• #1 How To Take Notes |...
This second part will explain what page templates and colours I use along with the tools i use to take my notes. I will also be showing tutorials of how to import images, PDFs (and convert PowerPoints to PDFs). In general this part will show you guys how you can go from lecture PowerPoints into useful, aesthetically pleasing masterpiece notes which are easy to revise from.

I am getting this for taking notes for computer science/math. It's coming tomorrow and I am so excited!
Happy for you:D Hope it does you well:)
How was it ???*
One of the few videos that actually showcases the notetaking process with these devices. Thanks and good luck with your studies!
Thanks so much for the support!🙏❤️
Thank you for sharing this! I am a biomedical masterstudent and I made the decission to taking notes on a tablet to save more paper for the environment. This samsung notes app works great for me!
Thank you for watching! Completely agree with you, Samsung Notes is fantastic! 😁
Thank you, for sharing your tips and tricks to Samsung notes. I use my note app for my Bible study and on occasion I made it a little special with photos or messages. Watching you create a note from a lecture makes me even more excited to create something different in my notes. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching! Really nice to hear you are also creating notes with samsung notes, its so underrated!
@@HSTVoffcial You are very welcome. Yes I agree ☝️ it’s so underrated. I recently came from Apple to Samsung and I absolutely enjoy the note taking capabilities and experience with Samsung Notes. I wish you the best in medical school and I look forward to seeing more of your videos 😊
Thank you for the videos. I learned a lot while I was waiting for my S7+. I just discovered a really cool feature: You don't have to select the shape tool, just pause after writing your shape (line, circle, triangle, etc.) and it will automatically change the shape. Saves a few clicks! Good luck with Med School!
Thanks for watching! This feature you speak about actually came out in an update after I posted this video! Thank you for highlighting, I use it all the time:)
That was a really useful video thanks! I'm starting medicine this September and recently brought the tab s7
Thats great to hear, well done on getting into medicine. Goodluck:)
Great video. I hope your channel gets more attention. the content is very helpful.
Thanks so much, means a lot🙏❤
amazing video! Now I have a better look into samsung notes. can't wait to got my s7 plus
Great to hear! Thanks for watching:)
Thank you!!! Just got my S7, you helped me so much!
No worries at all, glad I could help:)
I just got my tab s7+ yesterday and really thank you for your review
Thanks so much for watching, glad my video helped:)🙏❤
Was it good ????
I use essentially the same setup, for the same reason, I am a student, and LOVE Samsung Notes. I have the Galaxy Tab S6, but I would love the Tab S7+. It didn't come out until I already had mine a year. One thing I do differently is when I want to change the style, I will ise the rectangle selection tool, select what I would like to chanve, and then choose "Change Style" from the pop up menu. This allows me to change the style of the entire block at once. I will sometimes change the line thickness and colour at the same time, depending on my need. The other thing might do is convert a block of hand written nites to tyoed text. But, if I use any typed text, I ALWAYS place it in a text box for easy manipulation. I find the typed text size of 8 to be the perfect size, and easily manipulatable. Love the video though, thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the tab and samsung notes!
I mostly go for the handwritten feature and not really the convert to text options, something definately i need to experiment with in the future :)
Glance on the S Pen. Multitasking at its best. You can do everything without leaving notes. Best feature ever for looking back at other documents or web pages.
Agreed:D
yaayyy i was waiting for this one !
Glad you liked it:)
I adore your content ! Hope your channel gets bigger and bigger , you deserve it 💯
Thanks so much, means a lot!🙏❤
Heyy , i have a question : do you have heating issues with your tablet ?
Sometimes near the keyboard attachment area on the screen but never anything serious. Its not been an issue for me, the tab has done really well considering I use it all day!
Hope this helps:)
@@HSTVoffcial Thank you so much for answering !
Thank youvery much for taking the time to make the video! It was very informative
Thank you for watching!!
Well done! Thanks for sharing, from Ontario, Ca
Thanks so much for watching!😊
You can also import protected pdf if you print on chrome, then import. This is very important becouse many pdf will close when u try to open if signed (protected). Good video
Thanks for watching! Also nice, thanks for the tip:)
Such a big help i love this
Thanks for watching!🙏❤
Very informative video! Good work! Would like to know is easy to drag & drop a photo from the photo app or internet browser to Samsung Note when doing note taking? Tab S7+ has a big screen. Is that practical if I separate the screen to half for Samsung Note and Internet browser at the same time, then I can easily drag & drop the info from the internet browser to my note (like what iPad did)?
Yes so you can open 3 apps at the same time and do multiscreening. Using the S pen tools you can take screen grabs and put them wherever you want:)
👌
Good job H.S. TV. I see you are a stickler for capitalization like me 🙂
😂
Aweesome video, thanks!
Thanks for watching!!
This is wonderful. Thank you so much. Words can't best express how this video made me feel right now. With this video, I'm going fully digital this semester. You introduced auto background erase, please you have to make a video to explain it in full. I tried playing with it but I wasn't able to erase the background of my picture, but that should be after the third notetaking video.
Thanks so much for the support! Means so much to me to hear such great feedback. I will for sure make a separate video on the auto background eraser app soon:)
Goodluck going digital:D
Thank you very much for your help
Thank YOU for watching!😁
Very useful . Thanks
Thanks for watching!
nice. this is what we call notes. many reviews i've watched they just wrote the whole page with paragraphs just like an essay 🤣
Thanks so much for watching!🙏❤
Hello H, forgive me I watched one of your videos earlier and I can't find it now but I saw your switching colours within in the Samsung notes app by either tapping the pen twice or clicking the button? Is this something built into the pen or did you have to set it up in the settings?
No worries at all! The feature is built in, make sure the pen is at a distance when you double tab. It should automatically change between your favourite pens:)
Hey I just had another question about the S7+ :) How do you find the aspect ratio compared to the ipad pro? I noticed the pro has a more square shape for looking at lecture slides in full without straining your eyes or zooming in and losing context, while the S7+ is wider and more "squished" so it fits video in 16:9 MUCH better with no large black bars. Is the difference something you'd notice often? Particularly with lecture notes?
I was actually considering buying the ipad pro vs tab s7+ before starting uni so I saw them both on display in a shop and honestly the ipad just looked too big for me. Like it didn't seem natural to hold i my hand and my eyes found it too 'up in my face' type feeling. The tab on the other seemed much more comfortable to hold and look at, not too big and not small either. For me the simple tab s7 was too small but im glad they came out with the plus model its a great option, the middle ground I was looking for.
Lectures are great to watch and annotate on, almost A4 sized so works really nicely!
Hope this helps:)
@@HSTVoffcial Super helpful! Thanks
@@HSTVoffcial super helpful!
Background Eraser - Thanks!
This is so true when the notes are clean and clear I feel like I understand more..... is this just me ?
Haha yup, same here! A lot of people say no point in making neat notes but I think it helps things go in better and looks attractive enough to look over again!😂
@@HSTVoffcial omg so trueeee, like if it ain't beautiful i don't want it 😭
Really enjoyed the way you arranged your notes. As a beginner to the S Pen and to Samsung Notes, are you able to show how you are cutting and pasting, etc. Is this all through the S Pen or are you using keypad? Also the same when you are copying from PDF is that using the pen?
Thanks a lot for watching! So I actually rarely use the keypad for note taking. S pen and my fingers are the main tools!
For importing pictures etc. to my notes I either do copying and pasting, thats by holding down on something and selecting the copy/paste option. Another way is to save things in your gallery and import them in and for this i use the s pen tools menu and select the screen grab option and from there I select what I want and then save to my gallery to import.
Hope this helps! I'll make a note to do a video on this as well:)
@@HSTVoffcial Thank you for the reply, I will have to play around with it more. Good luck with your studies.
Nice content!
Thank you!❤🙏
hey! thinking of getting the s7+ for note taking as well! have you tried importing really large pdf files (e.g. more than 50 slides) and annotating on them? how's the experience - does the quality of photos & text on the pdf suffer and does the app become laggy? thanks!
Everything works fine, ive imported large textbook pdfs and it was working great:)
U should try to split the screen between samsung notes and the other apps. I think u can split into up to 4apps. That should help I guess instead of changing apps
Try to split the screen between PowerPoint and samsung notes
Yup already do this on a daily basis actually😂 You can open up to 3 tabs at once, I normally have a video call, PowerPoint, and samsung notes all open at once:)
@@HSTVoffcial the life of a med school student tho😂😂
Thank you for this series really helpful. Have you found a way to use a A4 paper on Samsungs notes rather than the default small template?
Glad you've found it useful:)
I'll speak more about the A4 template in the 3rd part of the series. Short answer is no but I have a way around the issue:)
You can use any image u like
Hey, thanks for the great video!
Is the s7 plus portable? Do u prefer s7 plus or the regular s7?
Thanks for watching! Yes the s7+ is very portable, smaller and lighter than a laptop, easily fits in my uni bag and I can whip it out quickly during lectures:)
good luck for ur medical study
Thank you!
Hi do you have a microsoft subscription to edit the powerpoint? Thanks
Yes, you need Microsoft account and subscription to edit things. The only other way around this of doing it for free is the online versions of the Microsoft aps
Thank you! I was just wondering how you are able to see your notes on your pc? I can not download samsung notes on mine. Just wondering if you were able too.
I had the same issue actually! This link should help: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/after-updating-windows-10-still-get-this-app-is/1d0272a2-8420-4dfb-8891-837282093183
Thanks for helpful tips, Can i use the pen with Bluetooth turned off?
Yes of course:)
Hi , thank you for the videos, my notes (all typed ones) jump after pasting new image in samsung notes, I was wondering if you have any Solution for it?
I'm sorry to hear about this annoying incident, I personally haven't been typing many notes on Samsung notes, mainly because I think it excels at handwriting. If you're looking for a balanced typing and writing experience I'd recommend Microsoft's onenote instead.
Hey I slept on it and I've decided today I'm going to order my S7+ ! Do you have any recommendations for cases / screen protectors?? Is it important to get a paper-like feel case ? What did you go with? Thanks :)
Haha brilliant! Sooo I currently use samsungs keyboard book cover and no screen protector. That would be my recommendation as that's what I use but it can be expensive so you could try a cover off amazon and 3rd party keyboard.
Goodluck deciding and I hope the tab does you well:)
@@HSTVoffcial 🙌thank you loads
Can you tell me how to import secured PDF?
And also I feel my handwriting is not natural in Samsung notes compared to squid ,
how do you manage to have ur handwriting similar to that on paper ?
I think you have to unlock the pdf first and save it as a normal one before you can open it in Samsung notes.
Handwriting on the tab just takes a bit of practise, at first I found it a bit strange as well due to the lack of friction but have gotten used to it now. I'd say dont be afraid to rest you palm on the tab, the palm rejection is great and really makes your writing similar to on paper.
Also ill be doing a big showdown of android note taking apps including Samsung notes and squid. Keep a look out and stay tuned! 😉
How did you get samsung notes working on your PC? When I go to the windows app store I can't download it. I wanna try it out to see if all the same features from the android/tablet version are there but can't seem to find a way that works :(
It'd be great if you could be doing PDF annotations on the tablet that were synced with the lectures audio recording, then go to your PC to review those notes later with the same audio recording, annotations, etc. you had synced from the tablet
Everything syncs up great on samsung notes across tablet, pc and phone. I had a similar issue when trying to download the app on PC , the following link helped a lot:

Hope this helps:)
@@HSTVoffcial Ayyyyy tysm!
I have a weirdly specific question, how's the PC version of samsung notes? Are you able to easily interact with PDFs you've annotated on with the tablet? Like can you click and drag to select text with the mouse? For example, if you wanted to paste a bit of text like a definition from an annotated PDF in samsung notes, into a new document in google docs, would that be possible? Or is the text not selectable from PDFs in the W10 samsung notes app?
You can do everything that can be done on the tablet version. I'll be honest I dont really use the pc version that much.
@@HSTVoffcial Gotcha, main thing was if you can just click and drag to select text from PDFs while on PC, if that works I'm sold
I dont think you can even do that on tablet:/
@@HSTVoffcial No worries
Do u recommend to buy the bookcever keyboard the price is currently about 115$ , or should I get a random keyboard with a cheap case cover?
I mean its up to you, if you're buying the tab you might as well buy the keyboard book cover as well...
like its not outstanding, i was actually disappointed to find there was no back lighting..
Its good quality though and obviously made for the tab so has a good fit and look as well.
Nice👍
Thank you:)
Thankes for the video🌺 ..... A want asking you if you using dex or if u se it usefull 👍
Thanks for watching:)
I'll do a whole video about samsung dex. To be honest with you I've not explored it properly myself so its something I was wanting to look into anyway:)
@@HSTVoffcial Iam waiting 👍
Excellent
Thank you!🙏❤
It's really informative and useful vdo but still at the end I will go for the iPad air 4😋
Fair enough🤷♀️
Although I have to warn you, you could regret your decision...😌
@@HSTVoffcial I know lesser storage, and more payments, but I will pay one time but I wanna have the iOS experience and goodnotes 5💞.....and apple pencil is best in this platform and writing experience is best in ipad ....I have watched many vdos and now I have my decision.
Whenever I copy and paste, or take something to my clipboard to my and notes and try to change the color of the text, I am not able to change the color. Do you have a video on how to do that. If not can you make one. Thank you kindly.
I'm not sure you can do that actually:/
I'll see if there is a way and if there is ill do a video on it:)
👍🏻
Thank you:)
Hey, plz can u give me a advice actually I am a medical student and I m confused to buy samsung tab s7 plus or IPAD 11 pro for notes making and videos lactures . So plz guide me which one will b benefits for me ??
I actually made a video on this a while ago- czcams.com/video/Ra1bsaXIohc/video.html
Short answer- all depends on your current ecosystem of devices, both tablet and ipads are good for digital note taking and support at uni:)
Niiiice
Thank you!❤
Great job! Did I miss the link for the background eraser?
Thank you! The link is in the description😂
I'll put it here as well:)

You can export directly to pdf from your tablet. Just need to share it gives you the option either pptx or pdf, same with word. Then automatically pop-up app selection you can either choose create a note or samsung notes if you want it in a specific folder.
Thanks for sharing!😁
Hi mate wonderful video!! Thanks so much
Just try the explain a little bit slower in some parts !!! The rest amazing!!!
😅 Thanks for watching! Sorry for the fast talking, definitely need to work on that!
Just a tip, but to convert my PowerPoints into a PDF, i will download the PowerPoint onto my tablet and then use this website (https: //www.adobe.com/acrobat/online/ppt-to-pdf.html) to convert it to PDF. Then I just put that into my Samsung notes. I feel like this way would be easier and faster than the way you're currently doing it.
Thanks, I'll definately try it out:)
im sorry i wanna ask u something. is the shape tool can make a curve perfectly ?
Hi!
Unfortunately no actually:/
You can draw a circle but curves are not really possible i think, or at least a bit tricky to achieve!
@@HSTVoffcial i see, thank you :)
How I'm inspired by your videos. I'm a law student who uses your methods. Do you have the Note 20 smartphone? I believe that it would compliment your experiences to the fullest.
Thanks so much for the support! Means a lot to hear you are using my methods, doesn't matter what you study, good notes always come in handy:D
And no I unfortunately do not have the note 20, my mum is wanting one though!😆
@@HSTVoffcial what country are you in?
Scotland, UK
how often you change the pan tip ?
I'm not too sure as I've not changed the pen nib yet!😅
If you don’t mind me asking, were you privately educated?
The reason I ask is that I’ve heard UoE accepts mostly those who were privately educated. I am from France looking to study there, have great grades but wondering if this could be an impediment. Thanks!
Good question, im going to be doing a video on this topic actually. This is a big controversy, yes I did go to a private school but believe me, Edinburgh is looking for well rounded students regardless of where you went to school. If anything private school students are possibly lower ranked because some believe its easier for us to get opportunities (which i think is not true). As I say, this is a big debate, ill be doing a video on this topic soon. For now I'd say dont think about private/state schools, just focus on the main aspects of your application and I wish you the best of luck:)
@@HSTVoffcial thank you so much for your reply, it made me feel better.
Do you feel like there is much snobbery from private school students at university? I suppose everyone would be on the same playing field as they were accepted but it still is kind of off-putting to me.
I am looking forward to your video! I just subscribed to your channel :)
Thanks so much for the sub:)
Honestly everyone at uni is really down to earth, I genuinely can't tell which schools people are from. Its a really friendly community, everyone loves medicine and we all treat each other respectfully. Off course I can only talk about the course im doing, but I assume other courses will have a similar atmosphere.
@@HSTVoffcial thank you so much, truly. You’ve made me feel better!
Keep up the great work with your channel - perhaps one day I’ll see you on campus! ;P
No worries at all, there's so many misunderstandings surrounding this topic, ill definately make a video and address the debate.
And yes maybe you will see me around!😆
Hi,how is the dex mode,btw amazing content
Thanks for watching! Ill be doing a video on samsung dex very soon:)
@@HSTVoffcial yuup, waiting 👍❤️
How did you get samsung notes downloaded on your windows pc? I am trying to install it from microsoft and it says samsung notes is not compatible with my device. Thank you!
I had the same problem! I used this link: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/after-updating-windows-10-still-get-this-app-is/1d0272a2-8420-4dfb-8891-837282093183
This should hopefully work:)
@@HSTVoffcial thank you for the quick response but I tried and did not work, add to cart is not available, only redeem a code. this is frustrating and I will keep on looking, I will order s7plus and I will keep on watching your videos. You are great! Thanks a lot for your help. Hopefully I could find solution with this. =)
Sorry to hear the link couldn't help:/ Not sure what the issue could be..
Thanks so much for the support, means a lot🙏❤
@@HSTVoffcial I am able to install it! using phone. I signed in on both and tried getting it. on my laptop it was not available.
Then, Microsoft says, ok we are installing it on your device now. haha.
just want to give you an idea in case someone ask you again.
Ordering samsung s7plus now. Thanks a lot! gonna watch part 3 now. haha
Great to hear, thanks:)
You seem to be using the selection tool so quickly. Is there a trick or tip for that, or are you just selecting it so fast I can't see it?😄
Apologies, I try to fit a lot into 1 video so I have to time lapse things! I have a whole tutorial series on samsung notes coming out very soon, keep a lookout and I hope it will help to clarify things more!
I wanted to get a tab s7 but I think I'm gonna wait for the tab s8. Thanks for the video!
Nice nice, I wonder what the s8 will be like, cause s7 I brilliant:D
cant get notes installed in my laptop, do you use Samsung laptop?

@@HSTVoffcial sure thanks 😋
Do you have a family background from India??
Pakistan:)
Ok great. But how do I do this in iPhone?
Good point!! This channel is all about samsung, android, and windows. I have no experience with Apple devices and unfortunately couldn't recommend even any similar note taking apps:(
You can open excel on your tablet --> print --> save as pdf --> open samsung notes --> voila!
Thanks for this! I realised this method after making the video🤣
I had a total hip Arthroplasty 3 years ago 😁 so by the way ;)
Oh wow, there you go then! Hope its helped you:)
using black pages also saves battery power on a OLED screen

@@HSTVoffcial thanks a lot!!
Thank youu!
No worries, glad you liked it:)
I prefer iPad and use iPad pencil. With the pencil you scribble anywhere , where as for samsung you have to bring up samsung notes otherwise the stylus is useless
Thanks for this:) But actually to correct you slightly, we can also scribble anywhere with the s pen using the many options on the s pen menu:D
@@HSTVoffcial sorry. I did not know this. Maybe another video idea.
No worries, thanks for the suggestion:)
@@HSTVoffcial and with the update received in the last week, the tab will allow you to use the new s pen-to-text where you can write anywhere you have a text box or text entry, and your hand writing will convert to text. Very handy.
Yes I noticed this actually, its good to see samsung making improvements:D
