Hi,
I thought I'd seen something, somewhere that I could:
- go into the Notes applicaton
- hardwritten a shopping list (for example)
- sync to Evernote
- use Evernote for Windows to retrieve the documents from the cloud
- search for an item from the shopping list to reveal the document.
Something about this is all possible due to the way Evernote processes the image it can work out in some cases words. Now if that fantasy in my mind or is it that my handwritten on the Flyer is that bad that Evernote doesn't stand a chance?.
Thanks
Iain
I didn't check it now but Evernote search text also in handwritten notes.
If you are asking if Evernote will search your handwritten notes, the answer is yes. It does a pretty good job. I would say that it gets it right about 80% of the time even with my poor handwriting. The better you are at block letters, the better the results.

OK Thanks.
Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong then please?
Using 'Notes' I've created a new document and simply written "THE CAT SAT ON THE MAT".
I've allowed 'Notes' to sync with Evernote.
On my Windows PC, I've had Evernote on this sync, and it successfully picks up the new document. If I then use the Search feature it find no documents, unless the word I was searching for was typed, or contained in the insert header or footer (ie top in which reads "Note: This is a screenshot of the note that you created on HTC Flyer.").
I've attached to this post an image of the written document.
I'm only using the free version of Evernote account.
Any thoughts please?
Thanks
Iain
Worked for me. You may have to wait for Evernote to run the OCR if you're just on the free version. This search was done a day after writing the note.

After one day it worked for me.
Thanks all. I now understand and it's working.
I'd read in the Evernote instructions that the image would need to processed for searching, and that Premium users had priority.
I'd thought however that once the document was available within the Evernote client that this mean't that the search processing had occurred. In fact the document will sync almost immediately, but ( I think ) will later resync to update the search information.
As SciFlyer said, once it's working it does work rather well.
Thanks again

Not sure, yet you can DL the file of course. i use Polaris Office due to working easily with MS Office.
Can someone post the apk for this app? I want to use it on my Xoom.

Anyone else have any idea about syncing?
thanks

It sure does! I sync between my Jetstream, the web, my Windows laptop, and my rooted HTC Incredible.
I have HTC Notes and the Evernote Android App on my Jetstream. You don't have to, but they each have a couple cool features that the other doesn't offer... By the way, having both installed has not led to any conflicts with syncing as far as I've noticed. Here are the couple of cool features IMO...
HTC Notes on Jetstream:
Timemark recording - open or create a note > hit record audio > write down "need to verify the numbers he reported". When I review the note after the meeting, I can jump right to the section of audio that was recorded at the time I made a particular text or ink (scribe pen) entry.
Calendar linking - I can link a note to a calendar entry... This makes it easy to recall a note specific to whatever meeting I happen to be in. I can also create a new note from a calendar entry. This only links with my calendar on the Jetstream I do not see the linked item in outlook on my PC for instance. I can still find the note in Evernote on any of my devices though.
Android Evernote App on my Jetstream:
Notes does not have the format functions I've come to depend on in my notes. The android app has the basic text formatting features like Bold and font sizes. No big deal until you have to live without them... I use formatting to categorize things withing my notes all the time. When it all looks the same, I get lost in all the noise.
The android app also has more complex formatting like bullet points and... CHECK BOXES! No such thing as notes without action items and this has become a crutch for me!
On a side note... I've used an iPad2 and a Xoom and never found either to be the go-to device that I could take from meeting to meeting. They were great for checking email and accepting meeting requests, but my phone was better... and more discreet. This is the first time I feel like I've invested in a business enhancing tool vs, a fun media, web, etc. tool. My take. I can't wait till a decent case with integrated scribe pen compartment comes out!
Cheers!

Anybody know a calendar application with pen support?
Don't need to sync with google or anything like this. I just would love to be able to see a calendar like one of those paper wall calendars and be able to write notes on it with pen, draw, cross days etc. The usual stuff that people do with wall calendars. Ability to add reminders would be nice to have, but not super important.
I wonder if something like this already exists. If it doesn't, I think it will be a great idea for a creator of Quill. What do you think?

A desk calendar style app that allowed this would be super cool. I'd love to see it myself.
Apparently the note has something like this. It would just have to be ported.

I checked it out, but S planner is more like usual calendar app. It just works with note app to recognize the text (if it can) and import event into planner.
What would be cool to have is a month/week overview, where you could just tap on a day and make the entry in the calendar in a quill style. Just think of a paper calendar. Sometimes it is just nice and comfy to be able to draw and write a simple stuff in there. You could cross the days when you been sober, put smiley faces when you had sex, add handwritten notes to the past and future evens. At the end of the week/month you could take a quick overview and remember how you spent your time or do a report

Really good ideas, but for someone who uses their Google calendar, a totally new app like this would require me to switch entirely ...at which point, I'd likely have to use only my tablet for a calendar.
A tangentially related idea I had for this quill developper was a widget that you could place on your desktop and that could be scribbled on. That's a little like what you're asking.

You're right. An app like this will be for tablet only and will not have sync with google calendar (but maybe could be saved to evernote). If you're a busy person and everyday is booked, then usual calendar app is a lifesaver. In my mind though one shoudn't replace the other. Google calendar great to keep your appointments, birthdays and important dates and is accessible from any device. Notes can be entered there, but they sort of blend in the whole thing and they are not very natural. I find notebook is a lot easier to follow if you need to write and find something worth noting that happened one day or another. For example you have your appointment tracked in google calendar, it will remind you that you need to be there, you will go and meet people. Notes from the meeting are better kept is a separate notebook along with any sketches or anything like this, rather than google calendar. I could keep and organize those notes in several quill notebooks, but chronological order is lost, can't really enter an info, specific to a future or a past date, an overview for weekly/monthly report is not so simple.
Maybe it is better not to think of it as a calendar replacement, but rather a calendar book or a planner. Quill (or other note apps that I found so far) just don't have organization of a calendar (planner) and google calendar doesn't have functionality of a good notebook.

That's not what I had in mind at all. There is already a note app with a widget. It is a standard HTC note app. As a matte of fact it is the only widget that I have on my Flyer's desktop. It is not as good for writing notes as Quill, but it works and is easy to keep track of important information right on the android desktop. Evernote sync gives me ability to put that same important note on the desktop of my PC - works great as a sticky. I also use Color note on a phone, for those important stickies on a go (too bad there is no sync there)
I use both Quill and HTC notes. HTC notes are great for important stuff that I need to keep track of. Quill has replaced a general notebook for me and helped me to get rid of paper clutter. I love my Flyer. That's the first tablet that helped me to organize my messy desk.
i've only had my flyer for a couple of weeks but i agree that this is a brilliant idea.
it would be nice to scribble things in on certain dates and times.
i wish someone takes this idea up and runs with it
I am currently starting to develop for my flyer. At the moment doing a little paint app with pen support which behaves like a pencil.
From what I hear, you just want a plain paper based calendar and than use notifications etc.? So it could have a link to the normal calendar for those features. Should not a biggie. Will think abou that.
Nice idea .
So I have tested pretty much I'd say 97% of the office suite apps available for Android. I'm surprised by the fact that almost none support editing with the pen. Unless I am doing something wrong?
The only one I could get to edit via the pen was Polaris Office. However, after making changes and opening it up in Word 2010 the handwriting was there but fragmented so wasn't legible.
My goal is to be able to open up a document residing in Dropbox on the tablet, make changes so others can open up on PC and view. Have not been successful as of yet.
Anyone have luck with doing it another way? I haven't tried OnLive Desktop yet but not sure it allows the proper access.
**Edit....guess I should mention what I was originally trying to do was put my signature on a Word document so someone else could print it out of Dropbox instead of me having to print it and sign manually.
None of the office apps on the market has built in pen or signature function. You could make a note, save it as an image and paste it in. There are some PDF apps that have signature capability .

That is too bad. I know that ezPDF has added pen integration in. Guess I could convert the .doc to .pdf and then annotate if need be. Like I posted earlier Polaris Office did let me write on it and would work as long as I continued to view it on the tablet. Word is finding errors in the doc once opened but not sure why that is.
Signing an electronic document
The flyer comes with pdf viewer which allows you to electronically sign a document. Convert your word document to pdf and sign it with your pen through pdf viewer.

I can do that via ezPDF as well but was hoping for the ability to markup a Word document & save back into DB so a PC user could then open in Word and view the markups/signature and keep it editable. Since most users don't have anything besides Adobe Reader on their PC the pdf would have to be converted back again and would probably lose the formatting.
Oh well....dare to dream.
This might work for you. Works with Evernote / HTC note. I have not tried it.
RightSignature
http://ub.rightsignature.com/en8/
I do not think it is free
http://knoji.com/rightsignature-review-and-promo-coupon-code/
Here is an interesting article that basically points out that a document signed as you are attempting cannot be validated .
http://www.investintech.com/resources/articles/electronicsignatures/
Actually, the latest version of Adobe Reader allows you to create and add signatures to .pdf documents quite easily.
I thought I would share a productivity idea. Any ideas to expand on it or alternate more productive ideas are welcome.
Last night my wife started rattling off %^$^ for me to do today (Saturday) and it hit me: Write it down with the S-Pen. That set me on a journey to make this idea productive.
This is the result: In settings, I setup the Page Buddy and S-Pen to allow an "S Memo" popup to open on page Buddy whenever I extract the S Pen. This way I can instantly take notes as fast as possible. I realized the notes are saved in a proprietary file format (forget what it is - but its worthless if you want to access the note file anywhere other than the GN2). I then discovered Evernote which allows syncing of notes across platforms such as the GN2, desktop, tablet, etc.
SO, the workflow is to pull out the S Pen, write the notes, then select "share via" under the menu key, select PDF, then select Evernote. Done. Your note is now a PDF file saved under Evernote and synced across devices. Please note - you cannot use the "sync [to Evernote]" option in S Memo because all that will do it sync the actual note to Evernote in its native file format and Evernote cannot open it. You must do the "share via" method.
This seems to be the fastest way I found to take handwritten notes on the GN2 and make the notes available cross-platform.
It would be nice if we could use the S Pen direct into Evernote. Maybe one day.
Anyway thought I would share that wisdom. As I said open to modifications to this idea.
Adam
Thanks for sharing. Can you edit the PDF in Evernote?
I don't use Evernote, and have only given it a quick look. I use Astrid because of the reminders, and the ability to set multiple and periodic reminders for tasks. I just did some searching on the Evernote site and saw that earlier this year they said they are working on adding reminders, and were hoping for a release this year, but didn't have anything more specific. If they can add similar reminder functionality to Evernote, this could be really useful for me.
Thanks for sharing. I use Evernote all the time, and that sounds like one of the best ways to get handwritten S-Note stuff in there right now.
When I had the HTC EVO View with the Scribe pen (pretty much the same thing as the S-Pen, except larger), the native HTC memo app was actually a special version of Evernote. You could log in with your Evernote account and everything synced automatically. It would be nice if Samsung could do something similar to integrate Evernote into S Note.
---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------
You can also share it has an image file to Evernote as well. PDFs don't open in the Evernote app (although opening them in another app really isn't much of a problem), but images do. Just depends on what someone is looking to do.
Hello dear community,
I am looking for this for quite a while.
Is there an app that will allow me to create my own cloud based dictionary? I want to improve my language skills through creating my own dictionary.
The dictionary database has to be editable online (web based), since I would like to be able copy/paste detailed definitions from different web dicts.
And of course a sync-able android app that will allow me to check some words on the go or learn while in the train
"Now" dictionary is getting pretty closer to what I wish for, but it's only available for smartphones and no browsers.
"Anki cards" is cool too, but they focus on the flip-cards learning feature which I don't frankly need. I will be completely happy with a super simple searchable custom dict.
There are some apps that allow to create custom dict file and then upload it to the SD or whatever and use it. But I want to be able to add words constantly (web or on the go)
I'm thinking - there definitely is such an app, its just me who fail to search of it properly so please help )
cheers,
Kalin
Hi there!
I would like to encourage you to check out the Spreadsheet Memo app: http://spreadsheetmemo.com
Spreadsheet Memo is a flashcard-based learning web application (combined with the power of Google Sheets to store your content) that allows you to quickly memorize things.
Flashcards can bear vocabulary, major historical dates, chemical element names, math/physics equations or even types of dinosaurs
Simply put, any subject matter that can be learned via a question-and-answer format.
You can use it for your study, as a preparation tool, knowledge check for one of your exams or to practice new vocabulary.
Sky is the limit!

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UReSmwT4O9E (everything you need to know about the Spreadsheet Memo app in one video)
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SpreadsheetMemo (news, helpful tips and updates notifications)
Twitter: https://twitter.com/SpreadsheetMemo
Example Document (updated with every new release; provides the examples of how to use the new Spreadsheet Memo features)
Chrome Web Store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/spreadsheet-memo/kkanmehahohgnfcncalgknpbnaiaomeb (you can add the Spreadsheet Memo to your Chrome Apps for quick access - this app is free, no ads and no hidden costs)
The main features and the main goals of the Spreadsheet Memo are:
It helps you to memorize things: and it works! Every lesson is composed with two rounds. The goal of the first (initial round) is to check your brain memory's performance (you reveal the answer and subjectively define its difficulty by choosing one of the following: "I knew it" or "I didn't know"). The second round (final round) is to make sure that you have remembered the new or troubling things. The progress of the current round is presented by the progress bars located near the Question/Answer cards.
Ability to use the Google Sheet documents to store your data: with all the benefits of Google documents like sharing, editing, printing, etc.
Compatible with mobile devices: you can use it on your computer but also on all kinds of your mobile devices. You're not bound to one device. So, whenever you've got some spare time, start the new lesson. You just need a web browser!
Multiple documents: you can use as many different documents as you want. All according to your needs! You can even use the Named Ranges feature offered by Google Sheets. This is a very useful way for slicing your Spreadsheet Memo documents to a smaller parts and describe those parts with friendly names.
Responsive: no unnecessary pages loading - clean, quick and simple.
You can add links and images to your content: sometimes the words are just not enough. You can add an image or a link to the internet resources to enrich your content. It could be especially useful when you prefer some additional visualization for being able to remember things quicker and better.
You can enrich your content by using Wiki Markup - supported types are: Text formatting, Indent text, Lists, Sections, External links, Images and YouTube videos.
You can add mathematical equations or formulas using the TeX or AsciiMath notation.
Your documents stay with you: by using the standard Google Sheet documents you're able to review and edit their content even without the Spreadsheet Memo app.
Secure and safe: all of your documents belongs only to you, no personal info is shared or collected, all connections are made with secure https protocol.
No ads or hidden costs: it's all for free!
Your privacy is very important and you have the right to remain anonymous.
The Spreadsheet Memo was build on the foundations provided by Google (Google Apps Script: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/) and uses all the benefits of this platform, such as:
integration with Google services (e.g. Google Sheets)
single sign-on (you don't need to remember yet another login/password. Let the Google manage and provide access to other apps, like the one to the Spreadsheet Memo app)
built-in security, stability, scalability and efficiency
This app uses the Google Authorization. Thus, when first launched, the Spreadsheet Memo will need your authorization to run. You can read more about it here: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/services/authorization You don't need to know all about this - the most important info is that your email, login, password or any other personal info will NOT be passed to the Spreadsheet Memo. They will always remain your property.
Your approval of permissions will let the Spreadsheet Memo operate properly and with full capabilities.
And I'm fully aware that all the permissions might look pretty scary at first glance. And that is exactly why I've written all of this - trying my best to make you feel safe and making sure that you are well informed.
So, let me explain those permissions:
View and manage your spreadsheets in Google Drive, View and manage the files in your Google Drive - for being able to find the Spreadsheet Memo documents. This app operates only on Spreadsheet Memo documents, it has no access or even isn't aware of the existence of any other of your Goggle Drive files.
View and manage data associated with the application - for being able to store your preferences using the user properties (those preferences are private and are connected specifically with your Google account)
Allow this application to run when you are not present - for being able to run this app without additional login prompt, when you're already logged into your Goggle account - just to save your time (standard behavior of Google related products)
Know who you are on Google - standard permission to recognize you as a google user (no information is processed or collected)
View your email address, Send email as you: for being able to send you the welcoming mail (with short summary and information about your current Spreadsheet Memo assets). And the best part is that this email will be sent from your account to your account, never leaving your own context. So your email address, as well as your identity, will stay hidden and secure.
And If you don't like this app (something that, I hope, is unlikely going to happen ) you can always revoke its accesses (uninstall it). There are two ways to do this:
Just follow the instruction from https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/services/authorization#revoking_access_rights
or you can use the Uninstall option provided in the mail that you will receive from Google. It will be sent right after the first launch of the Spreadsheet Memo app. Look for the mail: "More information about Spreadsheet Memo with uninstall instructions." in your inbox. Any documents that you've created will stay in your Google Drive, nothing will be lost.
Wrapping things up: remember that all of your documents belongs only to you, you can uninstall this app any time you want, no personal info is shared or collected, your identity (such as email) is and will remain your own property. From the Spreadsheet Memo point of view, you're anonymous.
You can find some additional info about the Spreadsheet Memo at the https://www.facebook.com/SpreadsheetMemo page - including news, helpful tips and updates notifications.
I've been using flashcard-based apps for quite some time (Super Memo was great!) and I've found them very useful. But every one of them had some things that just doesn't work for me (e.g. troubles with data migration, lack of support for mobile devices, no statistics, etc.) - so I've decided to write my own.
One line of code to another and the idea transforms into something with its own domain name and Facebook/Twitter page.
So, feel free to check it out. And if you have any thoughts about it (like/dislike, opinions, reviews, ideas) please leave a comment. Thanks in advance for any feedback!
