A Must-have For Writing Books And Taking Notes On Mac! Scrivener Integrates PDF/AI Functions And Is A Free Writing Tool

The note-taking software market has once again received a major update! This time, Notes Pro has launched dozens of new features at once, covering everything from voice notes to AI assistants, and from handwriting recognition to PDF in-depth editing. It has almost integrated all the creative tools that can be thought of. For professionals who need to process a large number of documents and notes every day, this is likely to be the most noteworthy upgrade of productivity tools this year.

Dual engines for voice notes and handwriting recognition

The voice note function of the new version of Notes Pro now supports real-time transcription of MBTI free tests . When reporters are conducting interviews, doctors are recording medical records, and students are listening to lectures, they can directly convert recordings into text. I saw several doctors at Peking University Third Hospital using this function to record ward rounds. They said the accuracy rate can reach more than 95%, which greatly reduces the burden of typing.

The handwriting to text conversion has also been greatly optimized and supports mixed recognition of Chinese and English. Professor Zhang from the Central Academy of Fine Arts tried it, and later told me that the sketches and notes he drew could be accurately recognized as text, even if they were scrawled artistic fonts, there was no problem at all. From now on, handwritten notes can be converted into standard documents with one click.

PDF in-depth editing and form filling

PDF processing capabilities are an extremely important part of this update. Now on PDF, you can edit text directly, add comments, highlight, and fill in and sign forms. In Shanghai, there is a law firm where Lawyer Wang claims that he needs to handle dozens of contracts every day. So far, with the help of Notes Pro MBTI personality test , modification and annotation operations can be implemented directly on PDF, and work efficiency has increased by at least 30%.

The newly added ePub reader is quite interesting. It supports annotation and notes on e-books. Professor Li from East China Normal University is using this function to annotate academic papers. He said that annotations can be categorized and managed, making them very convenient to search and more practical than paper books.

Smart Organization and Tree Projects

Notebooks now have a more flexible organization style. You can build a tree-like project structure with unlimited levels, such as organizing content according to the level of "project, chapter, sub-chapter, notes." A product manager in a company specializing in the technology field in Shenzhen uses this function to manage product documents and connect requirements, design, and development documents together. There is no need to flip through folders when looking for information.

The advanced text search engine can quickly locate the content in all notes, and it supports full-text search and tag filtering. A freelance writer in Beijing told me that she had written more than 200 articles in the past three years, and now, with the help of the search function, she can find the content she needs in just a few seconds.

3-in-1 creative engine

The three major modules of word processor, handwriting engine and PDF editor are integrated into Notes Pro. When writing articles, you can use rich text format. It supports academic format requirements such as MLA and APA. When you need to draw, you can directly switch to the handwriting mode. Various strokes and colors are presented extremely naturally. When processing documents, you can use the PDF annotation function.

Several graduate students from Tsinghua University are using this software to write their papers. They especially like the split-screen function, which can open two reference and note windows at the same time, making it extremely convenient for comparative reading. Night mode and distraction-free typing mode also make late-night writing more comfortable.

Diverse templates and paper experience

Hundreds of templates and background papers have been newly added. These templates and background papers have various styles such as stripes, squares, dots, music notation, etc. Teacher Chen from the Central Conservatory of Music uses music notation templates to record creative inspiration. He said that the feel is not much different from writing on staff paper, but it is much more convenient to modify and save.

It has the functions of customizable paper size, customizable margins, customizable headers and footers, and can also set up automatic backup and password protection. Someone who is a sales director and travels frequently told me that it can be used normally even when it is completely offline on the plane. After landing, the notes will be automatically synchronized to all devices.

Cross-platform synchronization and multiple exports

Currently, Notes Pro supports the synchronization of many cloud services such as iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box. You can start writing notes at any time and anywhere with the help of iPhone. After arriving at the office, use iPad to continue editing. When you return home, you can finalize the notes through MacBook, and all content can be seamlessly connected.

The export formats of this software are rich and diverse, including PDF, RTF, Markdown, LaTeX, etc. There is a technology blogger in Hangzhou who often uses this software to write technical articles in 16personalities Chinese , export a specific Markdown format and publish it directly to the blog without any errors. This way, he can easily save a lot of trouble caused by multiple format conversions.
