[Q] Taking notes with stylus vid? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys!
I really really want this pad. But im scared that it wont work for what i need it.
I need it to work well with stylus and to take some notes while being on phone. I dont want to use the hardware or software keyboard, just handwriting.
Best would be to write over a pdf file (orderform) that i can send by email when im done.
Would anyone who has the pad want to show how well this screen is in this matter?
Ive searched everywhere for a week without any luck

I would also like to see or have some feedback on the possibility of note taking or adding comments to documents with a stylus.
If anyone does this I wold love to know how well it works and which stylus is recommended.

sorry for the Bump?

check out ezpdf or repligo, you can annotate on any PDF and also use freehand to write, sorry but i dont do videos and if i tried, it will be crap.
did a quick google search and have seen this for ezpdf which I use.

Thanx! What a great software on that video.
The xoom looked decent when it comes to writing with the stylus. Would you say the Transformer is as good?

The transformers display is better than the Zoom as it uses an IPS panel and has much better viewing angles. The software itself is as demoed, one of the best tools for annotating documents and you should easily be able to fill in PDF forms with your handwriting.
If you are going to use handwritten notes then there are a few available, they are:
Handrite
Tab notes - still under development but trial available. Looks very promising.
Genial writing
With a combination of the above software and a good stylus such as a Boxwave one or one that I've ordered by Wacom called the bamboo stylus which I should be receiving on Monday, you will have the right set of tools to fulfill your requirements.

finger friendly ebook reader?

hi folks,
I currently use ms reader and all of my books are in .lit format
does anyone know a finger friendly reader that will let me easily change pages on screen? I hate using the hardware buttons on my phone
cheers
chris
Mobipocket Reader 6.1
Mobipocket reader is awesome, it reads .lit formats and you can turn the page by tapping the screen. you can also install the desktop version on your pc and it will convert and send books to your phone.
since when does mobipocket support .lit ??
wish mine did ! lol
Halli reader, you can simplely tap the screen to the next page
have looked at both but they don't read .lit
are there any besides ms reader that does?
Considering .lit is not an open format and msreader's a very good reader....I doubt you'll find much of anything other than msreader to read your ebooks.
And you don't need to use the hardware buttons. You can tap the page-number or the arrows next to the page-number if you really want to bungle along without the hardware buttons.
Personally I prefer using the directional pad on my hx4700 though the up-down on the side of my axim x5 was even better (stupid pda broke though ).
has anyone got the cab for tiny reader I understand that may work
got the trial version, does anyone know what the limitations are?
mobireader perfect
mobireader is free, has a cab installer, and not only has tap screen for next and previous page but has an autoscroll feature where the text smoothly scrolls up the screen at whatever speed you prefer. I found this useful when working on a cross-trainer and wanting to read at the same time. Made a holder for the phone (HD2) and left it scrolling, never had to touch it again till the workout had finished. Its a perfect reader for text files although, I agree, I dont think lit is supported as thats an MS format.
Got the new reader on Wm6.5.3 on HD2 and testing that out now if I can find any details.
I used to read lit files on ms reader but then switched to the far superior mobipocket. I use the free ABC Amber Lit Converter to convert to html, which can be dragged onto the mobipocket desktop reader.

+1 for mobireader...gotta luv the autoscroll!

Good PDF-reader (not Adobe Reader) that fits the text nicely on the screen

I'm sometimes reading books in my mobile and I'm looking for a good PDF-reader who reflows the text nicely so it fits the screen. Adobe Reader isn't really good for it because I have to scroll left/right all the time and that isn't a good reading experience really.
So recommend me a good one guys
Foxit Reader works great for me and is really the only viable alternative. It costs a few $ though but is totally worth it. Reflow works although i prefer to just zoom on columns when reading pdf magazines.
I just tried it, it works just as I wanted it to. Thanks alot man

Actually, if you use the Adobe Reader LE 2.5 CAB that's floating around on XDA, it will include an option to reflow text. If not, there is the Foxit Reader that you just tried, or you can also use PocketXpdf (personally, I like this better than Foxit).
+1 for PocketXpdf!

My final choice was to go for Pocket Xpdf, really light program with alot of good options, and it's freeware

Any image-editors out there?

the HD2 lacks a built-in image editor, anyone know a good one I can install on the device? simple functions as contrast, light, gamma, saturation and such are only needed. not looking for a app to draw with..
Resco Photo manager does a good job
When I bought a Touch Pro2 one of the reasons was that you can't really sketch on a capacitive screen, so I couldn't get an HD2. Believe it or not but I often draw on my Rhodium and send my logo concepts etc to clients simply because its the fastest available way if I have no access to a computer and scanner.
I use PocketArtist 'cause it has its similarities to Photoshop (layer support etc), so that's what I would recommend but I think that for simple photo editing you can also use Photoshop Mobile that you launch from the internet browser. Haven't tried it though.

Photoshop mobile looks good, found no web-interface editor, only the app [at] photoshop.com.. though it's only for android and iPhone/iPad, guess I have to wait for a good Android-build for the HD2.
Will check out pocketartist!

best software to annotate PDF's

Hi all
Wanting to know what is the best software around for annotating PDF's?
I need one for marking up PDF lecture notes at uni next year.
Thanks
Craig
ezPDF Reader is the best ;-)
Hey,
I use ezPDF Reader and it is perfect. You can annotate PDFs, but it is also a very fast PDF Reader. It is my favorited Software in the Thinkpad.
yes,try ezPDF, I always use it to read and anotate pdf files on my phone, feel its the best on android.
Sent from my ZTE-BLADE using XDA App

I also use ezPDF. It is not perfect (perfection is Xournal on my Thinkpad X61 Tablet) but it is as good as exists on the android platform.
I long to have linux running on my TPT so I can run Xournal on it. (having Quill annotate pdfs would be close to perfect, worth paying real money for).
Thanks everyone, seems a unanimous winner to the ezPDF.
have downloaded now and all seems great. One question though, how do you change the thickness of the pen to be a bit thinner?
Touch your drawing, ->properties...
Saves it for new drawings too.
At Windows " PDF Annotator " is the best!
The software is still on the slow side it you have large books. But haven't found anything better.
Just looking at your signature. I prefer rooted stock, too. And, I agree about TPT being the best. Root on...
I can also recommend ezPDF. It's not perfect, but it works for creating annotations, although for me, there are some issues with the palm recognition.
Anyway, I would still like to have something like PDF Annotator or Bluebeam PDF Revu which are really great tools on my X61 Tablet.

[Q] best handwriting to text app

Can anyone recommend a good handwriting to text app available for the Asus Transformer Infinity?
I would like to be able to take notes in a meeting and have the app transpose into text.
Also, I would appreciate any information on Office type software for my Android tablet.
Thank you.

For handwriting OCR, PhatPad is the one I use.
I also really recommend Office Suite Pro...it's the most full featured. You can often get it on sale...check Amazon.
