recently sold mine. I'm glad to get most of money back. the technology is getting old and the updates have taken years to finally become close to what it was supposed to be. I'm sure we are getting close to a Remarkable 3 soon... but think I'll go back to a regular tablet.
I'm not sure if Remarkable is unable or just unwilling to implement (more) basic features. There are for example several developers that let you upload custom templates onto the device easily (but then your warranty is gone). Why don't Remarkable do it themselves or at least collaborate with these developers? From my experience with this company I have to assume that they're holding back several features to use them as leverage for a (rather another) exploitative subscription model...
On the more recent 3.3 beta, they have a button for changing to 1x zoom, and also a "prompt" that shows the zoom amount. There's also bold and italic text option now, and quite a lot of tweaks to refresh and gestures. But it being a beta, there were quite a few crashes and bugs, more than I have ever encountered on the rM 2, hoping they fix it before going public with 3.3, or maybe they'll skip 3.3 and go straight 3.4 like how they kinda skipped 3.1 for public I suppose?
I’m impressed it converted your handwritten notes to text. Those notes are bad lol but ok the fact that the device could “read” and convert your handwriting was impressive
Hi. I just want to share with you something. I am still contemplating getting the keyboard folio. I have iPhone and iPad Pro with keyboard case (not Apple) for years. As a forever journey of experimenting a perfect workflow- I kept experimenting what is best - Note app, OneNote, GoodNote, RM2. Owning both an iPad and the RM2 is quite interesting. I tested the RM2 mobile app on the iPad - thinking if I use that then there is no need to buy the RM2 folio. I was disappointed (for now) as the software kept bringing up the RM2 on screen keyboard - which cover half the page of the iPad; and when I minimise the on screen keyboard, the iPad wireless keyboard won’t work (type type type but no text). And my current iPad keyboard case has no portrait mode. So now I either have to order the RM keyboard folio… Or pair a small wireless keyboard with my iPhone, which I can use in portrait mode…. My point is - I was asking myself - is it a business and financial strategy that - 1) the RM iPad app blocking the keyboard when the onscreen keyboard is minimise?? 2) not allowing Bluetooth function for RM2 to connect to any universal Bluetooth keyboard???!??!!! there isn’t even a way to plug in a hardware usb keyboard….
Hi, Voja. How well can Type Folio hold the marker when is closed? Book folio prevents it to slip up or down and overall it helps a lot to hold marker. So, what is the difference in holding the marker on Type Folio and Book Folio? When scrolling the page with two fingers, you have to put them a little apart otherwise it wouldn't notice. But I think it works quite well.
You ran into the same issue I have been having with convert to text - that is that it does not recognize blank lines. It just concatenates all the text into one long string. How frustrating. My Livescribe notebook and pen lives on!
When it comes to the typed text I mostly just wanna be able to move it with the selection tool. orz I don't have issues with scrolling, unless I do it too soon after another input perhaps. Finally deleting the quick sheets indeed.
Who knew the reason they didn't add advanced note taking functionality to the device at launch wasn't because they wanted to keep it simple, but was instead because they didn't know how? 😏 Edit: I can't help but notice it converted Blarg to Beary for your written email sign off. I feel like Mobiscribe wouldn't have, and it makes me wonder if Remarkable has some kind of autocorrect happening.
I had such high hope for this device. Not sure how much of this was affected by the pandemic but reMarkable's inflexibility as it pertains to their software and interoperability with the device notes and the conversion and transfer to a document is very disappointing. They offer improvements which should have already been part of the device.
Deleted quick sheets. Then created a quick sheet on the iOS app on my iPad. It does not show up on the RM or on the app screen unless you try to add another quick sheet an d the choose the option to see all of the quick sheet pages. Of course, all this still resides in trash unless you have emptied the trash. Buggy.
You're doing it wrong - scrolling is with ONE finger. Pinch+zoom and sideways scroll is two fingers. Works very well on my rM1. What is missing is that there's no indicator if you have content further down a page (when you're at the top of a page on an endless page, 100% zoom). The only way to find out is to scroll down... Otherwise - great video! 👍
@@MyDeepGuide speed of the gesture also seems to make a difference. A one finger quick flick works a lot more reliably than a slow swipe. Makes sense I suppose 🤔

It sounds like you should be directing your comment to the Remarkable, instead of here? Because you seem to be having a problem with them going in the direction of a digital typewriter.
@@MyDeepGuide quite the contrary, I love the product and have zero issue with it. I was comment on your video about what you said but it seems I have triggered you. Have a great day.
But what about my video? I am simply covering the updates they release on their device, and the direction they are taking it. No triggering here, just calling a spade a spade and not allowing the marketing campaign of a company to cloud what is actually being done in reality. If you take a look at their previous updates, you will see the primary focus change, if you are objective that is. I didn't come up with the "digital typewriter" they did and that's also part of their language for their own product, so again, it seems that the issue you have is with their own language and the direction they have taken with the platform.
That's why the whole reMarkable platform is flawed, having to reinvent the wheel for basic functionality like select/copy/paste/format. An Android based platform will always have the advantage as it can reuse standard operating system features for things like this, including on-screen keyboards etc.
Two fingers scroll: maybe the two fingers are too close together; try placing your fingers a bit apart.
I have found that a little bit of separation between the two fingers works better.

Voice typing works on iOS. Just tried it. Didn’t realise that. Bonus.
Thanks for the detailed information. As I will be getting this - I wonder if a Remarkable 3 is on the horizon!
As far as I know not in the near future. They normally announce their devices well ahead of time, so we'll see.

Yeah, that's why I normally don't do videos on Beta versions, as they are beta and still a work in progress. We'll see what they settle on.
I have the SwiftKey in Android and it allows me to write voice notes in remarkable app
For those who use other alphabets, I can tell you that if I write in Greek from my iphone, the text appears in Greek on the Remarkable!
Same here! I can easily switch between English, Swedish and Norwegian on my Android phone 😊 But I would love the possibility of voice to text!
I received my Type Folio a week ago

You can copy and paste into the mobile app, so on my z fold, I can copy something from an email and then paste it into the mobile app

Scrolling works fine, if you spread your two fingers a little bit.
They are shipping the KB cover now. I got mine today. I like it so far.
KB?

Yes it does, and it is outrageous! I have been trying to calm Blarg down for ages now, as he now is facing a severe identity crisis...

Generally, _'One finger up'_ means you're not impressed.
Looks like you have the same tracker (tractive) on your cat as I have for my dog. Does it work well for you?
Yes, we use Tractive on both of them and I have to say that it's been working very well for us and helped us help them on a couple of occasions.
What I really dislike is that the remarkable only appends the converted text to my notebook as a new page.
This is a paper pad replacement not a type writer replacement.
Why does it have a dedicated keyboard accessory called Type Folio then?

They need to improve their handwritten to text software!
It would be great if we can "lock" a notebook not to be able to zoom.
Yes, that would be a sensible approach that should have been there from 3.0.
# 2 in 7 min ;-)
There is update 3.3
Not an official one, 3.3 is still in beta and heavily bugged.
Too many problems with a single device to be able to buy it 100% satisfied. Even not 70 % satisfaction . Sorry.

Is this launch (non-beta users) or beta?
Non beta
