    Thank you for this thorough review of note taking and templates. This device is exactly what I need! I just unboxed a Kindle Scribe yesterday and within 15 mins could see it lacked the functionality I will need, was very disappointed. I have ADHD, and need something that can replace my notebooks/legal pads I use for note taking during patient visits (chart in work device EMR later and prefer handwritten notes during visit), my agenda for personal plus 2 jobs, to do lists for work and personal… and I need less distractions than using my phone - alarm/notification fatigue keeps it from being helpful. I need a personal assistant to keep me organized and remind me to do simple adulty things, so this is next best thing 🤣

    hi! I have this notepad and I'm struggling with pdf interface: after I add some hand-write notes i can't print the whole pdf with my notes and I can't export the whole pdf with my notes. I only succeeded in exporting only the pages with hand-written notes but it's not what I want to do. If I try to send the whole pdf with notes by e-mail it only sends the simple pdf. To print the pdf with my notes on I have to export every single page as a .png and then print them one by one. Can you make a video about pdf interface? Thank you very much, beautiful videos!

    I've been using Note Air3 C for a week now and I'm returning it and going to get samsung tab S9 probably with samsung Notes app. I'm really disappointed with NAC 3 handwriting recognition and laging and how it didn't react to my commands either by pen or a finger. I thing I gave myself enought time to learn how to lay my hand on the display so that it catched the pen and started writing immediately but it just didn't work. I actualy got into situation when a contractor called me and I wanted to note down price offer information during the call, but I just wan't able. I created a blank Handwriting notepad and started writing, but it catched like 50% of what i tried to write (3 lines with product variants, it's price and date of delivery). I don't know if it cathed my palm instead or what. And Text style notepad where I was expectiong the recognition to be instant so that I could use it on meetings? No way. You write a line of 6 or 7 words and wait 2-3 seconds to have it recognised and inserted to the notepad. You lose a half the notes and the meeting just waiting for the text to be converted. A few times the line was being recongised, but it probably failed and I didn't get te recognised text and the original hand written text was lost as well.
    Another thing I didn't like was that you write a few words, wait to be recongnised and inserted but unless I pressed space button, the editor didn't make a space between the last, already inserted word and the new first word. This means, when I was writing on top or somewhere in the middle of the page, I had to move my hand to the very bottom of the screen, press space bar and the back to top and hope to lay the pen fitst so that it caught the beginning of a new word. Here a floating key could ne useful to place it closer to where you write but it doesn't work this way. Once you switch to the floating keyboard, you can't write on the page, but only into a small window, where you fit 1-3 words. Then have to wait for them to be recognised, inserted, you press the spacebar and write another 1-3 words and so on and on.
    Another strange thing, after this week of using it a half of the pen is gone. I don't know, if this is normal or not, but half of the pen is simply grinded off.

    Hi Kit, great channel and great video as always. I've been using a Rocketbook and although I like being able to take notes with pretty much real paper, use different color pens, etc... I don't like their app and how inflexible it is when it comes organizing the notes. Therefore I'm looking at eInk devices. I'm very intreagued with the Note Air 3C, Tab Ultra Pro and recently was even enticed by the Go 10.3 (but as much as I could consider giving up color, I don't think I can give up an SD card)
    I have two questions. 1.) I have an old Samsung Tab A tablet. If I want to test out my proclivity to actually use a tablet as a note taking apparatus with my current tablet, which app would you suggest that can give me a similar experience to how I would be working in a Boox ecosystem?
    2.) I've seen the way that notes are listed in a gallery type view,(large thumbnails) I was wondering if Boox can display in a detailed list type view. I basically would want my notes to be able to be displayed in a similar fashion as windows Explorer shows files and folders. Hopefully with a tree diagram on the left side. I find this method best for me to organize files?
    Thanks for any info and advise.

    Many thanks for this, very useful. I wish it were possible to be able to select just some text (not all) for AI handwriting recognition. I'd like to be able to mix and match, i.e. keep some handwritten notes but maybe turn titles etc. into printed text. You'd think that this might be easy with a combo of the lasso tool and text recognition but it doesn't seem to be.

    Nice quick tutorial. I've discovered that if I create a link to a note, but only use the icon option (not icon and title), then I cannot edit the target notebook - don't know if this is a bug. However, if I create a link in a note to another note, but use the "icon + title" option, then when I click on the link, and go to the other note, then I can edit it. Strange.

      I have had my NA3C for 3 weeks and actually haven't used it for this yet at all. I have enjoyed writing in it so much that I have been mostly using it for work to take notes in. And I have been "sharing" those notes to OneNote from the Boox N of the app which I find easier to use consistently. I also have downloaded some forms that I use daily for work and have been using NeoReader to annotate those and then "sharing" with OneNote as well. I have been pretty happy so far with the set up.

    @hakunamatatarr Před 6 měsíci

    Hey Kit, great video, also really useful for people who don't own a Boox yet and want to see the work flow! 2 questions:
    1) I love the idea of searching in the handwritten notes! How does that work in the exported PDF? For me the ideal scenario would be that the PDF looks like the handwritten note but is searchable and it is possible to just mark the text and copy it if I wanted to use it in typed text format (eg in Word). Also can any of the other platforms (Supernote, Remarkable) do that?
    2) I am particularly interested in working with scientific two-column PDFs. Could you make a video like this one for PDFs but comparing devices (for me the most interesting would be SN A6X2(A5X2), Boox NA3 and rM2)? I was thinking about the points
    Reading (how fast/ snappy can you open/navigate big PDFs; how to maneuver inside one page as in zoom, scrolling, keeping the zoom on the next page, ...),
    Annotating (what functions are available (also in comparison to a note); why is there a difference between using it as a template or opening the PDF in SN; are there colored pens for exporting; can you create your own TOC (ideally with a combination of handwritten notes and text already on the PDF); can you create extra margins in the same page as in rM; split screen, ...) and
    Exporting (what exporting options are there; how well does it work; how does it look on the computer,...).
    In the end it would be also cool to compare how much the battery drained during the process. I would love a video like that! Thanks!

I mean, if I have the recognition turned on, finish writing and leave the device standing by, will that note I made be converted and hence searchable? Or only if I explicitly request for recognition while with the note open? I’m asking this cause I’ve seen Kit more than once showing how global search takes a long, long time on Boox devices because it needs to convert all notes that were not yet converted. In my mind I was just “well, so just turn on the automatic background recognition, and it will never need to bulk convert.”

    Whoa!: "You can't read on other devices the Boox Notes file type." [10:18]
    WTF????
    You can't just gloss over that, Kit!
    If my Notes on Boox can't be read ANYWHERE ELSE on any other software, how do I export Notes into a PKMS? How can I actually USE my notes elsewhere?
    THIS IS CRUCIAL. Again: you just gloss over it! This was supposed to be a Note Taking Tutorial, yet there's no info on how to export my Notes into a Zettelkasten system like Notion, Obsidian, Lattics, EccoPro or InfoQube???
    You're a teacher, and generally pretty good at explaining stuff in your videos. Complete FAIL in this one. I get that you don't actually keep notes on Boox & use them, I guess. But surely you can put yourself in OUR shoes & work through the workflow, start to FINISH, to demonstrate how we'd use this hardware to get the job done.
    Please either edit this video to update it with that info, or create a new video that actually DOES explain how to use Notes you've taken on a Boox device.
    Boox appears to offer a terrific hardware platform with incredibly rich e-Reader software that, as you've demonstrated, enables users to take notes & associate them with files. You mentioned doing so with .PDF files. How about other book file types? Can I read an .epub book & keep notes? And crucially: how do I then export Bookmarks with associated Notes to my Zettelkasten system?
    One other request:
    I've seen numerous reviews of such hardware/software by RIght-handed reviewers who comment that palm rejection is great - no probs.
    NOT MY EXPERIENCE.
    I'm LEFT-handed. For some reason that makes a difference in many cases. For instance, handwriting recognition in OneNote on my Samsung Galaxy Fold 4 smartphone is pretty good, but jumps all over if I write more than a word or two, pretty obviously because of failed palm rejection. Switch to writing badly with my Right hand: no probs. I find the problem even more pronounced using OneNote on my Lenovo Tab X1 3rd Gen tablet (their version of Microsoft Surface). Admittedly, Windows is a crap tablet OS - which is why I am investigating Boox.
    But Boox isn't available anywhere to trial. So your reviews (some of the best) are not enough. Please try to address this - perhaps switch to your left hand & try there. And not just for sketching or drawing a few demonstration lines on screen (your typical demo): write a few lines of text please.
    Thank you.
