- SunghoYahng 5y agoThe reason handwriting is helpful for learning is that handwriting naturally induces structuring of content. And in Note Garden, the content is naturally structured while taking notes.

There is nothing about structuring content. Which does not mean your statement is necessarily wrong; it’s just a speculation presented as a fact with no supporting evidence in the name of promoting your product.
