Eat up Martha! Microsoft slings handwriting recog into OneNote on Android Microsoft has announced improvements to the mobile versions of its OneNote note-taking software, aimed particularly at those who prefer to do their jotting with a pen, rather than a keyboard. Most significant among the updates, the company has released a new version of OneNote for Android tablets that supports handwriting …
Nice touch is that, when it sees a pen, the stylus is used for drawing and fingers are used for panning :)
Yes I can create and name notebooks and sections but I can't seem to rename the individual pages :(
Edit: easy to do from desktop OneNote, even converts handwritten titles! Only seems to work on Android if you type into the top line, clunky :(
to jot notes on my phone and Galaslab tab3 but using a rubber tipped pen with a 1/4" rounded 'point' is not something I can get used to when what you intended to write is not where you expect it to be, so after hunting around to get the right apps so that I could jot and sketch I have given up and gone back to my usual crappy typing. I have looked but so far not found a fine point electrostatic pen is it something to do with screen sensitivity?
Those crayon styluses are annoying as hell.
I recommend something from the Adonit Jot line. I have a Pro (http://www.adonit.net/jot/pro/), and it works quite well. Of course, there is still the problem with palm rejection, which can only be solved using more expensive and complicated solutions, such as the BT-based Jot Script. Unfortunately, the Jot Script only works on iOS so Fandroids are out of luck, at least WRT the Jot Script. Maybe another manufacturer makes an android equiv?
"your notes are synced to the cloud" does not equal "your notes are stored in the cloud"
and as it's the way that desktop and mobile notes sync up, not to have it would be a bit of a bind.
But also each to their own. If it isn't what someone wants, they shouldn't be taken to task for not using it.
Because Google Android doesn't store anything in thr cloud? OneNote stores a 'copy' of your notes in the cloud - you still have the local copy to work with. OneNote syncs via OneDrive, Google Docs don't store anything on Google servers to sync across devices? I find really funny people blame MS for doing exactly what Google does.
