7.6 Notes
Notes helps you to quickly capture thoughts, questions, reminders, to-do lists, and
meeting notes. You can create handwritten and typed notes, record voice notes, convert
handwritten notes to text for easy readability, and send notes to others.
With Notes, you can also record a voice note. For more instructions about recording a
voice note, see “Recording a Note” in Chapter 2.
Enter information in Notes
There are several ways to enter information in a note. You can enter typed text by using
the on-screen keyboard or handwriting recognition software. You can also use the stylus to
write or draw directly on the screen. On devices that support recording, you can create a
standalone recording or embed a recording in a note.
