On my Note 10.1 2014, the SNotes are integrated into Evernote
This works well for me as I can see my notes on other devices.
Does the S3 offer anything similar? How do you get to view notes on PC for example?
I´m working with Evernote. The new Evernote-App recognizes the S-Pen once it is used to draw with and then doesn´t take the hand as an input device any more. So I can rest the hand on the screen while writing. Evernote syncs with all devices.

Hi, can you please clarify? I have evernote premium as well. I am able to write in the note with spen ( not in the keyboard area) only if i chose new note handwriting. And even then, any touch with my hand still draws on the note.
I would like to be able to write in any normal note with spen, whenever required, and my hand touch to be disabled.

I am not talking about the keyboard area.
When I open a new handwriting note, I can use the finger. But when I touch the screen once with the S-Pen the app discards the finger touch and it takes ths S-Pen as Input device only for that note.
BTW:
When I don´t have to sync inbetween devices, but use a notepad for writing a whole seminar instead and share it later with Evernote, Onenote oder PDF, I´m using LECTRURE NOTES. Since years this app recognices active pens (to be enabled in the settings) and it can be used like the old paper, with hands resting on the screen while writing. Some years ago on my Note 10.1 this app was the only way to do that (Evernote didn´t recognize the S-Pen), but now Evernote seems to have changed it
Thank you for the answers. I am still unsure about the level of integration between SNote and Evernote on the S3. On the 2014 edition handwritten notes in SNote are automatically copied to Evernote and hence synced across devices. As I find SNote much easier to use for recording handwritten notes, I really appreciate the syncing feature of Evernote that allows me to view these notes on other devices. My question is does this still exist on the S3 or has it gone?
If I have to just use Evernote then so be it but I would much prefer to keep using SNote for handwriting and then rely on Evernote to synch. Regards.
I did a bit of digging and discovered the S3 doesn't support SNote. It has another app called Samsung Notes. This doesn't appear to have any Evernote integration at all and can only be synced using Samsung cloud (which IME is useless) and Google Drive which might work but wont help viewing the notes on other devices. At least with Evernote you could actually see your handwriting in the SNote if not edit it.
Looks like you have to use the native handwriting in Evernote if you want cross platform compatibility now. Samsung really like messing around with stuff and breaking the link with their users. I will look at IPad Pro 10.5 very carefully now.

You can install S note on your tab S3

Try OneNote. The pen works with hand block detection.

Hey, I have a Samsung Galaxy S which I intend to use as a note-taking device for my classes in college. I am buying a bluetooth keyboard and stand for it so that typing will be fast but need advice on which office suite or app is the best for that usage?
I have ThinkFree Office preinstalled and it works fine but I was wondering if there's something better. I need it to be able to:
Read: Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Pdf documents
Create: Word documents
Easily sync with my computer/laptop.
Anything better than ThinkFree Office?
Looking for the same thing anybody know?
Try QuickOffice...
For sync.. there's nothing as far as I know...
(BTW Sorry for my english, it isn't my native language)
For taking advanced text based notes, use Quickoffice or Polaris office (I have it on my SGS2)
And for notes having photos, notes, recordings etc, I had made a list of some note taking apps here. Do tell me if you found any one of them which suits your needs.
definitely evernote... it saves your notes automatically and backs them up online and you can access them from any device or computer its pretty sweet
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
Iain
Anyone know?
Thanks
Cam
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!
Josh

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.

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.
Hi all.
I've been using Samsung Notes as a student for about a year and a half and it's a great app.
However, some people I know (iPad users mostly) use some apps that allow automation backup to Google Drive, allowing them to:
1. makes sure your notes are safe in case something happens
2. watch their notes on their PC easily, everywhere.
Samsung notes only allow backing up to Samsung Cloud\One drive. Both are unreliable and it's never clear whether the sync is actually working properly or not.
In addition, there is no option to watch your notes on your PC.
I was wondering if there is any way to force Samsung Notes to backup to Google Drive, or if there is an app that is as good for note writing while allowing automatic backup to Google.
I'll appreciate any help!
I stop using Samsung's note app after having to hand copy/paste S Notes to restore them because Samsung didn't allow them to integrate to the newer app
SmartSwitch can probably back them up, but never trust SmartSwitch with critical data!!!
I use ColorNote now the backup bookmarks, to create notes, save articles, etc. Multiple backup options including Google drive (I believe) and to the SD card. You can firewall block the app itself and hyperlinks will still open from links in your notes on it.
However it's not compatible with the spen for hand writing notes.

As far as I know, there is no way to back up Samsung Notes to Google. There is a Samsung Notes app for Windows. It's OK. It works better on Samsung Windows laptops than non-Samsung.
I've synced Samsung Notes to OneDrive with no issues. To be clear, I use OneNote more than Samsung Notes though.
Supposedly, Evernote can back up to Google. Your other option is Google Keep.
I haven't used Evernote in years, and have never used Google Keep. So I don't know how well they work.
Since you're more into the Google ecosystem, Google Keep is probably the better option.
Update:
There is no Google Keep app for Windows or Mac. To use it on a Windows or Mac, you have to use the web version, which seems ok.
I think I am going to stick with OneNote as my note taking app. It got me through my bachelors and masters degrees.
