hey guys Davey here from bumble calm and in this video I'm doing a review on the S note application available on the samsung galaxy note 10.1 which I have over here and also some of the other galaxy note devices out there on the market now when you first open up the application you're taken to this screen now because I do have it in landscape mode we're gonna get a tool bar over here on the left side that shows us all the folders that we have within the app and on the right side it's the contents of the folder that's currently selected so for example if I were to switch over to a different folder you're gonna see different content within it now these are just pre-installed ones that Samsung put on pretty much just to give you an idea as far as you know what you could do with this note application so for example under the business folder I could tap on something like financial information and it would just give me a quick example of you know what I could do with this application you know giving you this kind of ideas as far as how you could use this application to your advantage something that is useful though is that these two little notes right over here which is productivity tool tips which basically shows you how to use this application to your advantage so it's a quick you know guide as far as you know what you do of course I will be doing that in this video as well so you will necessarily need that some s note tips and tricks basically just to give you a better idea as far as if you forget on how to use something so anyway let's go ahead and go right into it first thing you need to do to open up a new note of course its press this plus icon here at the top you're just gonna tap on this guy and you have to select between these templates over here you can do a regular note an idea note meeting note magazine etc for the purpose of this video I'm just gonna be going over the notes and idea notes because the other ones are kind of similar and you know pretty much you get the point with the first two so I'm just gonna tap one note and you can see I'm taking to the screen which basically I have a blank notepad now if I wanted to scroll up and down all I have to do is tap on the top left over here which takes me out of edit mode to view move view mode so I could view my notepad if I want to bring that toolbar back up I tap this arrow I'm gonna hit edit mode again I get my toolbar and from a to Worr I have different options for example right now one the handwriting I could write whatever I want if I tap on this guy I'm gonna get a whole bunch of options to change the thickness of my stroke with my pen I could change what kind of you know penny would be for example I can go from a pen to a paint brush to I don't even know what that is a pencil anyway you guys get the idea can change the colors to whatever color I want and of course like I said I can make a thicker or thinner and you know say I wanted that hit X and there you go so that's that you have an undo and forward button so I'm just gonna go ahead and undo those two little strokes that I did now what's really cool is you also have this little formula bar or formula toolbar option so you see the little graph over here you can't really do anything with it yet if you tap it again you have an option you can do formula match you can do shape match and you can do handwriting to text now I'm gonna do formula match first because it does show up first so I'm gonna go ahead and select that so you see over here I have just a little chart now what's cool with there's a say for example you want to do an algebra problem or if you need help with your homework or whatever you're using it for which I had this you know when I was in school for example if I did you know hope might not work with this think stroke let's go ahead and try to make this a little thinner and it's go black and we use a pencil alright let's go right back to it so say for example I had a homework problem it was x squared + 25 X minus 43 equals I don't know say 21 you would you know have to solve that and obviously if you're doing for homework you want to do yourself but what's cool is you can use the search button and it'll actually go into dual window mode which is something that you know it's on the Galaxy Note 10.1 which basically allows you to use one application left side the screen one application the right or if you go in portrait mode it's it's a top and bottom and obviously it's because this device so powerful with this akeno's processor and whatnot it's able to do it so anyway we actually get the answer so this is the input right that's what I put in and then you actually get the graph you get the alternate forms of writing it and you get the solutions for X honestly really also I like I said I really wish I had this I'm definitely a great tool here you know if you're in school whether in high school college and you want help I want to be able to do your work on a tablet I mean nothing's really gonna be that so if you want to get out of dual window mode you're just gonna tap this X now first example let's say I wanted this not because I'm right-handed I want this on the right side and this on the left side I could actually tap this button right over here and hit switch windows so if flip-flops them puts the work on the left and I could continue doing my work here on the right so that's it gives you a quick idea as far as how that works and go ahead and X out of that and we'll go and show you the next one which is shape match so let's do a shape for example so let's say I wanted to draw a triangle that's a pretty bad triangle but you can see it kind of fixes it up for me now if I wanted to make you know a better one I could probably like that let's say I made a circle and you know if all this kind of makes your shapes a little bit you know better looking I'm gonna try to change my pencil settings here I'm gonna go to the pen because it seems a little bit better now there's a erase function right over here I'm gonna go ahead and erase out of here and one more time I'll demonstrate a square because I'm horrible at drawing squares but thankfully for this app it's whoops I have to go into shape mode all right right again let's do a square and you can see it makes it perfect oh that's a rectangle but you guys get the idea to do a circle it's gonna make a perfect circle for me no matter how big or how small I want to make it so really cool a bunch of shapes work you know I could do a star and this is gonna make the edges you know pointing straight lines flow for example if I draw a line like this are actually let's do a straight line you can see it makes it perfectly straight so I could literally draw a rectangle one by one like that and it's gonna look perfect last thing is handwriting's text pretty simple to say I write you know my name so it's right David I don't know if it's gonna get that there you go yeah I did so David pretty much translates my handwriting to actual typing which is pretty cool if you prefer to write instead of type so go ahead and get out of there when you tap the text button this is where you could actually type if you wanted to type instead of using handwriting and of course the eraser function I already showed you you could erase everything on the right side other than the back and four buttons do you have an option to input a some kind of picture for example you could take a picture of your camera you can scroll through your own images in your gallery or a clipboard which is what you copy and pasted Maps clipart text box of shape so is this tap on clipart and see what they have and when I tap on this guy you can see I have a whole bunch of little artwork that I could choose from so I could choose you know a little camera a little pencil whatever it is kind of like it is on you know Microsoft Word so pretty much that's really what they're aiming to do I could also record a memo if I wanted and lastly you put my favorite function on here especially because it's a big tablet and if you really want to use you know the s-pen there's this operator up here which you can see I had it enabled by the fact that it was highlighted in blue what this does is it's basically stands for s S Pen only so when I it's on only in the S Pen washer so for example right now I go like that well that's kind of works I got out my finger it works problem is you know something I'm trying to write something and my pinkie will start to write you know because I'm using I place my fist or my other side of my hand on the screen and it kind of messes me up and I was actually having trouble with it before I even knew this existed then I typed this guy now I could write all I want with my finger and it's not gonna do anything so that way only the S Pen recognizes your input and you know honestly it works a lot better just like a paper you know your hand is gonna write down anything on a piece of paper this really makes it feel like you have a piece of paper in your tablet so definitely really cool functionality I'm go ahead and close out of here now and we'll go ahead and take a look at the other template that I said I was gonna talk about which is the idea note now for the most part this is similar I mean you have the same tools over here as you did as far as the toolbar goes but the one major difference is you actually have an option to record a sketching so for example if I tap on this and you can see now it's flashing it's recording I could actually write so I'll write you know phone buff rocks ok so to actually view the sketch that I just made all I have to do is hit this play button so you have to go into View mode like I said so right now I'm in edit mode I'm gonna be you know writing whatever I want on the screen but when I tap on this the input not gonna work is it's gonna scroll up and down like I showed you earlier but on the tool or you see I have an option to hit play so I'm just gonna hit play and you can see it pretty much recorded everything I was writing so it's a cool way to uh you know look at you know what your work and how you did it so I don't know just a cool little idea that Samsung included with their software I don't know how useful it'll be for some people but I thought it's pretty cool so I'm go ahead and delete that we'll go ahead and back out of here and yeah that's pretty much it on the eslint application I mean so far you know I've really really enjoyed it you know I used it on the Galaxy Note and I don't even know if they call it s no I think they call it something else I'm not sure but anyway it's a lot better now and you know you have a whole bunch options of course you get import you know other notes you can share them you can move them you could go to settings and adjust some of the things on here for example if you want s-pen on audio our Auto video tags you know all this stuff so anyway I'll go ahead and back out of here and hopefully this gives you a better idea as far as you know what the S note application brings to the table I'll go ahead and open up a few of these other templates just to guys we get a quick look at it so here's the recipe template and you can see you can add images of you know a recipe you want to make so you just got to tap and hold right over here and then you would take a picture or go to images and you know choose a picture that you want to include in your recipe book for example so I only have a screenshot now let's go ahead and enter that as an example and see how it works and there you go so it enters in nice neatly into the template and you know I could go ahead and start writing my little recipe and then maybe send it to somebody that I want to share it with but anyway that's pretty much it for me in this video hopefully this gives you a better day if you guys have any questions on s note and how it works to sleep uh leave them in the comments below and I'll try to get back to them as soon as I can but other than that that's it for me this video if you found it helpful please hit the like button it helps me out a lot and subscribe to the channel
