However, not everything is rosy in PenSupremacyland: Users say the app’s handwriting recognition can be sluggish and inaccurate, and there is no Undo option. The ability to import pictures into pages is another plus, as is voice dictation for audio notes.
The app works on Android phones and tablets, for one thing, and it can export PDFs of your notes via email, Evernote, Facebook, and various other means. PenSupremacy (Android, $1.49): PenSupremacy offers a little more flexibility than Antipaper Notes.
Writing appears quickly and flawlessly, but Antipaper Notes has some notable drawbacks: The number of pages is limited in the free version, and notes may only be exported as PNG or JPG image files (not PDFs) via email. The attractive-looking app mimics a real notepad and sports a wide variety of page and pen types. Hordes of happy Android users say that Antipaper Notes is the best tablet-optimized handwriting app available for Google devices - and the basic version is free. Exporting a PDF of a note to Evernote lets Evernote’s excellent optical character recognition technology shoulder the burden.Īntipaper Notes (Android tablets, free $5.49 upgrade available): Not every tablet sports Apple’s iconic logo. It also adds Evernote support, which compensates for its inability to turn notes into editable text, a major flaw of most handwriting apps. Like Notes Plus, Penultimate packs numerous note-sharing tools and plays nice with Dropbox. It lacks audio support, PDF import options, and multitouch capabilities, but the handwriting recognition is crisp and responsive. Penultimate (iPad, 99 cents): If you don’t need the extra features of Notes Plus, Penultimate is a highly regarded - and cheap - handwriting app that also happens to be an iPad exclusive. The only major downside is that it’s currently an iPad exclusive. Notes Plus doesn’t skimp on the extras, either: It offers audio note support, sharing, PDF import/export capabilities, and automatic Dropbox synchronization. Its powerful handwriting-recognition engine parses scrawl by fat fingers and slim styli alike, sharpens hastily drawn shapes, and enables you to edit notes or drag-and-drop whole sections to other areas. Notes Plus (iPad, $7.99): Few handwriting apps can top Notes Plus. That’s a shame, because discreetly jotting down shorthand during a critical client meeting trumps pounding away at an awkward virtual keyboard every time.įortunately for inveterate stylus lovers, a bevy of handwriting apps offer bells, whistles, and the ability to scribble all over your smartphone or tablet until your hand cramps. The funny thing about Evernote and other so-called note-taking apps: Most don’t support note-taking of the actual handwritten variety.
