Polaris Office and S Pen

Hey Guys, I have been trying to find the perfect tablet for a while now and I thought the note might be it but something I tried at best buy yesterday did not work and I was hoping someone who has the tablet might try it out for me. My specific use for the tablet would be to take it on sales calls and use my very primitive excel order form. All I need it to do is be able to put a 1 or an x in a cell. I tried this with polaris with the pen and it would not write in the cell. Was it a setting I didn't see or does it just not work that way. I've used the transformer prime for work with this order form with the on screen keyboard but I just thought I could be faster writing with the pen. The other advantage is that I could see more of the screen If I didn't have the keyboard pop up.
Thanks for checking this out for me If you can....
Have you got an example of the sheet or are you just asking if you can place an X in a cell?
Happy to test for you if you provide a bit more detail or a sample sheet for specific testing.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes I am just asking If you go into polaris open up a new spreadsheet and see if you could write with the pen in the cell. For my purposes all I need to put in there is either a one or an x. Thanks again...
Just checked, all you need to do is double tap using the s pen in the cell you want to edit and the keyboard pops up, you then enter your 1 or X using the keyboard.
Edit: If you want to enter the X using handwriting recognition, its the same principal but you just need to have the keyboard in handwriting mode, you set this by keeping your finger on the setting button to the left of the space bar and slide it to the T icon that has a pen next to it. Once set, you can use the pen using your handwriting by writing in the panel that pops up at the bottom. The recognition is awesome.

Thanks so much for this, obviously never using the pen before wouldn't know how to get into handwriting mode. One last question if you don't mind, I have had better luck with documents to go than polaris in the past, will the pen work with any app like you're saying or is it just for the built in ones.
The handwriting input panel will work with any App that allows text input as it is brought up as a keyboard option and you can switch between keyboard, handwriting input or voice input using the method described earlier.

That is phenomenal, thanks so much. Who knew I would get all my answers before 7 am. I hope my tablet quest is over for now, although I am like a lot of you guys on here I will never be satisfied and always have to move on to the next great gadget

Glad to have been able to help, like you, I just couldn't resist buying the tab on launch day because of my hunger for new tech even at the expense of not having 3g and larger storage. I convinced myself that I will not use it for calling and can use skype or tango if needed or can use my handset to tether when required also the fact that it has an sd card slot, space will not be an issue!

Handwriting recognition in split screen mode

Hi, this is My first post.
I would like to be able to use hand writin recognition on S-note in split screen.
so the idea is I have a lecture running on one window through Youtube or video app, and then another window I am using handwriting recognition to take note's on s-note, is this possible?
when on split screen hand Writing recognition functionality does not seem possible as there is no option for it.
Thanks.

[Q] Handwriting recognition question

Hello
A couple of questions about how handwriting recognition works for the 10.1:
i) Is it available for all apps, i.e. handwriting recognition can be selected for any app which has keyboard input?
ii) Assuming your handwriting isn't a scrawl, how good is the recognition, (e.g. how does it compare to Windows 7/8 tablets)?
Thanks for any feedback

Yes it can be enabled in any app that support kekeyboard input, and comparing it to other w8/7 tablets i havent tried them but handwriting recognition works perfect, fast and never faild to recognize my writing also i have a bad hand writing
Sent from my GT-N8000 using XDA Premium HD app
I can be pretty slack with my handwriting and it works pretty good with a 95% accuracy rate. The 5% it doesn't, I'd have trouble reading if I hadn't wrote it then and there...
This doesn't really help the OP, but I thought I might as well stick my question under the same header.
In the keyboard setting is a tick box for "change to handwriting recognition when Spen is detected" and I'm wondering how it's implemented as I have not noticed anything happening. I always have to change the keyboard manually. Wether I remove the pen or use my spare one. Thanks.

I've tried and it somewhat works... but with varying results.
It surely doesn't work instantly (as one would expect). That is, if you have your keyboard out and you pull out the pen the keyboard doesn't change automatically and instantly from "typing mode" to "handwriting mode".
In a simple text editor (as Jota text editor) it works this way: if you have the pen out and you tap on the note as to insert new text, the type of keyboard is hw recognition. Then you put the pen in its slot (the keyboard stays out and doesn't change), close the keyboard (the keyboard disappears) re-tap on the note to write something else and the keyboard popping out is now the classical typing keyboard. The reverse also works.
In some other apps this behavior is not replicable. Maybe because these other apps "remember" (in the cache?) the last type of keyboard used and this overwrites Samsung "pen-detection" function.
Anyway there's a wonderful (and genial) app that automatically and instantly changes the keyboard (i.e. from the samsung stock one to another choosen one, i.e. some keyboard more advanced for traditional typing) with the pen's pulled out or in. It's called SPenBoard Switcher. The link is here.
(Unfortunately it's necessary to have a rooted device to install it...)
Thanks for your explanation. I didn't expect it to work instantly, I just never noticed it doing anything at all. But then again, I rarely use the attached pen, but one of those bigger ones. I will definitely give the suggested app a go.

[Q] SNote 2014 alternative

Hi,
i am sure there are many questions like mine but i didn't found it.
I am looking for a sNote 2014 alternative for my N8020.
I want to handwrite a text and want to transform in letters if i am ready with handwriting. as i know it only works with sNote 2014 Edition or?
Hoping for help.
All the best for you Guys.
Well, I would suggest LectureNotes, but it does not have everything you want. It doesn't have handwriting to text function, but in every other way, it's much better than S Note. There's also MyScript Notes which does support handwriting to text, but it lacks many features that LectureNotes and S Notes has.

[Q] Tablet pen removal as trigger for task in tasker?

Been looking for a way to sett the pen as trigger for changing the handwriting recognition when the pen is removed.
NOTE I KNOW there is an option in the settings to automate just that, BUT it doesn't allow me to choose what handwriting recognition I prefer. I use My Script Beta , prefer that over the built in handwriting recognition.
Anyone found a way to catch / trigger pen removal as a task in tasker??
thanks in advance
D
Anybody? Does anyone even have a suggestion? Or an alternative apporach?
