Effrey 1 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I recently purchased a Windows Surface Pro 3 and was excited to give the pen input a test drive and sorry to say have been disappointed with the results. When I add a Handwriting section on my Android client and sync back to Windows I am only able to annotate that item. I can understand that due to the differences between systems. But it is frustrating that I then cannot add any handwriting on the Windows client to that same note. I then tried to create a Ink Note, which works fairly well on the Windows client, and will even sync down to the Android client be displayed but unable to edit, again I can understand that. I am able to add additional notes and the note displays correctly on the Android. The problem comes when I sync back to Windows. The writing section has been converted to an Attachment.bin file and I am no longer able to handwrite on that note. I have too much time invested into Evernote to jump ship, and your Android client is much better than OneNotes, but I am starting to investigate ways to incorporate OneNotes writing capabilities into my workflow. One nice feature I have noticed is the ability to highlight the written text in ON and copy, which will actually copy the converted text, on both clients. Which may come in handy for this workaround I am still considering. My request is for better integration between Android and Windows of the mixed note type (Text / Handwriting / etc) Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted July 1, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted July 1, 2014 Thanks for your comments. I'm sure better integration will come.. meantime of course Evernote does have that handy OneNote import facility... Link to comment
lackop 0 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Is it possible to edit windows ink notes on android evernote device today? Or is there a walk-around? Thank you. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted October 26, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted October 26, 2015 Did you try? And if so, what happened? I just had a go - created an ink note on desktop, synced it to my Android and opened the note to edit. I can add text or handwriting above or below the ink content, but the actual ink writing/ drawing, while visible, is not editable. Link to comment
lackop 0 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 And that is the problem, the writing in not editable . Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted October 26, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted October 26, 2015 Have you looked at electronic pen products like Livescribe? Their notes may be editable via different devices.. http://www.livescribe.com/ Link to comment
lackop 0 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Thank you for your advice, but I want to have all notes on one place synchronized through different devices. I like Everntote and was hoping that this is possible and IMHO it is really bad that you cannot edit windows notes on android device. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted October 27, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted October 27, 2015 Different hardware, different OS, different rules. Some things are easier than others to port across. Not 'really bad' - just not implemented yet.. Link to comment
