NOTABILITY

One of the apps I use most and has become utterly indispensible is NOTABILITY. A note taking application that is maxed out.

It works on mac/pc and iOS devices, can import just about anything from photos, sounds, links, pdfs, graphs, shapes etc. and, most important for me, works perfectly with an Apple pencil on iPad. Everything is automatically synced across all platforms and every sketch I make is in 'vector' format so it can be zoomed into infinitely. Essentially it makes all sketches analogue rather than digital.

The reason I bring it up is the the newest update will take all handwritten notes (I have 100's) and make them searchable. It can even convert notes to speech. I've been playing with the new version all morning and it's amazing. All my notes are written in calligraphy or my own hand writing and being able to search through these now is something I wasn't expecting. Even without an iPad it's well worth a look. It is very suitable for young 'uns too as it is incredibly simple yet is capable of super advanced functionality if needed. Another reason it's good is that a child can practice handwriting because the program will read it correctly if it can be read and does this at a near human level.
