You're In Business
NoteOCR addresses a valid productivity pain point (digitizing handwritten notes) but is in a very early stage with minimal verified traction (500+ users). The project faces significant competition from native OS features (like Apple Live Text) and multimodal AI models. The submission lacked key business data (revenue, team size), and the technology appears to be a standard implementation of existing OCR APIs rather than a novel breakthrough. It scores in the 'Minimal traction' range.
