Pricing: Free with advanced plans starting from EUR 6.99/month Top note taking apps that work with both Android and iOS 1. Let’s explore what each app offers to find the perfect one for you. Some are a visual treat, others have an uninspired color palette. Some limit themselves to typing-based note taking, others let you record your voice, write by hand, and add photos. All in all, a very useful feature, which I recommend.Some of these apps are packed to the brim with features, others are super minimalist. Plus the ability to search your notes later is icing on the cake. If you’re the type who loves technology, but prefers to take notes by writing them down, this is a great new feature for Evernote. In the example below, I’ve searched for the term groovy and my note was easily found. And as long as your handwriting is intelligible for it, you can find your notes when you need them. Evernote has Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for this. Now, here’s another cool thing – a few minutes after your notes are synced, they will be searchable.

You can also use different pen thicknesses, as well as four colors. You can use the eraser to, well, erase what you don’t want to keep and even select portions you want deleted – you have dedicated buttons at the top of the screen.

If you want to scroll up and down, you’ll need to hold two fingers on the screen (because, obviously, one finger will be considered handwriting). Now you can use your finger to do the writing, or a capacitive stylus which are affordable and can be purchased in packs from Amazon. Then, tap the plus sign at the top right side of the screen and find Handwriting.įrom now on, when you want to use the handwriting feature while using Evernote, just type the dedicated icon. If you don’t already have it installed, you can get it from the Play Store here. Start by firing up the Evernote app on your Android device and creating a new note. Anyway, this feature makes it easy to take notes the old-fashioned way…sort of. you can’t doodle, or make notes unique, that your brain understands without actually writing them. Some people find using a keyboard to be a tedious process and I can relate a little.

Handwritten things definitely have their charm and there are people out there that find it easier to write stuff down for their notes.
