7.7 Notes
Notes helps you to quickly capture thoughts, questions, reminders,
to-do lists, and meeting notes. You can create handwritten and typed
notes, record voice notes, convert handwritten notes to text for easy
readability, and send notes to others.
Entering information in Notes
There are several ways to enter information in a note. You can enter
typed text by using the on-screen keyboard or handwriting recognition
software. You can also use the stylus to write or draw directly on the
screen. On devices that support recording, you can create a stand-
alone recording or embed a recording in a note.
