One or more embodiments of systems and methods for a digital content management system for creating a digital document from handwritten content are described herein. For example, the digital content management system receives a digital image of handwritten content and analyzes the digital image to identify handwritten content as well as to identify specific command indicators. In response to identifying a command indicator associated with a command to create a digital document, the digital content management system creates a new digital document and adds digital content portions to the digital document that correspond to the identified content portions identified within the handwritten content depicted within the digital image.
