Which note taking app do people use on the iPad?
I like the idea of writing notes with the Apple Pencil and converting some of them to text for readability. The converted text also allows me to fit more on a page.
Anything allow embedded Latex?
- snazz 6y agoNotability is pretty good. It's not too fancy, but it's very fast and Ginger Labs has continually added new features.
- criddell 6y agoMy daughter uses GoodNotes. You can convert selections to text, but I don't think there's an easy way to bulk convert. Behind the scenes it's doing it because search works on all handwritten notes. Some of the apps allow for infinite scrollable pages so maybe that would decrease your need to convert everything to text? What problem does embedded Latex solve? I believe the bundled Pages app from Apple can handle Latex.
- melling 6y agoLatex is a nicer way to write equations. You can use a sigma character, for example, and move characters around to create equations, but it’s cumbersome. Plus, it’s a nice little language for formulas. Someone else might give you the Latex and you could copy and paste that into your notes.
- criddell 6y agoI can see that if you are typing your notes, but when using something like an Apple Pencil, you can just draw a sigma or whatever symbol you want.

My point is that when you want to make your notes look neater, replacing your handwriting with Latex equations would look much nicer.
- snazz 6y agoI can confirm that Pages works with LaTeX, but Pages is not really a good alternative to Notability or GoodNotes.
