I have hardly found a use for the S-pen other than using it as a keyboard stylus. Unless you're into drawing, there aren't a lot of useful S-pen apps.

For me the S-Pen is very useful for backing up in a Netflix or Hulu video, when you want to rewind a bit to watch a scene again, or if you missed some dialog. Same is true when watching an MP4 video in a browser. The finger does not have sufficiently fine grained resolution. The S-Pen does.

Also, it's quite fun to use the spen in Picsay Pro, where you can photoshop objects into photos and then fine tune using the spen.
Other (less novelty based) uses include accurate copy and paste, signing pdf documents and jotting down stuff. I can't say I use the pen that much but when it's not in use it tucks away so nicely you forget it's there anyway!

Have you found any Apps that translate handwriting with the S-Pen into words of text?

Probably it's slower than typing, but maybe not. It's worth a try.

I know about dictation Apps but don't use them myself. Only voice search and voice commands for radio and music in my automobile.

Yes, the standard Samsung keyboard has this feature and you can also set it to automatically launch 'handwriting mode' if the spen is detached.
Personally I use SwiftKey keyboard so if I ever want to have handwriting transcribed into text I have to manually change the keyboard, which isn't a massive deal.
It actually works quite well and accurately though.
Whether it's quicker than typing I'm not sure..
