If you’re not getting enough life out of your gadgets, you can fix that too. Tap or click for 8 ways you’re ruining your PC. The truth is, I like the feeling of an actual pen on paper. Maybe you do, too, but that doesn’t mean you can’t digitize all your notes for easier searching and sorting. Here’s how. Get smart (notes) Ever wish you could turn your handwritten notes into something you can search or edit on your computer, phone, or tablet? You could take a picture, but that has a few limitations. For example, you won’t be able to search for certain phrases or edit the text. You need something made for the job. A terrific way to get a handwritten note into your computer is to use the app Evernote. You simply take a picture of the note, and Evernote turns it into a searchable document. You can also organize your notes in folders and with labels. Another great resource you should check out is Microsoft’s OneNote app. You take a picture of your writing and, like Evernote, can organize things into notebooks and pages. Pro tip: Keep in mind the apps only work well with legible handwriting. If they aren’t picking up your notes, you’re going to have to slow down a bit.
