First impression of Note3 and some questions
Well, I just received the Note3 yesterday and I played a little with it.
It is a big jump from my older M96. A lot of things missing in M96 are now in Note3. The first impression is real real good. Wow. I have some questions about some things I missed, maybe you may have already talked about in the past: a) I did not found a way to export notes in a png or pdf format. How can I export notes? b) I only read ePubs, not pdf. The the ability to annotate ePubs with free-stroke is really great, but I have some fears: how can I export this kind of notes/scribbles? Changing margins, or font size "destroy" the notes, reducing them to a little icon. This is ok for writing, but not for underlined or circled words. And, BYW, how can I delete a "little icon" with a note inside? c) Why there is only chinese and english dictionary for voice-to-text translation? d) I want to make some keyboard experiment writing: what app/word processor is the better for fast typing? Thank you Fabrizio |

The voice to text is likely using Baidu rather than Google so it doesn't have anything other than dialects of Chinese and English. If you're serious about doing lots of dictation you should probably use Google translate or similar based apps. It's also your choice of who you prefer listening to your voice and recording what you are doing... For testing typing speed I suggest that you get a normal USB keyboard, plug into the OTG adapter and then compare with a Bluetooth keyboard. In my experiments they are pretty much the same, the eInk display slows everything down. If you just want a super simple app to type with then Writer Plus (in the Onyx app store under Study) is probably one of the fastest but I use AndrOpen Office for functionality. |

Also jota. Text Editor. I'd keep the software simple, at least for a test.

I made some tests with Jota. The "A2" refresh is quite good, but oblivious there are many artifacts on the screen. It is a little better writing white on black, but I'm not in love writing white on black. I also discovered a weird thing: in app optimization preferences I can choose "normal" quality, "regal", fast, A2 and Xmode. There is also a preference for ask a refresh after some operations. Well, the refresh is working only in "normal"mode. The refresh preference is ignored if I'm using, for example, fast mode. I don't know if this is a feature or a bug, but if I use fast mode or A2 mode for a while, the screen begins to be full of artifacts and there is not refresh at all. (except the regal mode, that makes a refresh for every user action). Is there a way to use fast or A2 mode and have a automatic refresh every x number of user actions?
