Notas del editor
We have tried several note taking apps on the quest for the “perfect one”, only to realize, it might not exist.
Handwriting recognition is cool, but maybe more cumbersome for your style than its worth. A keyboard mixed with a great typing app would work better for you.
Absence of delete and arrow keys on the iPad can make for a frustrating keyboarding experience
As with any digital medium, there is a risk you can lose your work. Some apps offer more protection than others.
There can be a fair amount of screen glare when using the iPad at certain angles and in direct sunlight.
Evernote is a digital note taking tool available for your computer or mobile device
Evernote on the Web is constantly updating all of your computers and devices with the latest versions of your notes, so you'll always have the right information, wherever you are.
Evernote has a built-in text editor, but you can also take ‘digital ink’ notes with any mobile device that supports it such as the iPod, iPad, or other tablets, and some smart phones. Incidentally, one of the features that makes Evernote so powerful is text recognition. While it is typically faster to just type new notes in to the text editor, having the flexibility to take hand written digital ink notes is great for classes like physics where diagrams are frequent, and lots of other situations as well. Evernote can search your handwritten notes for specific words so you’ll always be able to find what you are looking for.
Write or type your notes, highlight, lasso tool to move stuff around and a palm rest.

Some come with a pen which is helpful if you are trying to go all paperless (some meetings require sign-in).
