Let's first discuss the advantages of recording electronic cards over handwritten paper. The convenience of electronic cards only appeared after the popularity of smart phones. Electronic cards can be stored in cloud notes or sent to Weibo and friends circle. The advantage is that it can be recorded at any time and is convenient to share. We will always carry our mobile phones, so it is more convenient to use all kinds of debris to output time. With the development of voice input technology, we can directly use voice input to complete a card in a very short time. In addition, the natural full-text retrieval function of electronic card has outstanding advantages in search.
Handwritten paper cards are a long-standing method because there was no electronic card before. But it also has some advantages that electronic cards don't have. The process of handwriting is slow, but it is this slow process that will strengthen thinking and deepen memory. Handwriting is emotional and can produce different effects in different States. Handwritten cards can be modified and superimposed, and the modification process can be seen intuitively at the same time. Handwritten cards can be placed directly in the book as bookmarks, directly linked to the book, and used as clues to guide the process of rereading. Cards can also be placed on the table to guide our thinking with different arrangements and combinations, which has great advantages over the approximate linear presentation of electronic cards. In this way, different books and cards from different angles can be compared together, and the moving mode has very low mental load on people.
So can handwritten cards make up for the shortcomings of electronic cards? Nowadays, many people introduce the use of cloud notes to complete the electronic process, so as to meet the needs of carrying, searching and sharing. If the handwritten character recognition technology is mature, handwritten cards can be directly converted into characters, and full-text retrieval can be realized.
Therefore, we can combine the two methods and give full play to their respective advantages. After writing, the electronic card is printed into an ordinary paper card, which facilitates the modification and arrangement of bookmarks and annotations and promotes associative thinking. However, there may be a lack of corresponding tools and software at present, and the resistance will be even greater. If there are many people with this demand, maybe this is also an opportunity. Doing a software service to realize the corresponding function may also have a market, which requires me to further practice and understand the card reading method.
