How is the stylus handwriting feature? Does it translate well when taking notes?

Stylus is one of the best features. I am using it to write this now. Translation accuracy depends on the apps you are using. I tried using SNote but it was a bit laggy and it had trouble recognizing my extremely sloppy handwriting. I use One Note now to handwrite notes, then transcribe them using the on-screen Windows Stylus keyboard, which is very accurate even for my handwriting. The Slate 7 SPen also works with this, if you like using a pen-sized stylus and an eraser.

If you can download notability, definitely yes. I use notability on my iPad and take notes using my stylus. The stylus is much better than taking notes with your finger and worth the extra cost

Yes. I use it for note taking all the time. I use Papyrus instead of the native handwriting app as I find it a much better experience. I then export into Evernote for additional organization.

This stylus would be great for taking notes, however there are cheaper options that would work just as well. The main feature of this one is that it has multiple levels of pressure sensitivity. This is great for drawing, but if you're only taking notes you might not need that feature. You could go with the Jot Flip, Jot Pro, & Jot Script.

It's OK if you write slower and more deliberately. liek the rest on here said, some lines can disappear. it works OK if you don't scribble fast

Graeme, I must write and draw with a fairly light touch, as I had not noticed any clicking before. But when I write with a more staccato effect, I definitely hear that click. Good thing you brought it up or I woud have thought something was wrong with my pen

First, it's the best stylus I've ever used and I've bought them all. It's perfect for writing notes and, I'm sure, drawing. I use it for notes though. The disc allows it to move across the glass in a very smooth way...the point attached to the disc allows a very thin line to be drawn, if that's what you select in the software. It substitutes perfectly for a pen and...frankly...it really looks cool.

I have not used it for that. I would think you can get a much cheaper stylus for note taking.

Yes the stylus helps especially if you have fat fingers when you type. The stylus projects the letter so you can see as you type. The pen comes apart like a normal pen and it is ok. Good to have in a pinch.It is not cheap but it is useful. Looks good with the cover

No, actually. The tips and their replacements are highly variable. Some tips might be better for handwriting than others, but don't expect it to feel anything like pen and paper, much less a hard-tipped, bluetooth stylus, when writing.

Not necessarily. It's a soft point tip that compresses on touch. Really the only tablet with high precision would be the note due to its calibrated own. But this is nice to simply use to navigate through Web pages etc. It does work slightly better than your finger, but not for writing due to the soft tip.

I just submitted a review that goes into a lot more detail, but here's the short of it. I've found that, compared to other styli in the same price range, this stylus is excellent for note-taking. The tip is appreciably thinner and harder, to the point that even Penultimate is now better at palm rejection using this stylus. (I really don't feel the need to be a more expensive stylus for note-taking-- but that's just me.) For me, the problem is that there is too much friction for scrolling through webpages and documents, but this same friction makes it a lot easier for me to control the stylus and write neatly. I can even squeeze in tiny, written text when necessary. I just submitted a review that goes into a lot more detail, but here's the short of it.

Yes! It is Lefty friendly. There's a setting on the pen that allows you to switch it over for lefties! That way all the text on the screen isn't upside down.

I'm not sure. I would think so. The major thing I notice different with this stylus and the others is how it goes across the screen. It doesn't drag as bad as the other stylus. So if you are taking notes it is more pleasant to use. You don't have to press so hard just to write.

You can write just like you use to. It will not recognize your hand, its impossible to do so. its easy and 99% accurate for handwriting. If you want to draw, its not as accurate as handwriting.

I agree, this is SO much better than the Tab (I had a 2/7). I can't speak to the current Tab but the difference in battery life is remarkable and the S-Pen is terrific. If you want something for productivity as well as fun, go for the Note! I use my Note all the time, particularly for marking up PDFs.

I use it for taking notes and it's very smooth. I have yet to find a stylus with a very thin tip that's made with this same material. I'm not an artist but I do draw sometimes with it and it works of me.
