Handwrite digital notes

- [Instructor] Do you have many handwritten notes? Like meeting notes on a legal pad, ideas on napkins, maybe a process on an office whiteboard. I'd like to show you how you can take digitally handwritten notes in one place. A OneNote notebook. Handwriting notes works best on a touch enabled device with a stylist for writing. I'll be demonstrating how to do this with an Apple iPad and an Apple Pencil. You don't have to have the same setup as me. It's all a matter of the technology that you have available and the preferred stylus that's most comfortable for you for writing. Before we begin here in the mobile application, I'd like to point out that we're going to be working from the Draw ribbon. When we go to this Draw ribbon all the way over to the right side, you'll see an icon that looks like a little hand holding a stylus. By selecting this you can make sure that Drawing mode is turned on. By default it should be. That's the toggle switch that you see here for Draw with Touch. By selecting Stylus Orientation you can choose your writing style. This helps the application to be more accurate with how it's capturing your writing and getting that digital inking on the page. You'll notice I already have one set, but you can select any of these to update that setting. I'm going to go back and set it back to my style. Next, let's go ahead from this Draw ribbon and select the color of the pen or the highlighter that we would like to write with. Right now, black is chosen. And if I select this again I have a menu of the different thicknesses I'd like to work with for the line or the colors, including some patterns that I can work with. If I need additional ink colors I can select More Ink Colors, and then pick any custom color I want from this palette, and then select Apply. I'm going to select the arrow though to go back to this menu. Let's go ahead and for the title of this let's pick the galaxy ink. And I'm going to go ahead and keep it at the thickness that it's at right now. And I'm going to just tap outside of that to have the menu disappear. I'm going to write a title for this page in that area where you write a title. What I'd like you to look at after I write it is over in the left panel, where it shows the untitled page, how it's displaying that inked handwritten title in that area. All right, let's call this our summer ideas. So I'm going to write Summer Ideas. And you can see that it's appearing over in that left panel. If your handwriting goes a little bit below that line it's going to cut off whatever you have there. So if you make any mistakes or need to make corrections you do have an eraser you can work with here on the Draw ribbon. I'm going to go ahead and erase this. I'm going to pick that galaxy pen one more time and I'm going to write just a little smaller. It looks a little bit better. All right, now I'm going to go into here again and I'm going to choose just to write my list in black, tap outside of this. And I can write anywhere on the page. I can have several different containers for that as well. So let's get a couple of our ideas on paper. So one of the ideas we have is a surf camp for the kids. Another idea that we have for summer things at Landon Hotel is maybe some barbecue classes. And that is a bit of handwriting. If you make any mistakes, like you touched down here, we can go ahead and touch that up with our eraser. You have several pens and highlighters here that you can work with and notice that there's a plus sign to the right side of that list. You can set up your own custom pen or highlighter. Pick the color, pick the thickness, and have several of these set up and ready to use. You might want to have maybe red for doing some editing, or maybe green for checking off and approving things. It's all up to how you would like to customize and work with the drawing capabilities to hand write your digital notes. And that's how you can hand write notes in OneNote
