The Apple Pencil is not only a professional drawing tool but also a harmful " note-taking weapon" on iPad, especially for students and office workers.
If you own an Apple Pencil but haven't yet fully exploited its potential, here are a series of tips to help you take notes faster, more scientifically and more effectively every day.
1. Combine Apple Pencil with powerful note-taking apps
However, the Notes app on iPad has supported the Apple Pencil very well, allowing handwriting, coloring, sketching and converting handwriting into text. However, for a higher-end experience, you can try GoodNotes, Notability or Nebo.
These apps support thu muc classification, adding note-taking, iCloud synchronization, and even handwritten search.
2. Take advantage of iPadOS's Scribble feature
The Scribble feature allows you to write handwritten with Apple Pencil to any text entry box, from Safari search bar to messages, and the system will automatically convert to text.
This is an extremely fast way to type content without a virtual keyboard, very useful when in a meeting or class.
3. Use double tapping to quickly move tools
With Apple Pencil 2, you can customize the double tap on the center of the pen to switch between writing and erase, or display a toolkit.
Go to Settings > Apple Pencil to configure this function to your usage habits.
4. Organize notes with clear colors and titles
Use a variety of colors, markers, and create large headings to make your notes easy to read and easily find later. Applications like GoodNotes also allow adding tabs to filter content by topic or date.
5. Charge and protect Apple Pencil properly
Charge the Pencil at the right time (when there is about 2030% of the battery) and use a safety deposit or anti-slip grip to avoid breaking. In particular, you should regularly clean the hook to keep the sense accurate when writing.
The combination of Apple Pencil and iPad can turn notes into an intuitive, creative and inspiring experience. With the above tips, you will turn a seemingly simple feel-good pen into a smarter learning and working tool than ever.
