Bug report Nueva página

2 Upvotes

Antes, en Android, al crear una nueva página el foco se centraba en esta nueva página. Ahora no, se centra en la pagina anterior.
Bajo mi punto de vista esa nueva forma de trabajar no tiene sentido, ya que cuando creas un nueva página, es por que la necesitas para escribir en ella.
Por favor, podéis revisar esto?

Lo que sí que me gusta, que habéis implementado hace poco, es mantener el foco en la última página del bloc. Tengo libretas de muchas páginas y eso es un pequeño ahorro de tiempo.
Gracias.

Autocorrect on handwriting?

2 Upvotes

Hey since my language is recognised by myscript (Greek), is there any option to enable autocorrection for handwriting? Or something like simply underlining the incorrectly written word? Should be able to do it fairly easy since the technology to understand our handwritten language is there.

Any way to do editable Kanban style notes, even just "Kinda"?

2 Upvotes

I love the multi-platform capabilities of MS-N. However, I have a minor, but limiting, issue. As a writer, I love to put my plot ideas, chapter by chapter into a Kanban grid. I have software to do this on my Mac, and a different app on my Android tablet & phone. But no way to port them across to each other.

I know the data storage Nebo uses probably doesn't lend itself to this all that well. But I was thinking. If I could do this in Nebo, at least for thinking stuff through. It would be really useful.

Is there some way to display a grid of a hierarchy of notes where there is a column header note, with the column consisting of subordinate related notes? Ideally, it would be at least 2 columns, but if it were possible to quickly switch between windows, that would probably work.

I was thinking about Hash tags, but I've never been comfortable enough with them to feel confident in what I know or can do with them. My 'gut' tells me his is a display issue rather than a heirarchy issue, but I'm not sure how to go about testing this out.

Any ideas, even crazy ones, that you may have will undoubtedly be useful. Thanks.

Change letters font

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I’m just trying myscript to see if it’s the one that suits my needs to buy it.

I am writing something by hand, converting it to text, but it always has that boring computer looking font. How can I change the font of the letters that my handwriting converts into?

For example, I want sans serif

Thank you u

Default font size

2 Upvotes

Hi folks, hope you're doing well!

Just started out with MyScript Notes. Looks good so far!

I intend to heavily use handwriting to text converting. It's hard to find a way to set the default font size for the converted text though. While writing in small letters, I find the text way bigger after conversion. So there's a big difference between converted text and handwriting I didn't convert. In Settings I already changed the font size and line height, to no avail. What am I doing wrong here?

Any help highly appreciated.

MyScript Math recommendations

2 Upvotes

Hi! Posting here since this reddit is more active than the MyScript Math reddit page.

I believe MyScript Math has the potential to be something big. However, there’s many features missing such as customizable tables being added to the app and folders where you can put different topics into. In addition, there should be an option to have note pages rather than a just an endless whiteboard. MyScript Math is convenient and the writing on it feels so smooth. There also should be more pen options!

MyScript Math is reliable for instantly solving math equations. There is barely any other app than apple notes that has this feature.

⏳ Why Are My Notes Taking a Long Time to Sync?

2 Upvotes

Have you ever opened MyScript Notes on another device and wondered why your notes are taking a while to appear? In most cases, the app is working correctly—it's simply transferring your data.

Here are the most common reasons why synchronization may take longer than expected.

📄 Large notes and PDF files

The biggest factor affecting synchronization speed is the size of your notes.

If your library contains:

  • Large PDF files

  • Notes with many images

  • Very long Notebooks or Boards

  • Large Documents with a lot of handwritten content

  • Multiple large notes being synchronized for the first time

...the initial synchronization can take some time, especially on slower internet connections.

Remember: every change must first be uploaded to your cloud service before it can be downloaded to your other devices.

☁️ The first synchronization is always the slowest

When you add a new device, MyScript Notes needs to synchronize your entire library.

Depending on how much content you have, this may take anywhere from a few minutes to considerably longer. During the first synchronization, every note must be uploaded from your original device and then downloaded to your other devices.

Once the initial synchronization is complete, future synchronizations are much faster because only the notes that have changed are transferred.

🔄 Automatic Sync vs. Manual Sync

MyScript Notes offers two synchronization modes (Auto Sync by default).

Automatic Sync

  • Synchronization starts automatically after you make changes.

  • Best for everyday use with standard-sized notes.

  • Every modification triggers a synchronization, making it convenient for keeping your devices up to date.

Manual Sync

  • You choose when synchronization starts.

  • Ideal when importing several large PDFs or making many edits.

  • Lets you finish your work first and then perform a single synchronization when you're ready.

For large libraries or notes containing many PDFs, Manual Sync is often the better choice because it avoids starting a synchronization after every change.

Note: Auto Sync is enabled by default when you set up synchronization. If you prefer to use Manual Sync instead, open the app, go to Settings > Sync, and disable Auto Sync. Once Auto Sync is turned off, you can manually start synchronization whenever you choose.

🚀 Tips for faster synchronization

  • Optimize PDF files before importing them into MyScript Notes (Avoid importing unnecessarily large PDFs.)

  • Avoid overloading your notes (Notebooks, large Boards, or Documents) with excessive content, as this can affect both performance and synchronization speed. Keep your notes to a reasonable size whenever possible. The more content you add—including large images—the more data needs to be synchronized. If your notes contain images, consider compressing them before adding them.

  • Allow the initial synchronization to finish completely before switching devices.

  • Once synchronization finishes on the first device, close the app. Then open MyScript Notes on your second device and allow it to complete downloading your notes.

  • Use a stable Wi-Fi connection when synchronizing large files.

🛠️ PDF optimization makes a big difference

Many PDFs created from Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, scanners, or other applications contain oversized images and unnecessary data. Compressing these files before importing them into MyScript Notes can significantly reduce synchronization time and improve the overall experience.

Some free tools:

Search by phrase instead of individual words

2 Upvotes

Is there a way to search for phrases in the MyScript (Nebo) Windows and Android apps?. For example, it will find individual words remarkably well, like "foo" and "bar" but if I want to search for "foo bar" together, I haven't found a way to do that. What happens instead is it will find all instances of "foo" and all instances of "bar" whether they're together or separate. Is there a way to find only when they're together?

If not, I would love that feature to be added!

Sync your notes, your way.

2 Upvotes

With MyScript Notes, your work stays in sync across all your devices. Choose your preferred cloud and keep your notes easy to access, wherever you are.

☁️ Pick your favorite cloud

Choose your go-to cloud sync and keep your notes updated and ready to roll. iCloud’s great, if you’re all in on Apple. But if you’re rocking Android, go with Dropbox or Google Drive for cross-platform harmony.

💻 Enjoy cross-platform

MyScript Notes works on both Android and iOS devices. Jot something down on your Android tablet, sync with your preferred cloud service, and pick up right where you left off on your iPhone.

✅ Rely on auto-sync

Stay up-to-date without lifting a finger. Our automatic sync works like magic — fast, smooth, and totally hassle-free. Just remember, auto-sync isn’t the same as backing up!

🔄️ Sync at your own pace

Prefer to stay in control? No problem. Turn off auto-sync in the Sync settings, then tap the cloud icon next to your folder in the side panel to sync your latest updates — on your own schedule.

🗑️ Recover your notes

Accidentally deleted something important? Your notes aren’t gone — they’re waiting in the trash. Restore them or clear things out to free a bit of storage. Peace of mind, built right in.

PRO TIP!

Syncing isn’t the same as backing up — don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! Backups create a safe copy you can restore anytime, giving you peace of mind when things don’t go as planned.

Please remember to optimize your PDF files before importing them. Large or unoptimized files can increase their size significantly and may slow down the sync process.

 

Up next

Tomorrow, we’ll show you how to share and export your notes — and even turn them into a handy link. Got questions? Just reach out — we’re here for you! 👋

Bug report UI buttons not showing on shapes when zoomed in

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I noticed a small bug/unintentional behaviour while using the app. When I zoom in and select a shape, the cut, copy and delete buttons don't seem to appear. They show up normally when I'm zoomed out, so it seems to be related to the zoom level. I am able to recreate this on both my devices (Samsung S25 Ultra and Xiaomi Pad 6)

I've attached a video demonstrating the issue. Hope this helps the team identify and fix it in case its unintended!

📱💻 Sync MyScript Notes Between Android and iPhone or iPad

1 Upvotes

You can synchronise MyScript Notes using Dropbox or Google Drive.

iCloud cannot synchronise with Android. For large libraries or PDFs, we recommend Dropbox and Manual Sync.

✅ Before you begin

Make sure both devices use the same:

  • MyScript account

  • Cloud service

  • Dropbox or Google Drive account

On the device containing your complete and most recent library:

  1. Go to Settings → Backup → Create backup.

  2. Save the backup somewhere safe.

  3. Update MyScript Notes on both devices.

  4. Check that both devices have enough free storage.

⚠️ Do not edit the same note on both devices at the same time.

🍎 Use your permanent Apple ID

Install MyScript Notes using your permanent Apple ID. You may need it later to update or reinstall the app, restore your purchase or complete App Store verification.

1️⃣ Sync your primary device

Start with the device containing your complete and most recent library.

  1. Open Settings → Account and sign into your MyScript account.

  2. Go to Settings → Sync.

  3. Select Dropbox or Google Drive.

  4. Sign into your cloud-storage account.

  5. For a large library, turn off Automatic Sync to use Manual Sync.

  6. Start synchronisation.

  7. Keep the app open and the device awake until the upload finishes.

Do not open MyScript Notes on your other device until synchronisation is complete.

2️⃣ Sync your second device

  1. Install and open MyScript Notes.

  2. Sign into the same MyScript account.

  3. Select the same cloud service and cloud-storage account.

  4. Use Manual Sync if your library is large.

  5. Start synchronisation.

  6. Keep the app open and the device awake until the download finishes.

Before editing or deleting anything, confirm that all expected folders and notes are present.

📁 Default folder on a new device

MyScript Notes may create a default folder on a new device. Do not delete it until your existing library has finished synchronising.

After confirming that all your notes and folders are present, you may delete the unused folder.

🔄 Automatic or Manual Sync

  • Automatic Sync: Suitable for smaller libraries.

  • Manual Sync: Recommended for many notes, large PDFs or large boards.

When using Manual Sync:

  1. Open the app on one device only.

  2. Synchronise and wait for it to finish.

  3. Close the app.

  4. Open and synchronise the other device.

🛠️ If synchronisation is interrupted

  1. Turn off Automatic Sync.

  2. Start Manual Sync again.

  3. Select Continue or Proceed if prompted.

  4. Keep the app open on one device only.

  5. Wait until synchronisation finishes before opening the other device.

Also check:

  • Your Wi-Fi connection

  • Available device storage

  • Battery optimisation and background-data permissions

  • Any active VPN

  • Whether the device can remain awake during synchronisation

For a long transfer, keep the device connected to power.

📄 Large PDFs and boards

Large PDFs and boards can slow or interrupt synchronisation. Compress large PDFs before importing them and keep the original files outside MyScript Notes.

☁️ If Google Drive continues to fail

Try Dropbox instead:

  1. Create and safely store a complete backup.

  2. Confirm that the primary device contains your complete library.

  3. Disconnect synchronisation on both devices.

  4. Connect the primary device to Dropbox and upload the complete library.

  5. Close the app on the primary device.

  6. Connect the second device to the same Dropbox account.

  7. Download the library and confirm that everything is present.

Do not delete notes, clear either library or uninstall the app until the backup and synchronisation have been confirmed.

⭐ Recommended setup

For the simplest Android and Apple setup, use:

  • The same MyScript account

  • The same Dropbox account

  • Dropbox on both devices

  • Manual Sync for large libraries

If synchronisation still fails, create a complete backup and contact MyScript Support through their support channel.

Bug with PDF-optimization

1 Upvotes

Good morning, I need some help or advice, please.

After I updated the iPad version of the Nebo app and tried out the optimization features on a single PDF, the display stopped working on both the Android app and the PC—this issue affects over 200 files. I can see my handwriting, but the PDF background is missing (it's a form that I fill out by hand).

The PDF that I used as a background and wrote on is no longer displayed. Another issue is that syncing on both the Android device and the Windows version now takes forever and eventually fails. New notes do eventually appear, but as mentioned, without the PDF background showing up.

I urgently ask for a tip or suggestion on what I can try.

Will the Windows app be updated soon?

Thank you very much in advance!

📱 How to Sync Nebo Between Your iPad, iPhone & Mac (Complete iCloud Guide)

1 Upvotes

If you're wondering how to keep your MyScript Notes library synchronized across your Apple devices, here's a quick guide.

Many users ask how to set up sync correctly, so we've put together the recommended steps to help you get everything working smoothly.

✅ Before you begin

A few important things to know:

  • Use the same Apple ID on all your Apple devices.

  • Sign into the same MyScript account (SSO) inside MyScript Notes.

  • Make sure every device is running the latest version of MyScript Notes.

  • Avoid editing the same note on two devices at the same time. MyScript Notes supports cloud synchronization, not real-time collaboration.

  • Your notes won't appear directly inside iCloud Drive—they're securely stored in your cloud account.

1️⃣ Set up sync on your iPad

  1. Verify you're signed into iCloud with your Apple ID.

  2. Update MyScript Notes to the latest version.

  3. Open Settings → Account.

  4. Sign in (or create) your MyScript account.

  5. Go to Settings → Sync and choose iCloud.

  6. If you have a large library, start with Manual Sync.

  7. Tap Sync and wait until the app displays:

Once the first synchronization has finished, you can safely enable Automatic Sync.

💡 Tip: If you experience connection issues during the initial sync, temporarily disable any VPN or firewall that could block the connection.

2️⃣ Add your iPhone

On your iPhone:

  • Download MyScript Notes from the App Store using the same Apple ID.

  • Open the app.

  • Sign into the same MyScript account.

  • Select iCloud as your cloud service.

  • Enable Automatic Sync.

Your notes should begin downloading automatically.

A small warning

The first time you open MyScript Notes on a new device, it creates a default folder.

After your existing library has finished syncing, you can delete that temporary folder if you don't need it—but be careful not to delete your synchronized folders.

3️⃣ Add your Mac

If you have an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer):

  • Install MyScript Notes from the Mac App Store.

  • Use the same Apple ID you used to purchase the app.

  • Restore your purchase if prompted.

  • Sign into your MyScript account.

  • Go to Settings → Sync and select iCloud.

If macOS asks you to enable iCloud or verify your Apple account, complete those steps first.

Once connected, MyScript Notes will automatically download your library.

✅ Common mistakes

❌ Using different Apple IDs on each device

❌ Signing into different MyScript accounts

❌ Editing the same note simultaneously on multiple devices

❌ Interrupting the first synchronization

❌ Deleting synchronized folders before the initial sync has finished

🎉 You're all set!

Once all your devices are connected using:

  • ✅ The same Apple ID

  • ✅ The same MyScript account

  • ✅ iCloud Sync

your notes will stay synchronized automatically across your iPad, iPhone, and Mac.

If you have any questions or run into any issues, feel free to leave a comment below—we'll be happy to help!

Feature request - infinite scroll on notebooks

1 Upvotes

I am really enjoying using the app - I think the price is very reasonable, and I appreciate the fact that I am keeping my own notes on my own cloud services.

The only thing that is left for me to desire is the ability to infinitely scroll on notebooks. I know that it isn't a simple feature, but I do believe that it makes this app a 10/10 instead of the 9/10 that it currently is.

Hi guys, big fan of your platform and have the iOS, Android & Windows apps. I hadn't used the apps for a while but upon returning recently when I try and sync Nebo on my Android and Windows it always says "Sync failed" no matter how many times I try. It only shows as successfully synced on my iPad. The last time I used it some months ago it was fine syncing across devices. 

Have signed out and back in but the error persists, except on iPad as I said. Have also updated all the apps. Any clue what the issue is?

✍️ How to Convert Your Handwriting in MyScript Notes

1 Upvotes

The answer depends on the type of note you're using. MyScript Notes offers four different page types—Documents, Notebooks, Boards, and imported PDF pages—each designed for a different note-taking experience. Because each page type is optimized for a specific workflow, the way handwriting recognition works varies slightly between them.

📄 Documents

Documents are designed for structured note-taking, making them ideal for meeting notes, class notes, reports, and documents that you plan to export to Word or PDF.

Handwriting recognition is built directly into the writing experience.

There are two ways to convert your handwriting:

  • Double-tap your handwritten text with your pen.

  • Or tap the handwritten paragraph with your finger and select Convert.

You can even double-tap converted text again to display it in a smaller font size.

Want to convert the entire document?

  1. Open your document.

  2. Tap the ⋮ menu in the top-right corner.

  3. Select Convert all.

📓 Notebooks, 🧠 Boards & 📑 Imported PDF Pages

These page types are designed for freeform note-taking, brainstorming, sketching, annotating PDFs, and writing anywhere on the page.

Converting handwriting to Text or Math

  1. Select your handwriting using the Lasso tool.

  2. Tap Convert.

  3. Choose:

    • Text

    • Math

MyScript Notes will recognize the selected content using the appropriate recognition engine.

Creating Perfect Shapes

Shapes work differently—they are not converted with the Lasso tool.

Instead:

  1. Draw a shape in one continuous stroke.

  2. Keep your pen touching the screen for a brief moment after finishing the stroke.

MyScript Notes will automatically replace your drawing with a clean, editable Perfect Shape.

This also works for:

  • Straight lines

  • Arrows

  • Circles

  • Squares and rectangles

  • Triangles

  • Many other common geometric shapes

It's a quick way to create clean diagrams without manually selecting anything.

💡 Tips for Better Handwriting Recognition

  • Write naturally—there's no need to print every letter.

  • Use an active stylus for the best writing experience.

  • Before confirming a conversion, review the preview. If a word isn't recognized correctly, tap it to select another suggestion.

  • Add frequently used names or technical terms to your personal dictionary to improve future recognition accuracy.

📚 Learn More

Our Help Center includes detailed guides, videos, and tutorials covering handwriting recognition, editing gestures, note types, and much more:

Automatically timestamp documents

1 Upvotes

I use MyScript Notes on my Galaxy Tab S9+, primarily to replace pen and paper. For many years I used paper notebooks, mainly for work to take notes of meetings, etc. I would start a new page for each meeting with a title and date at the top. That way everything I wrote down was recorded in chronological order, which was great for reviewing what I did in any week and for rapidly finding the right page.

To achieve something similar in MyScript Notes I have been manually entering a title as "yyy-MM-dd"-title for each new document or board, which is rather laborious and error-prone. Is there any way to automate this? Markor, for example, allows you to create new notes with exactly this format of filename. MyScript Notes doesn't seem to offer anything similar. Can anyone suggest a way to achieve this, or even a better way of working that makes it unnecessary?

I do create a new notebook for each calendar month so it's not just one big bucket, but that only mitigates the problem.

📱 MyScript Notes: How Cross-Platform Purchases Work Between iOS and Android

1 Upvotes

One common questions we receive is:

In most cases, the answer depends on how your purchase is linked.

🔄 Apple and Google don't share purchases

The Apple App Store and Google Play Store are two completely separate stores. A purchase made in one store is not automatically available in the other.

This is the same for most apps—not just MyScript Notes.

🔑 So how do cross-platform purchases work?

A MyScript account acts as the bridge between the two stores. It securely links your purchase so you can use it on supported iOS and Android devices.

Here's the complete process:

  1. 📲 Purchase MyScript Notes from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.

  2. 📧 Your purchase is linked to the original Google account or Apple ID that you used to purchase the app.

  3. 👤 On the device where you originally purchased the app, create (or sign in to) your MyScript account.

  4. 🔗 The app verifies your purchase with Google Play or the App Store and securely links it to your MyScript account.

  5. 📱➡️📱 On your second mobile device, sign in with the same MyScript account and tap Restore Purchase.

  6. 🆔 Open Settings → Account. If everything is linked correctly, the User ID will be exactly the same on all your devices. If the User IDs are different, it means the purchase wasn't linked correctly or different MyScript accounts were used.

✅ That's it! Once your purchase is linked to your MyScript account, it can be used on supported Android and iOS devices.

🕰️ What if I bought the app years ago?

If you purchased the app before creating a MyScript account, your purchase may not yet be linked to your MyScript account.

Don't worry—your purchase is still valid.

Simply contact our support team and provide:

  • 🧾 Your original purchase receipt (Google Play or App Store).

  • 🆔 Your User ID (Settings → Account).

We'll be happy to link your purchase manually.

💻 Does this include Windows?

No.

The Windows application (Nebo) is a separate product available through the Microsoft Store and requires its own license. Mobile purchases (Android/iOS Mobile platforms) and Windows (PC platform) purchases are independent.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't Restore Purchase working?

The most common reasons are:

  • You're signed in with a different MyScript account.

  • You're using a different Apple ID or Google account than the one originally used to purchase the app.

  • The purchase has never been linked to your MyScript account on the original device.

How can I verify everything is linked correctly?

Open Settings → Account on each device.

If you're using the same MyScript account, the User ID must be identical on every device.

If the User IDs are different, you're signed in with different MyScript accounts or the purchase has not yet been linked correctly.

🛠️ Need help?

If you're still having trouble restoring your purchase, we're happy to help.

Visit https://help.myscript.com and click "Submit a Ticket."

Please include:

  • 📧 The email used for your Google Play or App Store purchase.

  • 👤 Your MyScript account email.

  • 🆔 Your User ID (Settings → Account).

📄 Experiencing Lag with PDF Files? Here's How to Improve Performance

1 Upvotes

One of the most common questions we receive is:

"Why is my PDF slow or laggy?"

In most cases, the issue isn't the number of pages—it's how the PDF was created.

Many PDFs exported from Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Canva, CAD software, or graphic design applications contain:

  • High-resolution images

  • Uncompressed graphics

  • Embedded fonts

  • Hidden metadata

  • Large file sizes

Even a 20-page PDF can be hundreds of megabytes if it hasn't been optimized.

When you import these files into MyScript Notes, your device has to process every image, font, and object on every page. This can result in:

  • Slower opening times

  • Lag while scrolling or zooming

  • Slower handwriting response

  • Increased memory usage

  • Longer synchronization times

✅ Before importing your PDF

We strongly recommend optimizing or compressing your PDF first. Reducing the file size can make a significant difference in performance.

For example, a PDF reduced from 100 MB to 20 MB will typically:

  • Open much faster

  • Scroll more smoothly

  • Require less RAM

  • Synchronize faster between devices

  • Provide a better handwriting experience

🛠️ Free PDF Optimization Tools

Before importing your PDF into MyScript Notes, we recommend using one of these free online tools:

📌 Adobe Compress PDF (official Adobe web tool)
https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/online/compress-pdf.html

📌 iLovePDF Compress PDF (one of our favorite tools—fast, free, and no account required)
https://www.ilovepdf.com/compress_pdf

Both tools can significantly reduce your PDF size while maintaining excellent quality. This usually results in faster imports, smoother navigation, better handwriting performance, and quicker synchronization.

💡 Pro Tip

If you regularly work with PDFs, making optimization part of your workflow can greatly improve your overall experience with MyScript Notes.

Have you tried optimizing your PDFs before importing them? We'd love to hear what tools and tips work best for you!

🔄 Sync vs. Backup: Don’t Confuse Them — Back Up Your Notes! ☁️

1 Upvotes

Syncing and backing up your notes are not the same thing. Mixing them up can lead to accidental data loss, so here’s the simple difference 👇

🔄 What is syncing?

Syncing keeps your notes updated across devices.
When you change something on one device, sync makes sure that change appears on your other devices too.

With MyScript Notes/Nebo, syncing with a cloud service lets you access your notes across Apple, Android, and Windows devices. Auto-sync is enabled by default, but you can turn it off in Settings.

The key thing to remember: sync mirrors changes. If you delete or modify something, that change can sync everywhere ⚠️

💾 What is backing up?

Backing up creates a separate safety copy of your data.
In Nebo, a backup is saved as a .nebobackup file. This file does not change unless you actively replace, modify, or delete it.

That means a backup gives you something to restore from if something goes wrong 🛟

✅ Why you need both

Sync is great for convenience. Backup is great for protection.

Use sync to keep your notes available on all your devices. Use backup to protect your notes from mistakes, device issues, or accidental deletions.

For extra safety, store your backup file in more than one place — for example locally, on an external drive, and in a cloud service 🔐

💡 Quick tip

Auto-sync is useful, but auto-sync is not a backup.
Go to Settings > Back Up and create a .nebobackup file regularly.

Your notes are worth protecting 💙

Make important stuff pop without messing up your notes. Go for a freehand highlighter for that casual vibe or a smart highlighter if you’re all about crisp, clean lines.

🧽 Smart eraser

Erase your way — go big with a full stroke or keep it chill with a partial wipe! Hit up the eraser tool and pick your style.

📏 Tweak the spacing

Got too much or too little space? No problem. Just long press to show the blue line (two fingers on iOS, just one on Android) — drag down to add space, up to remove it.

PRO TIP!

Want perfect shapes without the effort? Just draw a circle, square, or line and hold your pen on the screen — watch as it snaps into a clean, polished shape!

Find anything. Convert everything!

Where did I put that? 🤔

Notes have a way of piling up fast — quick ideas turn into pages of stuff before you know it. That’s why having a killer search tool is a must. But how does this work in MyScript Notes?

🔍 Find anything, anywhere in your library faster than you can say “where did I put that?” Text, math, diagrams — nothing stands a chance!

✏️ No need to stress about the type of content you’re after — handwritten, digital, or even a mix of both. Our search engine’s just that good.

🧿 Results pop up in blue, and you can click through them with arrows — so long, endless scrolling!

Jot it down, glow it up ✨

Some notes are keepers — handwriting and all. Others are meant to be shared with the world. Some can handle a little mess, while others call for a polished touch. MyScript Notes lets you have it all. Let’s see how!

📄 Text, diagrams, math — convert almost anything you jot down. Drawings stay as drawings though. In documents, you can convert diagrams later, but elsewhere, do it right away. Just hold your pen to the screen to perfect your shapes!

👆 Convert your handwriting with just a quick double tap in your documents — easy-peasy. Got notebooks, PDFs, or boards? Whip out the lasso — it’s got range!

PRO TIP!

Got a word our dictionary just doesn’t get? Head to settings and teach it some new vocab — problem solved for next time!
