    All I need from apple notes is a zoom in feature. Everything else like refined handwriting and ai features are awesome.

    Concepts is very good for hand-written notes/sketches. It's not the best in any category it covers, but its strong point is to be enough in most of the cases, making it easy to save your thoughts fast enough, and it has some pretty advanced features as well, like brushes, rulers, layers or templates.

      if it doesnt freeze up after 10 mins of using it, then it would definitely be the best... but also its not that good with exporting your notes as pdf. the way it separates your notes into diff pages is weird

    Bear has added the capacity to handwrite within the app. It now searches these handwritten notes as well. Does the same for images of my handwriting that I bring in from my e-ink tablet. It has become a very good all around app. Not as simple as one might think.

    • @ThatMarkGilroy
      @ThatMarkGilroy  3 месяца назад +1

      I think my challenge with Bear is that it reminded me too much of Evernote. Nice clean interface though! I might give it another try sometime (that handwriting image trick is very cool).

    I am looking for an app where I can take handwritten notes but then I want it to be converted automatically to typed text. Basically I want the handwriting experience while taking notes but don't want my final notes to be in the handwritten format. I have started taking notes using Notion as it has many features in the free version and I can use it on Windows as well but it doesn't have handwriting support. Can you suggest any app or a combination?

      I recorded this using the beta of iPadOS18. Some nice tricks there (like handwriting tidy up), but until Apple Intelligence arrives I’m holding off going all in on Notes. I’ll make a deep dive once some of the AI features are released.

    • @ThatMarkGilroy
      @ThatMarkGilroy  3 месяца назад

      Hi Rebecca. Two things:
      1) Craft has a dedicated 'Focus' button that pulls away all other menus/tabs when you're writing in one click. This might be helpful.
      2) Milanote has a number of appearance amends that you can make to improve legibility. I have a few other friends (also creators) with ADHD who have all said that Milanote helps.
