I took a different approach than the author.
I just found a notes app that worked and stuck with it and stopped worrying about the options. I still get all the advantages of digital notes.

Re: Tired of note-taking apps
#112Personally I find Apple Notes the most convenient for quick jotting down of ideas etc. It’s not the most advanced in terms of features but it loads instantly, is quick to use and is available on all of my devices. Have tried numerous alternatives but they’ve never stuck e.g. they’re slow to start up or are fussy to use or don’t work well on one platform. For deeper sketching out of ideas, diagrams etc I really like C…
The best thing about Apple notes is that I can dictate while I am hiking. The problem is that it seems to require >2 bars of service, which is a rarity when I actually need it.
I've heard you can use local voice recognition by long-pressing the dictation button.

#113I used both. If I'm learning I will write notes with a pencil and paper (pencil over pen every time). This means I have to think more about what I'm writing and for me is more flexible. I use an A4 squared pad with an index at the front, each page is split similar to the Cornell note taking system which is good for summarising and adding tags for quickly finding information. My notes are scribbled and messy. I will t…

#118the global note-taking management software market is estimated to reach $1.35 billion by 2026
That’s an interesting indicator. Would anyone happen to know what report the author is sourcing or have a link? I’m curious to read more of these numbers in full.

How do you backup Apple Notes? The PDF export loses fidelity. I really like AN for the integrated camera, esp the document scanner. Is there another application that allows for writing as well as annotating media, video, photos and sound?
It’s on iCloud.
Is iCloud a backup or a coordination mechanism? If someone steals an iDevice and starts nuking notes or deleting videos, are they not gone?

Have you tried using OneNote's handwriting recognition feature? I am curious if that experience would allow for the regaining of the pen-to-paper "magic". Edit: typo
I have, and it doesn't work. The recognition is good enough for a demo, in the store you will be really impressed how well it works. However, when really taking notes on the go you use your own abbreviations it doesn't know, use slang or scientific/technical language. Thats where it breaks down and degrades into the usual "I hate you, autocorrect" spiel. Also, OneNote does it's recognition and replaces your handwritt…
You don't have to replace your handwritten text. It's searchable even as ink. Can't say I've ever used the ink to text feature.
