Useful tip that got me thinking... I bet I could do this with PDFs. I used Word to create a daily task and journal template that works for me, saved it as a PDF, then discovered I could do the same thing. The PDF template is called Background by default and my notes are Layer 1 by default. Same process only you are dealing with one less layer. I would not have thought of this without this video so thank you.

can you convert your notes layer content to text still using this? Or, if my custom template layer is converted to text (assuming I can do that) can I still write then convert to text the notes layer?

@HiredThought 2 ай бұрын

I don't know if it's the most efficient way, but I looked at some documentation, and it looks like there's a way to do it with the selection tool: 1 Open the document with the handwritten notes you’d like to convert. 2 Tap the selection tool and select your handwritten notes with your Marker. 3 Tap the handwriting conversion button. 4 Place the text cursor by tapping the display with your Marker. 5 Tap the paste button to paste the converted text. You can edit this text with the on-screen keyboard, with Type Folio, or in the mobile and desktop apps with a Connect subscription. I think that should work? Worth a try!

Ben, this is a great experiment, highly inspiring - particularly from an independent consultant who feels the same pains of trying to experiment and explore different ways of trying to explore ways of helping customers but also building a business around it. Your map today (and the process of thinking) resonates with me big time. I think you are into something cool there! I also believe that "sharing stories" is a key activity to help people further their understanding and possibly start being eager to collaborate... Keep up the great work, Ben; we really appreciate your work!

I’ve had my remarkable for two days. I have made “notebooks” simply by using Canva templates and uploading them as a PNG into a folder titled “Personal” for example. Then I renamed the the PNG “budget” I then open the PNG and duplicated it. Now I have a “notebook” for my budgeting. This method is working great and it gives me a very clean, neat and aesthetically pleasing “notebook” to work with. I can write or use the convert to text method because it is a PNG. Hope this helps

@@HiredThought Hi there i tried this option of importing a png, but you can only upload png through the browser not any of the apps. Also the document is saved as a PDF not as a native notebook, you can add blank pages and use text convert method, but you cannot add templates of lines etc into the notebook, nor copy/move pages into other notebooks. If anyone figures out how to do that I am interested to know.

Yes, this is very convenient.... for new users: draw a line and hold at the end... then the line will straighten out...and you can also fine tune the angle and length of the line at the same time, while moving the pencil after the line has strightened out. (do not lift the pencil until finished)

Hi Ben, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Could you please explain how to make a template that is adaptable to the content? I can make a template with your excellent instructions. The template has a few headings but the content I write below each heading varies in size each time. Can the template be made to account for the size of the content? Like in a Word document? Thank you.

@HiredThought 4 ай бұрын

I'm afraid I don't have the answer to this one. Though one thing you could try is editing the template layer directly whenever your content is about to go out-of-bounds. The selection tool could enable you to move the template elements (e.g., headings). It's not ideal or automatic, but it might help you in those moments.

Thanks for sharing this information! I'm having a problem though. The layer behavior described doesn't happen for me. Instead it will always remember which layer I was on when I exited the document. I tried to be thorough and watch the video twice to see if I was missing something. I tried this one 3 different version as well, with the last 2 being the latest release and latest beta. I even tried checking the settings to see if there was something specific to this. Did I just miss something easy? Or did they change this behavior?

@HiredThought 6 ай бұрын

I'm noticing this too. I think it was changed in the last few updates to the software. Now I guess we'll have to be more careful about the layer that's selected. Thanks for pointing this out!
