Notes Plus is an app that allows you to write and convert your writing to text... I find it best to turn gestures off while I'm using drawing / writing apps. This app is not free and I'm not convinced that handwriting is quicker but it may be something you'd like to try. I'm happy to let you try it out on my iPad to see how you enjoy it before you buy.
In order to convert your written text to typed text, circle the full sentence or paragraph and click bottom right arrow. It will convert all the text written to typed text. This may be copied and pasted into email, documents or just saved.
