These are the applications you need to be an ace with the Apple Pencil
Do you want to take notes on your iPad or write down documents with the Apple Pencil? Well do not stop looking at what we have prepared for you, because it is worthy of an analysis. Whether you need to take handwritten notes, write down documents, record audio, create notebooks, or even make your own sources, the App Store has a series of fantastic applications for taking notes .
Notes
The iPad's Default Notes application is a true writing and annotation program in itself, with iOS 11 adding text recognition search, online scanning and annotation, and drawing or handwriting. If you need something basic but effective , this is your application.
Notability
The application has an excellent interface full of tools to write, draw, annotate PDF files, create shapes, highlight, move objects, add audio, integrate photos and web clips and much more. You can choose between several styles of colored paper , share your notes with almost all the main services and print them, as well as import them from Dropbox, Google Drive, Box or a WebDAV service. Notability also ** offers support for iCloud sync ** and a complementary Mac application, since it works on both Mac and iOS. It is an excellent and well designed application if you want something a little more powerful than the default Notes application.
GoodNotes
GoodNotes is a cannon: it is less intuitive than any of the other applications, but it is full of some very valuable features.
For starters, GoodNotes offers an overwhelming selection of paper types for your digital notes, including lined, graphic, design and music notation, there are even advanced options that allow you to load custom templates . Moreover, most templates are available on different specific paper sizes if you would like to print. GoodNotes also offers a wide range of different styles and options. Like the other applications, GoodNotes supports writing and drawing with the Apple pencil using two different digital writing tools. GoodNotes has built-in handwriting search recognition . Although it will not automatically convert your writing to text, you can search any of them with good accuracy. If you are looking for a more extensive option than Notability, GoodNotes is a feature-rich application that is well worth downloading.
Microsoft OneNote
If you have a Microsoft account, OneNote is a good option. Microsoft has impressed iOS enthusiasts worldwide with excellent applications for iPhone and iPad, and OneNote is no different. Although you need a Microsoft or Skype account to use it, an Office 365 subscription is not required to edit documents . That said, OneNote is primarily designed to be an import repository that can share links with OneNote laptops with the public.
OneNote is a good note taking application and a general repository; You can write with the pencil add photos, audio, files, PDF files and links, transcribe mathematical equations or even create a calendar .
PDF Expert 6
If you are planning to annotate PDF and fill out forms on your iPad Pro, you can do one or two with Apple's built-in Markup extension on iOS 11 - but for more complete annotation tools, you will want a dedicated Application to help you. There are a lot of great ones, but the iCloud PDF Expert sync and advanced markup features make it fly to the top of my list.
You can open PDF files from iCloud or virtually any other online service with the application, fill out forms and sign documents, you can also work with a digital pen, a form tool, an underline, or a highlighter option. All these changes, after saving, are not only fully editable in PDF Expert, but in applications such as Adobe Acrobat , so you can switch from Mac to PC and vice versa with your iPad.
PDF Expert also allows you to edit the structure of PDFs: You can rearrange pages, delete sections, extract parts of the PDF and even add new blank pages to documents. Once you are done with a PDF document, you can even compress it with the built-in compressor and protect sensitive documents with a password.
MyScript Nebo
If what you need is the conversion of handwriting on the fly, Nebo is the best application there is. Forget about taking notes: If you want your scribbles to be converted to text, you will need an application that supports handwriting conversion . There are applications like this, which it does completely.
It is quite simple to use and offers a soft digital pen tool in various colors . In addition, users can add photo and video content, diagrams and equations along with handwritten or digital text.
The notes can be converted into a paragraph immediately, or if you prefer, these conversions can be preserved. You can also export notes such as HTML, PDF or Word . Synchronization is available through the MyScript service itself, but unfortunately not in iCloud. Nebo is still the best app in the store for handwriting recognition.
