iPad viable option as note taking device?

That explains a lot of things

Yours is beautiful! I write a different handwriting depending on my mood, drastically different.

And your analysis is correct given that I've been waiting for my new ipad all week like a 5 year old

lol no, I write like a doctor. I found that on google images. IT WORKED!

My favorite app for doing this in school, Noterize, was bought by nuance and removed from the app store so bollocks to that. I really liked that app too.

You can still get it, but its called Paperport now, rebranding of the same app since Nuance bought it out.

You wont see anyone in graduate school using an ipad to take notes. In pharmacy school, everyone is 'required' to have a laptop. You need to multi-task and that cannot be done on ipad.

I am in graduate school and I do use my iPad for note taking. Used to use my MacBook air but preferred the portability of the iPad and sold the MBA.

iPad, using Pages and a smart cover works really really well for taking notes in a lecture.

Awesome thanks.

Oddly I already had this on my iPad.. Not sure where the mental block came in =)

I have a friend who experimented using an iPad only just for taking notes, last semester. He told me that it was fun to use, but that he ended up going back to his laptop, as he can type faster.

Personally, I have a MacBook Air which works great for note taking. It does weigh more (only by a little), but I guess I'm just a creature of habit.

suggestion

I use my iPad to take notes thanks to applications like Evernote and Beesy.
Evernote, i think everybody knows. Beesy is a smart note taking app. You can take notes and also record key moment thanks to timeshifting feature. You can take note on the audio file. It's really interesting.
After taking notes you can manage them . I think it's a note taking app for business but try it

Good luck

I think you can take notes on iPad but if it is like someone is dictating to you, the speed is lost, you just cant match up to the speed of writing to match the rate at which the person is dictating. It is slow, lousy but works !

iTakeNotes

They are plenty of apps to take notes on your ipad but very few are really productivity apps able to generate structured reports. Writing down meeting minutes or meeting reports is a painful process which is time consuming.

iTakeNotes has been released on the appstore recently: the principle is to formalize notes during the meeting and get a meeting report as soon as the meeting is over in pdf and in .txt if you want to review the format. They provide audio recording and camera so as not to lose any data during the meeting. The app exists in english and french and a spanish version is on its way, it is a very productive tool for those who spent desperate time formalizing their meeting notes.

Hi everybody,

I'm starting an "experiment" about iPad vs pen and paper. I'm going to try to replace pen and paper in all my classes (I'm an industrial engineering student).

This is the blog where I will be writing and commenting my experience.
