![]() ![]() I tried Goodnotes and Penultimate-Goodnotes is a universal app for iPhone and iPad, while Penultimate is an iPad only app. Evernote has Penultimate which is free, otherwise there are others like Goodnotes, Forge, and Notes Plus. You can use a variety of note taking apps that will recognize the Jot Script 2 and connect directly with the stylus. As usage continues it is something that could fade from awareness, though it might bother people in a meeting with you. It’s actually a claimed benefit of this second version, but it is still definitely noticeable-at least at first. That’s the tapping or clicking sound the stylus tip makes as it lifts up and down from the glass. When you’re not charging it and actually using it, there is one thing I found a little bothersome while testing it. In terms of ways to keep the stylus small and still employ a clever method for getting it charged, this is one of the better ones I’ve seen. It has a circular opening which holds the pen standing up magnetically as it’s plugged into a USB port for charging. It’s a small USB dongle which resembles a flash drive used to store data, but it’s not. One of the neat aspects of the stylus is its method for recharging the (20-hour usage rated) battery. Things like line rendering were done well, though. The stylus claims to have faster performance with faster stroke tracking and smooth line rendering, but since I never used the first Jot Script, I didn’t notice that difference. It’s thinner than the previous model and has been reworked to perform better as well. Everything about the Jot Script 2 feels nice in the hand. Digitally handwriting something is fine, but compared to typing don’t see it answer the question of: why?Īs far as the Jot Script 2 is concerned, it’s a great option for those that need a sturdy stylus. It’s like broadcast TV compared to on-demand service, it used to be fine waiting for shows to come on until it was common to just pick from a list of available shows. I write occasional notes and interview questions down in a notebook, but testing the Jot Script 2 I found myself not caring to actually write notes versus typing them. The truth of the matter is that handwriting might be more of a fantasy now than an actual reality. I wouldn’t ever say writing by hand is doomed or shouldn’t be used, but in the context of computers, tablets, and phones, the opportunity may have passed to make it a viable option. ![]() ![]() There’s also the consideration that for some people, the time for handwritten input on a digital device has been skipped over. But currently it feels a little like forcing a square peg into a round hole. If you can’t, then you’ll probably hate it-though it shouldn’t be seen as the fault of stylus makers.Īdonit, which makes the Jot Script 2, is making a valiant effort to give people the tools to do their jobs in different ways beyond keyboard input. If you can get past that and deal with those limitations, writing on the iPad works fine. Of course a stylus can be used, but accuracy and feel are often lackluster. Its touch input recognition was always intended for something the size of a finger-same goes for the iPhone. The first thing you should be aware of is that the iPad isn’t really made for precise writing utensils. Want to take notes on your iPad? You can definitely grab any stylus and notes app and just start writing, but the results might be a little disappointing. ![]()
