Something in the water? Why does everybody think that one can not transfer from notebook to the computer, or have to carry all their corpus of notes with them? Paper is easier to use when listening to a lecturer, or drawing some spontaneous idea.
Photographs of handwriting are good enough, millions of students use such method. It is so good that even Google Books uses it, no?
- Dylan16807 11y agoI've taken plenty of paper notes, but I would never scan handwritten text into a computer and call that good. Sometimes a canvas is better than text, and sometimes text is better than a canvas. Paper is cheap, but it's not inherently better at these tasks. A computer can much more effectively organize your notes while being as compact as the situation calls for.
- NoGravitas 11y agoIMO photographs of handwriting don't get you anything other than not having to carry multiple old notebooks around. If you want to make handwritten notes more useful than they are on paper, you will have to type them in (which is what I do).
