Hybrid Notes

Hybrid Note Taking

If you'd like to maintain the familiar feel of pen and paper but still access the convenience of digital storage, you may want to explore hybrid handwritten/digital notes. These are simply notes that you hand write using a digital device. Most tablets have an option for writing notes in longhand. And if you have a laptop with a touchscreen, there is most likely an app that will allow you to take notes with a digital pen. There are even apps that allow you to use your phone or tablet to scan notebook-size dry-erase pages, which you can then erase and reuse. One of the early pioneers of this technology was Rocketbook, though many other companies offer similar products as well. There are even applications that will recognize your handwriting and convert it to digital text. With all these options, you can customize the approach that works best for you. The resources below will help you get started with hybrid notes.
