, and I find it easier to write than type. This app is what convinced me to get an iPad. It's painless finally for me to do text entry! That said, here is some feedback for the developers: I. There should be a voice input button. For users with RSI its important to be able to fallback to voice for longer sentences. It's annoying to have to switch back to the normal keyboard just for this. 2. Sometimes manually moving the cursor confuses Stylus, and it only displays some of the text around the cursor in the writing area 3. Since I'm using an Apple pencil, there is no reason to require me to use 2 fingers to scroll. I never want finger input to be considered writing and frequently try to scroll with one finger because that's the norm in most apps. It would be great if there was a mode for this. 4. Symbol recognition is poor-weakest part of the app is trying to write slash, backslash, dash, and underscore (the last I've NEVER figured out how to do). Also sometimes when writing colons it thinks I'm making a big circle (think it's a bullet point?) 5. There should be a gesture for inserting a missing word-it would be great to insert a new word above with a caret just like correcting a paper in real life. Right now it's clumsy, you have to insert spaces to make enough room to write then remove them. 6. Sometimes in Safari writing in the Stylus area while the search bar has focus does nothing, then when I click the search bar again all of a sudden everything I wrote before appears. 7. Doesn't work correctly in slack chat. After hitting send a random subset of the text stays in the stylus window.
