Coming from a Thinkpad tablet with MyScript Stylus, I'm a bit spoiled.
With that app i could have written anywhere where text input was required and it would be converted to text. Is any app or feature on the Gnote 10.1 that can do that?

Yes you can set the Samsung keyboard to do handwriting recognition for any text field. Hold down the settings button on the left of the spacebar until a "T" pops up. Selecting the T will put it into handwriting recognition mode.

Have a look at my video setting up and demonstrating this type of input method (i think its post #22/32) on the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847817&page=3
There is also a very cheap but very good app on Google play called 7notes that can be used to do this too, if you use their inbuilt notepad app, you can write in cursive and convert to text at a later time or use with any app that requires text input for immediate converting of handwriting to text.

XDA is the best manual you'll find good sir. Lot of useful posts about various tips and tricks.
Oh wow thank you. I don't feel too bad now after spending 9 bucks on the other mentioned app and not being able to bring it over to my new tab.

Even on the TPT 7Notes was my go-to HWR app. Extremely good.
I am glad I read this thread. 7NOTES is an awesome app. Thanks again. This is the only thing that was missing on my Galalxy Note 10.1. NOw I have no regrets giving up my ipad (on which I used NOtes Plus app with inbuilt conversion to typed text).

I too love 7notes as I find that it works extremely well with recognising handwriting that even I can't read! Got a few people to try it and they were amazed.
If the 7notes notepad had drawing ability as well, it would always be my no. 1 go-to app as I would sometimes like to preserve my handwriting with drawings and be able to draw anywhere on the screen. They have not updated the app since release which is a bit disappointing.

I know it's been a while since you posted your question, but for anyone that was curious about this, the settings button you're looking for will show either the "T" but most of the time it will show the google voice recognition icon. Sometimes it will show the keyboard icon. You have to long press that button to see the option to switch to handwriting mode, querty, or voice.
I hope this helps someone.

Hey just curious on how to change my keyboard while in any app that uses the keyboard to input text. I tried to press and hold an empty space on the screen and the input method never pops up like on all other Android versions.

Nevermind I figured it out. When you are typing there is a keyboard notification at the top and you just have to click it to change keyboard

Long pressing the space bar also does the job. I miss gb where all you do is swipe the spare bar to change languages
Any way to do this automatically "per-application"?

I would love to be able to do that. I use chrome as my browser and it does not play nice with swype. When deleting text it skips to the middle of words and sometimes when typing a word it will use the suggestion automatically before I'm even done typing the word.

I HATE this keyboard, worst I've EVER used...
Even when going through the options and changing them the keyboard app tires me...
when typing sms messages it will add words when starting a sentence, predicting what I'm about to type and it's always wrong. Theres no way to remove this.
Also the spelling correction is even worse and will CHANGE words even when their correct, or simple names of places/people it will change it to something different, it's a NIGHTMARE...

Actually there is.. Go into settings, then advanced, then change "space bar will..." to "complete current word" or "always insert a space". I had some problems with it auto-adding words too at first but these settings helped me. So try that if you want
I've been using SwiftKey for a long time now and for me the autocorrection and word prediction is far better than every other keyboard I've tried. And I've tried loads of them.. Just make sure to download and set your correct language packs and set it to learn from your text messages, gmail, Facebook and so on.

did you guys notice that the very first keypress after reboot goes silent while every subsequent tap clicks? that annoyed me to no end so i had to switch to another keyboard. or was it just my note?
Is there a way for this app to not use prediction and disable those 3 boxes that shows word choices?
Is anyone out there using Swiftkey tablet. I use it because of the Dvorak keyboard layout, mainly because the Note doesnt seeem to support keyboard layouts other than Qwerty.
When I type in Swiftkey it seems to be registering multiple keystrokes. This doesnt happen in the stock samsung keyboard or SlideIt

Did you try Polaris Office and S Note.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail. Still does it in these two apps.
I'm using SwiftKey without any issues. I've used both Polaris and S Note. Did you try a restart? Could be some sort of magnetic issue that might be resolved that way. Big bummer. Sorry.
I have swiftkey on all my devices except the Note10.1.
Does Swiftkey support big, small hovering and split keyboard like original keyboard ?

It supports big and split, but no hovering.
does using a keyboard other than the stock one still allow you to use the S-pen instead of the keyboard whenever you want to? I know that the stock keyboard has the setting button that you press to select text recognition for using the pen within the browser.
Think it's a common issue but I can't get SwiftKey T to learn from my Gmail.
Anyone else having this problem?? Or have a suggestion.??

Hi all,
I work for SwiftKey. Please be sure to post bug reports (one at a time) on our public forum at support.swiftkey.net. We also welcome suggestions there. Regarding Droidcarp's note that there appears to be some difficulty with personalization, our Dev Team has been made aware of this report and they are looking into it for you.
Again, our public forum is the best place for suggestions and bug reports. This allows us to streamline the development process so we can continue to make SwiftKey as excellent as possible for you.
Thanks very much,

As long as you dropped in, HWR would be good, too. Sammy offers a hover keyboard and HWR, also. Started using their split keyboard - very nice - and offers HWR.

Any idea how to get the handwriting key to be included?
It is a shame the standard samsung keyboard doesnt support dvorak
Definitely needs handwriting support and the arrow keys like the phone keyboard.
For now it's fine to leave the stock keyboard set on handwriting and use the keyboard switcher in the notifications to switch but it would be useful for it to be integrated.
Also maybe a way to adjust the width, in split mode it seems too wide and I have big hands!
I switched to swift key also from swype today and noticed an echo like effect in snote, working fine in the xda app but broken in the snote app.

Hey all,
Updated my canadian wifi note to jb last night via OTA. Super happy with the new performance and features, especially the multi app. I noticed that s note has changed a bit and the pdf import now works! However now when I use the handwriting to text productivity tool it does nothing. I write a word and it does nothing. The shape detection and frmula still work but not the text. Anyone else notice this?
I also noticed that the quick symbol view with the exclamation mark above the comma no longer opens when long pressed. The question mark above the period still works but not the other. Anyone else?

I'm not sure but I've read somewhere else that this kind of problem is related to the language pack that must be downloaded again:
"Settings - Language and input - Samsung keyboard (settings) - Input languages" -> select the language(s) to download
There's a handwriting to text option?
Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk 2
Yep, hold the little cog wheel and it should show 3 options, settings, a pen for handwriting and a keyboard icon. As stated above you need to download the language pack if the pen icon isn't present...
No that is handwriting input, which I wasn't having problems with. That is on the system keyboard. I was referring to the handwriting to text productivity tool in S-Note which was still showing up but wouldnt convert my writings to text.
However, the language update did fix it so thank you very much Sphere! If anyone else has this problem just follow Sphere314's instructions!
I also figured out whats up with the quick symbols on the exclamation and question mark keys, Samsung just changed it a little. They took the two popups away and combined them into one on the ? key (long press) with access to the full symbols list from there. The popup on the ! key is gone but you can get a ! by using shift.

it's somewhat per app... if the text block has the mic icon you don't need one on the keyboard so it doesn't show on the keyboard in some apps, especially if the app has a search function. and you can always use the hot words if you have it set to a compatible language...

well for example, it wont show up in hangouts, which is the only time i used this function (to text)
Yeah, this is important, I use it quite a bit to text. Swiftkey has it as a long press but I like the standard keyboard better so I'd prefer to use that.
You also need to enable voice typing, in addition to the mic.
