I think live scribe is what you're looking for. I've never used it but at some point they were buying them for people at my first job.

Note that LiveScribe uses special paper with a patterned watermark. That differs from “any paper”, as requested.

That said, special paper isn’t a huge ask, and it increases accuracy immensely. I worked for a company that used this tech years ago, and it was impressive not only for text, but marking up maps, collecting data from forms, etc.

This looks really good, has anyone used it?

I like the analog ability to toss paper all over my desk without worrying about damaging whatever I balance it on.

And I do like physical paper because you can split a stack and make “more screens”
