WeCanLearnAnything 100 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I love Evernote. It is becoming a digital brain that is helping me manage a huge share of everything I want to learn. BUT... it seems to have a serious limitation: You can't type in an Ink Note. No text box. No typing at all. Is this feature something Evernote is going to work on? If not, would you suggest I use OneNote or some other app for taking notes for math, economics, art class, chemistry, etc. where a mixture of diagrams, math symbols, and "normal typing" (give context, verbal explanations, etc.) are best? EDIT: I did just try OneNote for mixing both text and "inking" and it seemed to work really well. It seemed made for exactly that, actually. Thoughts? Link to comment

My preference is to use a dedicated app for serious note taking. I use Notability (Apple) I store the result as as a pdf in Evernote. Link to comment
WeCanLearnAnything 100 Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Wouldn't using just one app - OneNote - make more sense? Link to comment

I value Evernote as a digital filing cabinet. I don't have a problem using dedicated apps to get the more extensive features. That includes note taking, word processing, spreadsheets. Link to comment
WeCanLearnAnything 100 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Is the ability to both ink and type in a (single) note a feature that Evernote is working on? Link to comment
WeCanLearnAnything 100 Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 No answer... so I'll assume that inking and typing will be forever separate on Evernote. I'll explore switching to Microsoft OneNote. (Their tagging seems atrocious, btw.) Link to comment
