First of all I would really like to thank you for your time and effort to put up the notes for us. I’m finding them extremely helpful and I really appreciate it.

Well, there is this application, called Genius scan (available for both apple and android software), which is really useful for taking pictures of handwritten documents. I hope it helps.
Again, thanks! 🙂
