It’s why I went for an iPad Pro over an older model without Pencil support.įirst of all, the Pencil is much more responsive than a non-Bluetooth enabled stylus. Multiple studies have shown that you recall information more accurately and elevate comprehension when you take handwritten notes.įor that reason, I really wanted the Apple Pencil to replicate the handwriting experience. Writing with the Apple PencilĪs a step in the writing process, taking notes – and handwritten notes in particular – is crucial. If I could get this best-of-all-worlds workflow set up without a dozen apps and multiple exports/imports each time I make a note, I’d be delighted. I have also dreamed of credible handwriting recognition, so I can search across my notes without having to manually type them up ( which I used to do). I value the tactility of writing with a pen: The slowness, the deliberateness, the freedom of writing on the page and making marks wherever I want.īut I also want the benefits of going fully digital: Having my notes synchronised and backed up in the cloud, ready to read across devices and easily shareable with others. My goal for my tech setup and writing workflow over the last few years has been to find a way to take the best bits from the analogue and digital worlds. Should writers buy an iPad Pro and Pencil? The iPad Pro has been in my toolkit for just under a year now, so I thought I’d discuss my experience with it so far from a handwriting perspective.
