Evernote for Android received support for handwritten notes
Sometimes a quick sketch by hand is the best way to express an idea. Whether it’s a meeting schedule, an equation to a university audience, or a thought on a trip - handwritten notes can help you quickly and easily capture your thoughts and observations.
When we started working on digital handwriting input to Evernote for Android, we understood that our approach would require more than just expanding the existing functionality of the application in yet another way to enter data into the account.
')
Practical implementation took us a lot of time. But, as it seems to us, we succeeded.

We integrated handwriting input into an existing interface so that you can quickly switch between handwriting to typing within a single note.
For example, if you are at a chemistry lecture, you can read the professor’s story from the keyboard, then sketch the structure of molecules and formulas by hand, return to typing, and simultaneously keep the audio recording of the lecture in parallel. All these materials are subject to the same idea, which means they should be kept together. This is what we wanted.
Writing mode
You can start writing in the note at any time. To do this, click on the clip in the menu at the top, and then on the pen icon. If you need more space, click on the plus at the bottom of the screen. To change the color or thickness of the lines, select the desired option. When finished, click the checkbox. After that, you can continue typing, add attachments, record sound, and add images to the note. All this is available in one place.
We are not indifferent to handwriting
Some of our engineers and developers decades ago were at the origin of modern digital handwriting input technologies. Relatively recently, we purchased Penultimate, a great iPad handwriting application. It is in our genes. We hope you also find this feature in Evernote on your Android phone or tablet useful.
Handwriting input is not the only improvement in this update. We also significantly improved the editor of notes, the camera and the function of editing images.
More editing options
We have added text marker and more advanced editing features to work with elements added to Evernote on other platforms. Also, you can now create links to notes to quickly move from one entry to another.
Fast shooting
Shooting mode is now at least twice as fast. All the problems with delays that users have complained of are now in the past.
And much more
In addition to all of the above, we fixed a number of errors and made Evernote more stable and easy to use.
