      I don't like my handwriting. So for note-taking in OneNote and MSWord, I download (or purchase from etsy) handwritten (note-taking) fonts that look like a kid or a student's handwriting, my fave free font are Gaegu and Caroni. So I type instead of writing but it still gives the effect of handwriting.

    I use both goodnotes + onenote. I personally dont need that much never ending space that onenote offers and i don't really like it. So i like to write my digital notes on goodnotes to keep them organized and compact, and then export them as a pdf to onenote in order to have my notes accessible on my devices when needed! Plus the notebook/section/file is my favorite thing about onenote. Best of both world haha

      I’ve heard that Nebo has that feature!

    • @susanneplays1545
      @susanneplays1545 Před 3 lety

      If you rely on converting handwriting to text you should probably use Nebo. It’s real time so it works quite good. While notability, collanote and probably more apps do have a “convert handwriting to text” feature, it’s not their speciality and there are often mistakes. Notability actually uses the myscript software that nebo has developed if you buy it (in app purchase), but it’s still not that good.
      OneNote is the best one for cross platform as the sync is good. Notability doesn’t work simultaneously on cross platforms (and lots of issues with notes being deleted) and you need to have a Mac that is recently updated for it to work. I’m not sure about good notes, and collanote hasn’t implemented cross platform yet. All of the popular note taking apps can save a note as pdf for cross platform though.

      @@kwoknation Yes you can actually. There is an option called ink to text which converts your handwritten notes to text. It works surprisingly well. Also the search option at the right upper corner of the page lets you search notes which includes the handwritten notes too (even if they are not converted).

    ipad 8 is a good choice for you because it is one of the cheapest ipad you can get 😊. for me i wouldn't recommend ipad 8 for myself, as i need to contain lots of documents. even 128gb (max storage you can get) is only enough until there are too many documents to contain for work, which i'm lazy to delete anything, or if something is more important that i would never ever want to remove. so i got ipad pro 11" 2020 instead. i can also have the better experience thanks to 120hz display frame rate, which is very good to use the apple pencil, as 60hz of screen makes you feel a bit tricky for drawing/writing
