Thank you, I appreciate that. Nice. What have you used it for? I think once I decided what content I would keep in my rM, it has been easy to recall what I'm looking for quickly. For the person who's struggling with paper notebooks, they may continue to struggle with digital notebooks as well if they don't have a filing system. Hope they can create their own organization.

@@Monsty it's literally part of my life - I call it my "brain extender". I simply use it for replacing my (usually well organized) paper notebooks. Note: I use ClickUp for my work To-Do list, and I initially put all my Home To-Do in there as well. I love it for work, but it never worked for home. Six months after using the rM heavily, I'm like, "Hey, let's put my To-Do list in here", and it's amazing - - - I will be doing a post on this in a couple of the rM FB groups. Finally, for many years I had a daily Bible reading program in OneNote, that I dutifully used, mostly on my phone. Then, I'm like - "Hey, I should put this on the rM", and I created my own "template" (.pdf) and I love it. The phone times out too quickly. So I use my phone less and less (as well as the computer less and less) and the rM more and more. It's always with me! Finally x2, I use it to write letters. So I can start a letter, put it "aside", then come back and pick it up right where I left off. Finally x3, I do free webinars for people struggling, and I have your videos linked in my "Help" document. Cheers! 😁

@@clovismelo8551 That's a tough question! If you're marking up a document that you had imported into your rM2 and started highlighting, underlining, etc. then want to print out the final result, I think that should be fairly easy. You could use the desktop app or potentially email it to yourself. To be honest, I haven't printed anything out yet because I prefer to keep things electronically. I found a lot of value in having my physical notebooks in college. The only caveat is that I wish I had notes from certain classes accessible 10+ years after the fact!

Hi, very interesting YTvids on the rM2 ! some questions : 1/ is it possible to elaborate more on how handwritten notes & diagrams/sketches are converted to "digital text" ? 2/ also it would be interesting to see how rM2 notes can be integrated in Windows/MS O365 /MS OneDrive - environment. Is it only done by the emailing function or is there a direct transfer (via USB ?) possible between rM2 and PC ? I am looking for an integration of my handwritten notes into my MS Office workplace, preferably without using dropbox or any subscription to rM2 servers. 3/ is that a replaceable protective film on the rM2 work surface ?
@Monsty
@Monsty 2 жыл бұрын
Great questions! 1. Yes, I'm making Part 2 right now and I go over the note to text conversion along with how to email the notes directly. 2. I haven't tried with Microsoft, but I'll look into it. I would assume notes could be transferred wirelessly like it does sending articles to the rM2. I'll be going over how I use it for work and how I integrate in Part 2, so look out for the next video. It should clear up some questions. 3. Nope, just how it comes. No need to replace anything and there's no protective film.

Hi, Does anyone know if this will index handwriting so you could go back and search notes? I take a million phone calls a day and make small notes in my diary and one of the hassles of course is that when someone comes back to me to ask something or to place an order we spoke about I have to scroll through my book for ages to refresh my memory. This thing looks very cool!
@Monsty
@Monsty Жыл бұрын
There’s a new feature called “Tags” on each page where you can bookmark your own keywords to find it later. You’d have to manually type the words or phrase in for them to be searchable. The rM wouldn’t index your handwriting. I wouldn’t recommend the rM if you have a couple of seconds to pull up your old notes. It would probably be best to type them and use the Find feature on the computer.

Hey! I really liked this video because it was calm and detailed. I'm considering buying one but no one is answering this question: What is it like to use with a 'No Plan' subscription? They tell you what it is like, sure; but no one shows properly, first-hand, what it is like to use a USB-C cable to transfer files onto and from a macbook - if it is even possible - and what you can do with the files once they are there. This is like the biggest thing holding me back and it would be great if you could help me understand! Could you please make video where you go over all the details of using it as if there is No Plan on your RM2? The transfer, the wifi, the everything :P Please! Thank you!

@Monsty Жыл бұрын
That’s how I felt. I used regular notebooks often for concentration and productivity and absolutely loved them. My problem was that I needed a new one every single year but still wanted to keep some info from my old notebooks. The reMarkable is essentially an unlimited, slightly better notebook. It helps me concentrate *because* it doesn’t do anything special.

Hi I recently got Remarkable 2 and am curious to know about the battery performance. For every 10 mins of use, my Remarkable 2 consumes 2% of battery. Is this how good the battery is?
@Monsty
@Monsty 5 ай бұрын
I luckily haven't had issues with my battery. I had seen a comment in the past where someone said their battery didn't last, but I think the best route there is to talk to rM support. Mine is currently at 4% since I've been using it so much. I'll leave it until 1% or let it die before charging. I also have long phone battery life and don't plug it in every night. I charge on more of an as-needed basis.
