I'd to know if any are good at ignoring the meat of the hand in preference for the stylus and at the same time contemporaneously transcribe into type from writing
And as for "the meat of the hand", AKA palm rejection, you have two options:
1. a smart stylus that pairs with your app and allows you to rest your palm on the device's screen
2. a dumb stylus, needing a software solution
I can't tell you much about option 1, because I didn't go that way.
Some thoughts about option 2:
- Goodnotes has a relatively new option list to choose the sensability. When set to high, even your fingertip won't leave a trace on your screen. It works extremely well.
- Bamboo Paper has a good palm rejection built in, your handpalm will leave marks on rare occasions only
- Noteshelf, Notability and others have a slider or a semi-transparant pane you'll need to move in order to rest your palm. The one in Noteshelf moves down automatically while you write
- Notes Plus has an option that ignores the handpalm but at the same time disables swipes
- Procreate claims to have a new palm rejection technology in their latest version, but I'm not impressed
