How do you like it for note taking? Does it convert handwriting to type? That is one of my dream features that I've yet to hear has become robust

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I prefer to keep my notes as handwritten (I draw a lot of diagrams and graphs in my notes). But it does indeed convert my handwriting to type if I want it to. And it does a great job of it especially with how messy my handwriting can be.

The feel of it is very comfortable too (feels like writing on paper). I used to use a Surface Book in tablet mode for notes, but wanted to get away from Microsoft. The screen of the Note 3C isn't smooth, it's textured like paper

Their note app takes some getting used to, but it works pretty well (templates are a little tricky, but they just made an update to improve it).

The only thing I really miss from OneNote on the Surface was printing PDFs into OneNote. That said, you can annotate directly onto PDFs, it just makes things a little less organized unless you use the PDF as a template.
