I too struggle (and fail) to keep physical papers organised. But I'm not sure why electronic papers should be any easier? Unless there's some amazing software that can recognise content automatically...
- dagw 10y agoJust tags plus dates would be enough to a very long way to making things much easier to organize. I know I made some notes after that meeting in October and I know I probably tagged the note with something like 'CFD' and/or 'wind'. Show me all the notes that match those criteria and I'll probably recognize the notes I'm looking for in less than a minute.
- FroshKiller 10y agoYou can't grep paper.
- sandsmark 10y agojust to clear up any possible confusion; don't expect text recognition. it's probably the most requested feature, but it's a really, really hard problem. but please send me a message at martin.sandsmark@remarkable.no if anyone have any tips about solutions to this (we're talking with a couple of vendors, but we might have missed some).
- FroshKiller 10y agoYeah, to be clear, I was talking about the advantages of electronic documents over paper in general, not any specific application of this device.
- alimw 10y agoFroshKiller is right, a good search feature would make this device much more useful. Regarding that I do have a 'tip' for you. There is no need for an intermediate textual representation. If a sequence of pen strokes is what you have recorded, then a sequence of pen strokes is what you should search by. For further tips (or an algorithm) I have to charge :)
- saboot 10y agoI mean physically, having to move several times and being too crammed while taking classes, I have lost several classes of notes. Digitally it's always on dropbox/gdrive.
