I don’t know, it seems unnecessary to me.

Why do I need a second copy on top of the one I just wrote?

I don’t think misinterpretation would happy nearly enough for it to be more useful than intrusive.

I like having confidence that the intermediate representation is correct before moving forward. Especially since OCR usually makes mistakes on handwriting. It's not a redundant copy, it's reassurance.

Yes, the handwriting recognition system needs to communicate results as soon as possible to instill trust in the user. I need to be able to spot and fix misinterpretations as quickly as possible, otherwise errors accumulate real fast.

If it were an option you could contextually disable it via Apple Pencil it would be cool.
