Case study

samsung-notes-format: decoding Samsung Notes handwriting

samsung-notes-format reconstructs the handwriting geometry stored in Samsung Notes .sdocx files. Its Python reader parses page objects and pen-stroke deltas, then renders strokes to SVG; accompanying notes describe the ZIP container and structures traced through a jadx decompilation of the Android app.
