So the question is, if I'm just creating a list of freeform annotations, how will they be described to the user? I can't read the freeform annotation to know what words were written. Would I just say "Note 1, Note 2, etc", or do I have to ask users to enter a name/description for the note? I assume you won't have time to do that based on your description. You said "miniaturized, normalized", but I'm not really sure what you mean by that, and there isn't an API that I'm aware of in each platform to take a drawing of text and turn it into text. Some of the platforms have a stylus implementation that allows you to write with the stylus and it transforms it to text, but that is in lieu of using the virtual keyboard when entering text, not as a standalone API. That approach works with text annotations, but not freeform annotations. So if that is your preference, then the notes would be treated like a text annotation where it will bring up the virtual keyboard, but if you are using a stylus, you should be able to utilize the platform-specific functionality to write words with the stylus which it will transform to text. Then in the list of notes, I could list the first few words that were written along with a color I suppose, but is that sufficient? Or are you wanting to be able to add a name to the note so you can know what it was referring to?

Thanks,
Mike
