The zoom out to see the whole page is one of my favourite new features. It's useful when drawing cause I zoom in and out all the time, sometimes my drawings are bigger than one page on it's own

My feelings as a resident who uses the device daily: 1. The pan/zoom function seems very responsive for me, so I'm a big fan. Some accidental panning but I find it easy to return to default (black border shows and snaps into place) and it doesn't happen often. 2. Extended pages have been very useful for writing all my notes on a given topic within a single page. I certainly see how it isn't useful to everyone, but as a student it is a great feature. Would love to see page breaks implemented for exporting however. 3. The typed text and typed text editing feature falls very short for me. So clunky I refuse to use it until it improves. When you delete it deletes the handwriting above! Love my ReMarkable 2, but this one hurt. 4. With that said, handwriting conversion alone seems to work well and I actually don't mind it saving as a seperate page. Overall, 3.0 is positive. Progress is always nice to see and every new update excites me. I just hope ReMarkable knows they need to do better to keep up with the competition.

When scrolling the page around, I found spreading you fingers at least 1/2 inch apart works better than fingers to close together. Thanks for the video. Great work and very informative. Much value!!!

Thank you for your update review! Big steps for Remarkable. Always room for improvements but I am happy for now!

Hi Voja. I want to mention some things you didn't talk in the video and they are improved. When you zoom and navigate through the page I think there is less ghosting (my personal feeling, don't have to be true) and after you stop for 1 or 2 seconds it will refresh. I really love this because I creating maps and when I want to work on some details the screen is clear. The refreshes are also improved in selecting tool. When you select something, move it, scale, copy, paste the refresh goes after you did all of this (pause of 2 seconds). It is much smoother then before. Another thing I accidentally discovered and really surprised me is that you can have templetes on note pages in PDFs. When I was browsing the document I came across inserted pages made in notebook and they have template. So when you put note pages in PDFs the templete will stay but you can't change it.

Your videos are so educational that I would never buy any e-ink device without watching your review first. Thank you so much!

Vertical scrolling is the only thing I care about. I do math on it and sometimes a calculation takes pages. It sucks to either have to change the page or shrink everything and move it mid calculation. I can now just keep scrolling and working without interruption. As far as I'm concerned this is doing everything I could hope for in a device. Granted I only have one use for it, but I use it all day long. I'm pleased as punch with this.

Great material. +1 for Gollum voice, precious! :D

Great content...I always come back to you all things Remarkable

im getting my R2 on Jan 13 2023. love your reviews!

A very useful treasure trove for a new user. Thank you.

Thank you Voja (and Blarg 😆)

Hi Voja, thank you for another great review! - I'm always looking forward to your videos and was curious about this one in particular. As a teacher I must say I really appreciate that new feature with margins - the one you find so confusing.. :) Let me tell you why I'm so glad to have it - in my lessons I use lots of pdf books and need to include quite a lot of info in them for my students to learn on top of what's already mentioned in the books. Of course I could add new pages with all that info.. However, then I would no longer have the option to find a certain page easily if the numbering changed. So it gives me the extra space needed for both sharing useful and interesting info or insights with my students and for my notes on what to mention next time without interfering with the well-functioning workflow. I've also noticed that to reset the view you need the 2-finger gesture - scroll untill you see a black rectangle along the edges of Remarkable screen - that is the 'main view'. Not the best way to implement it (as we are already quite used to with Remarkable) but works fine for me. Or we have the option to go to the next page and go back.. Must say Remarkable taught me to be more patient if nothing else.. :) I am also super grateful for the landscape mode (finally!!! after sooo many years..) and the gestures for undo and redo which I happen to use waaay to often.. The landscape is also perfect for MDO as it makes it easier to write in it without having to use zoom. Cannot wait to start using it this way! Thank you for all the hard work you do for us, your fans! Stay safe, stay healthy and see you in your next video. :) Hope to see/hear Blarg as well! :D

Any of these features that they added should be able to be turned on or off in the settings. Vertical and horizontal scrolling: it’s a mess Scaling: agree, it’s a mess Typed text: they have kept it so tight and focussed on hand writing up until now that I simply don’t understand the focus on typed text. I now expect font sizes and styling, indents, bullets and most importantly: a responsive keyboard experience. What many people are actually waiting for (and complaining about): an indexing and bookmarking system and a way to add a second tool in the toolbar (so you can more easily switch between a pen and a marker for example)

they have a great marketing team, announcing a lion and delivering a kitten :)

Dear Voja, Happy New Year. In actiological terms the review is at the top level which you have used us to expect from u, 2thumps up. As far as the update is concerned, I have to mention that, along with the mixed -typed and handwrited via computer for the time being- ways of creating notebooks, 2 major key factors are very important for me. The first is the smoothness of rearranging the size of the page with two fingers which obsiously make the handling of the file significantly easier- this particular you didnt mention to that video. The second one is the ability to extend the leghth of notebook's pages theoritically to infinity. I used the beta version and I was thrilled about that. Conclusively it is a decent update which improved the tablet's abilities a lot. The only thing for us to wait for is the note taking ability of the smartphones. I have also to say is that the update came after 1.5 month since it announced and this is obviously a poor managerial strategy with bla bla, emails concerned what is about to happen and so on. Stay health and keep the good job up. Cheers lad.

Hi Voja, I dont know if anybody else has noticed but it seems that regarding the Zooming issue remarkable has decided on a 100% stick point where if you zoom out you can only zoom in again to 100%. and the same if you zoom in you can only zoom out again to 100%. And at 100% the edges of the page turns black for a moment. I agree that a button or stroke or visualisation of the zoomarea like on the Boox Air would have been nice but as it is this can work for me. I completely agree that from one day to the other changing the entire setup of all notebooks to this unlimited page is annoying because i quicky gets lost in the zooms and swipings and I liked the quick swipe new page a lot and that seems to be gone now. SO I would have liked the option on a notebook level to switch the unlimited page on/off! Thank you again for a GREAT review dripping with sarcasme!!

I love the vertical scrolling pages, ability to insert text onto a written page and text conversion onto a new page! I'm a lawyer and prior to buying my remarkable I went through tons and tons of yellow legal pads, flipping over the page whenever I needed more space for my notes. Now with the new update I can draft a document by hand on one "page", splitting it up more intelligibly with text headings, and then convert the whole thing to text on a new page so it's much closer to a finished product (while still on my device). I don't use PDFs on the remarkable very often, but thinking back to when I was a student I can definitely see the appeal of being able to "zoom out" from a particularly busy PDF page and write notes around the margins. I agree the lack of a "return to default view" button is a bit janky but hopefully that can be easily remedied in a new update or patch.

To add to the comment strings on why have the zoom out go to where you see the page edges, o find this useful for understanding a print preview type of experience. If one has switched to landscape and is no longer certain of the borders and margins, this can be very helpful. As always, love your videos Voja! Be well and be safe.

Thanks!

Good review.

23:18 the extra space is to add notes under or above an existing PDF page - you mentioned that „outside margin“

The landscape mode makes a huge difference for the rM1. We can now use it without having to worry about touching the buttons with our hands. (Upside down would have been better, but never mind). The extending page is also good for note taking because it saves you for having to select all of the pages when you want to convert to text.

I liked when you didn't have to confirm adding a page, instead if you add a new page by swiping right you should be able to undo it by swiping left immediately. And they should also add an option to fix pages, because sometimes when i try to open the page scroller it starts scrolling down and I have to reset everything. More variation and customization would be really nice. And add more languages?? There still aren't czech symbols like ščěř etc.

Btw we can use the text as Meta text to find chapters/handwriting. 👍🏼

The biggest issue is when you scroll down you lose the contrast and sometimes I need to scroll up and down a few times until it finally get contrast. Why don’t remarkable have the ability to adjust contrast in a document?

Great review. I used the desktop to copy in text from word file with English and 2 other languages of text. It copied it in on desktop app. One of them was Chinese characters, not sure how rM is able to recognize font. Upon syncing, rM does not recognize text but the desktop version has 3 different languages viewable and able to type in separate language on the desktop app that I have installed on Windows. Seems they could have added in fonts on the tablet, sort of neat but not usable...

Hello! just joined..excellent reviewing..would you consider doing a more basic HOW TO video for the Remarkable 2 and a similar one for LIQUIDTEXT? or do you only do hardwares?

Hello. They have done something that I have been waiting for a long time. Sometimes someone sends me a PDF document that I had to fill out, annotate, sign, etc. Before I had to print it to write and scan (paper waste). With R2 it is not necessary to print but I had to adjust it as I could to adapt it to real size. Now in landscape mode, the width of the document matches the actual size of din-A4 and I can write in actual size. Before the notes were created only in the size of the notebook, which is a Din-A5 (I think) but now I can create notes in landscape mode at real size for a Din-A4 document. I don't know, maybe I don't get the performance that I could, but I find this useful. Thanks

I agree with you Voja the zooming in and out is a mess because you have no way to quickly zoom out to original size..always wants to zoom to outside the page.. Really messes up using the MDO as I often zoom in the To Do and Notes areas.. Great video though and off to test the text recognition with my messy handwriting!

Did you just use Gollum's voice at 4:33? 😂😂 Good stuff, as always

I've been meaning to tell you for a while: I really like that shirt. As to the ability to zoom outside or scroll past the margins on PDF files: have you tried writing there? I am guessing it may be a feature to give you space to write notes on pages which are otherwise densely occupied.

I never used the handwriting rekognition. I am not sure if I'll use it that way now. But Its good to see that it works close to errorless. I like the infinity paper but sadly its just infintiy length. and not in all direktions. That would be a wish I still have. Zooming is very important and sadly it seems like it works worse than before. That's very sad. Landscape mode is wonderfull! finally. Landcape with splitscreen would be the next great step. especially for reading books. - Some wishes I need to try now are if notes (on a pdf or in an ebook) are scalable or only on it's right place when seen at the same scale when written. Having the overall menü on the tip of the pen would be very handy.

Hi everyone. I like vertically scrolling pages. Still missing a gesture to quickly add a new page before or after the actual page (two fingers swap). Could typed text blocks be the starting to something like mindmapping on rM2 ? I would like mindmapping on my rM !!

I use the zoom in out and new margins on pdfs to write small notes that wouldn’t have otherwise fitted

9:18 You can reset the view by zooming in from the full page. When it reached the default size, all four borders have black bar. So it sort of snaps to the default or reset view

Gesture responsiveness is good if you do it in a "lazy" way. I got used to it quickly, but I can see why some people would consider it an issue, especially after using other devices which respond much more smoothly.

Some of the new features I won't use. But they are nice to have.

Oh Voja 28:45, I'm sure that the Remarkable will be perfect by the time you're 80. There's no rush.

Thanks for the video. Many of the new features are confusing, and I pretty much agree with all your comments. That said, I really have not had time to use them yet. BUT, after the update I got terrible problems with ghosting. To get rid of the ghost images only way is to flip pages back and forward. Initially I thought that my remarkable was broken....

Here is a bug for you. Try to handwrite some text, make some drawings and under that type in some text. Then delete the text with the keybord and keep deleting. Worst case you will be missing some drawing or handwriting. I think the test team has been sleeping. I am not a fan of the bigger page function - as an option - yes. But not as it is now.

to get to 1:1 Zoom after pinching to zoom, You have to do the opposite tap with and hold with two fingers then spread out, until you see a solid border around the page

Hi everyone ! Did you notice how the differents styles off pencils are now pretty much the same ? I mean the mechanical pencil is now pretty similar to ballpoint or fine liner. I'm the only one to see it or am I crazy ?

I do enjoy watching your videos a lot! But I don't like the sarcasm at the end. The big thing is, that I am able to insert text on my desktop easily in a document that is focused on handwritten notes. That addition is really nice - in my opinion. The usage of text on the reMarkable itself is just a little bonus. But hey! There are always two sides to look at a thing... ;-)

remarkable should make mini version. preferably one fit in a pocket

I don't even know where to start.. I am so frustrated by this update that I bought a Supernote A5X and I am surprisingly enjoying how effortless writing, reading and organizing is on SN software. I suspect that the new software might be too demanding, or the RM is struggling while uploading these exaggerated pages (which I am not using at all, but they are still there), now it's slower, there is a lot of ghosting and screen flashes too much. If I open a notebook, even template lines are loading gradually and flickering. I can't believe that I am saying this, but my eyes now get tired from working on RM2. The overall 'paper-like' experience now feels like browsing internet on a Boox device. 1) Writing became a struggle: slowly loading pages, flickering. Already twice by now I got frozen screen while using eraser, after restart about 2 pages of notes were lost. 2) Reading and annotating pdfs is even more of a struggle. For me the crucial feature was cropping the margin in adjust view. I read a lot of pdfs for work and the most efficient way for me is to see the full page in portrait view with text stretched to the full size screen. Now there is no such an option, the only way to adjust a page to the screen size is to use zoom which takes about 10 minutes per page. 3) There are a lot of tiny annoying bugs in this update which are not critical and I would probably be able to live with them. 4) There are new exciting features which many users find useful. However, they come at a cost of affecting the smoothness of performance and bring more gadget-like experience compared to paper pad - like experience as it was before.

Thank you for this. Is it ok to ask the community here for someone's referral code? I'm sold on this device.

What I am disappointed about is the fact, that you cannot place the textcursor wherever you want in terms of columns. You can certainly define the row but it’s going to start always at the same position (or I was just not able to perform this task)

will it be ever possible to take handwriting notes on the remarkable app from an ipad using the Apple Pencil?

Great vid - appreciate all the detail. I really don’t get these long pages - inelegant with the slow speed of the scrolling and odd when you export or (as you showed) previewing the pages on device. I thought the scrolling down would be a different way of moving to the next page (as with eg Notability on an iPad).

Thanks. I feel the same. Nothing useful for me in 3.0. Would be different if I could type into a pdf.

very good video's, i watch them all entirely - one common remark : on multiple occasion your swiping gestures give the impression that reMarkable 2 is not responsive - however, it has more to do with how you actually use your fingers, e.g. using 2 fingers requires both fingers to have a space in between them so the device actually recognizes that you are using 2 fingers instead of 1 (the videos clearly show that you have a tendency to stick your 2 fingers against each other). Additionally, your swiping down/across is not properly followed by the device, so jt would help to only use 1 extended finger and keep the other 4 fingers completely bent (also here the videos clearly show that you are doing 1 finger swipes with all 5 fingers extended, so the device seems to get confused). Hope this is constructive feedback to increase your sweeping efficiency (more or less comparable with finger exercises for piano players). Keep Up the Deep Guides !!!

Can it convert a greek letter formula like physics lecture notes? If it can, then I can write a full paper on this device! But I am changing my mind I'll probably go for Lenovo Smart Paper from the last review you did!

12:15 Text conversion is pretty accurate. My handwritings are bad, still 90% accurate. But very basic bullet support. And any none letter markings can confuse it. So my advise is that if you want transcribe the notes later, stick with just text and dot bullet (numerical bullet heads do not work).

Hi Voja, did you find a way to move the text around the page once you have typed? Seems like there is no way of using the marques tool to select the text and copy or move around... Also there seems to be a limit on how high up the page you can add the text.. Really clunky!

Voja what is the marker that is featured in the video? I am looking to get a third-party marker that is magnetic, thanks in advance.

That outside page view you're talking about as confusing at around the 24 minute mark: would that work as additional "margin space" you can take notes on? I mean, you can already write on the page itself, but maybe that's what they had in mind?

Zooming in/out and two finger panning mode is not very responsive. I'm pretty curious why this feature was added since it is rather a bit painful. Either way, it is there for probably a new more updated Remarkable device though rM2 is not the device for this updated feature.

Does somebody know how to remove the whitespace that gets added if you scroll away to the side or the bottom? Even if I add nothing there, the page in the app will have a large empty margin

It's some great stuff, searching typed text and to type is pretty big. But the fact that you can't move the text around is really bad. I'm surprised you didn't go over that. And it's really annoying that there is another step to making a new page now... And typed text doesn't match any templates. I do love that we have a gesture for undo, but I'm finding it unreliable. I can't hide the menu yet though, I need a gesture for switching between pen and selection tool. 9:15 Probably you know now, but you gotta zoom in more to get back to the default and it'll snap and show you an indication of it. Surprised you didn't try more.

How would you compare the Scribe pen to the Remarkable marker in terms of feel and use?

i think the extended page should have a toggle imo. Decent concept but not always needed mainly because the export looks weird.

With my job I talk to three outside salesman. If I built a folder for each salesman, how many pages can I have in that folder before I have to send it to the cloud? Can i access that folder with 30-45 pages in it before i send it to the cloud to be stored?

Oh boy... Overloading the system is going to make everything lag. I mean: Fujitsu does improve its system by fixing bugs and you keep all the same functions without making the system lag. As long as the new updates won't kill the performance of this thing, everything is fine. Let's wait and sip some coffee.

My handwritten to conversation to text doesn’t work at all.

I'm unimpressed with 3.0. The 'infinite' pages should be optional; I will never use them, as they break the notebook concept. So does the 'type on page' feature. There is still no fast tool switching or bookmarking. I'll stick with DDVK.

is there a way to remove the quick sheets from the home screen?

The thing that has me a bit grumpy is that when you re writing in notebook and want a new page, you swipe and then you need to touch the bubble that confirms you want anew page... Why?? Why would you introduce an extra step while note taking?!?

There is a critical error when rotating page. I don't think that is only for me. Please wait before you decide to rotate a notebook with more than 5p pages.

Accidental zoom more frequent with 3.0. We've lost easy return to 100%.

Undo - redo : just ONE tap!! 😉

I don't have the mobile update on google play. what do i do?

I agree they need to add bluetooth so I can use my keyboard.

How does Kindle Notes work with RM2? Thank You So Much John Onufrak

Can’t believe there is no Bluetooth for the keyboard. Can it connect to a usb Wi-Fi keyboard?

Uhm i have 1 more question. My desktop can't write on the notebooks

noteshelf 3 on ipad

For me, the update, which is supposed to be big now, is absolutely disappointing. Who needs that? Maybe the somewhat enlarged pages may be good for some creative people, but otherwise? Typed text, within a handwritten one? For what? I looked at the comments here and found no one except for the teacher who found this useful. Ok, the do and redo function is very good. But it takes 3 years for that? What I need for years is quick access to switch between pen sizes. Will I buy a Remarkable 3 again? I don't know. There are now so many good competitors on the market.I like the concept that you don't overload the tablet with functions. But even for this approach there are still enough ideas for the software they did not realized yet.

The one feature I was waiting for was the handwriting to text conversion. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! First, it incorrectly identified my handwriting; Second did not recognize text on multiple lines! Instead, put all converted text concatenated on one line. I created a college ruled Notebook and distinctly wrote between the ruled lines. I was hoping this would be the update that I could retire my Livescribe Pen & Paper system. Livescribe does a Wonderfull job at recognizing my handwriting - so I know it can be done. The Remarkable 2 yet again goes back on the shelf. 😡😥

that is your point of view you like it more complicated , Bluetooth is very wrong idea, this products for paper lover , in whole update i like only the undo redo gestures

Author: "keyboard is so responsive!" Video: slow delayed text input, like terminals in 80s

Don't like long page crap. We had "longer" pages by just making a new page which now needs a new button press. Scrolling sucks on this so why did they do a tablet thing? How did we go back to previous version?

Technically, it should be able to do a handwriting search on unconverted writing by converting it 'behind the scenes' and highlighting each written word converted on-the-fly into a search match. This assumes they're doing conversion word by word rather than using some clever sentence analysis.

I don’t like the “flexible” pages.

So slow and unresponsive. How does anyone use this
