First, handwriting:
The advantage of writing notes by pencil is that you can directly digitize the notes, which is convenient for sorting and management. However, the disadvantage is that the experience is still not as good as paper money (you can stick a paper-like feel film on the iPad, which will improve the feel a lot). Two handwriting applications are recommended:
nondeterminacy；uncertainty
Its biggest advantage is that it can turn writing into recording, and the written notes are synchronized with the recording, that is, when playing back the recording, you can see what information you have written in your notes at this time, which is very convenient, especially suitable for taking notes and user interviews, and the writing feels good. It also supports multi-note split-screen writing and PDF annotation, handwriting search (supporting Chinese), handwriting to text, and iCloud synchronization.
Good notes
The handwriting search function is better than notability, and you can open multiple notes in the form of tabs. Other functions are similar to notability, but there are some differences in details: for example, the way to view notes, goodnotes is displayed in a notebook, and notability is in the form of a list; Methods of drawing regular patterns; The difference between paper and notes and so on.
Notability has updated many new functions in the latest version, making up for the original shortcomings. Personally, I think popularity is more cost-effective.
A detailed comparison shows: Notability or goodnotes?
Second, the keyboard input
There are many note-taking software for keyboard input: bear, paper, onenote, word, Evernote, self-contained memo, etc. Are all good text input software. However, I think that for the iPad, the two most important points of the note App experience are: 1, which can be recorded anytime and anywhere and can be viewed and modified at different ends. 2. markdown can be supported, because it can quickly set the text typesetting format while recording, without touching and clicking to modify the layout. To sum up the above two points, Bear is the most convenient note App I use at present.
bear
Bear's current Chinese name is Bear's Paw, presumably to better open the China market. Bear's multi-terminal synchronization needs to subscribe to pro. I remember that it is 108 yuan a year, which is quite cost-effective. It is more suitable as a tool for writing and taking notes. Bear's management method is to label every note, which is very different from other note apps, but it will be ok if you get used to it.
Evernote (Evernote)
The well-known note App has declined in recent years and supports multi-terminal synchronization. However, if you don't buy a member, you only support the monthly traffic limit of 50M for two terminals, and you still need to buy a member to a large extent. Evernote is a very suitable service for archiving notes, documents and materials. You can store better web page consultation, contact business cards and purchase receipts in the cloud through Evernote, and become your personal electronic brain. Its text editor is not as easy to use as Bear, so I want to use it more to store notes, archive and collect data.
