SpeedText 4+

I’ve had the Speed Text app on my iPad since 2010. I use it daily when I’m away to send sales orders into my company. It has worked well until my recent purchase of the new iPad Pro 11. When I used Speed Text with the newest version of the iPad the app crashed. I was happy to find the same app available that works with the new iPad in the App Store. It was only $1.99. I highly recommend it. It’s worth the money.

In my office, I take constant notes, which can stack up on my desk making it hard to find what I need. And there are plenty of times where work calls me out of my office, and instead of dragging a stack of notes around, I have it all organized.

I bought a stylus for my iphone a long time ago (which I recommend doing) so i don't have that problem with the lack of room to write.

But I will say that it makes your handwriting look a little shotty, but not so bad to where you can't read it...unless you can't read your own handwriting to begin with. Overall, I'm impressed. I look forward to seeing more updates.

I _really_ like this update. It is, nearly, what I'd like as an ink note supplement for Evernote. You can input your Evernote credentials, and then you can very easily and quickly export a highly legible version of your SpeedText ink note into Evernote, which looks lovely in Evernote (and, I think, can be parsed by Evernote so you can search your fulltext--though Evernote does a terrible job with my scrawly handwriting).

Its interface is nicer, IMHO, than TanzakuPad, and its exported text is much more legible (again for me) than the text from Dan Bricklin's (very innovative and very nice) Note Taker or TanzakuPad.

However, there seems to be a bug with the scrolling, at least on my iPod Touch 3.x: sometimes I'll seem to reach the end of the "pad," and just grey space will show below the input pad. If I continue to enter text and export the image, that text shows up on the exported image (but not on the SpeedText screen). This happens at various lengths of "pad," and it's not quite clear to me what's happening. On the plus side, you don't lose any text with this bug. On the down side, though, it is distracting to try to enter text "blind."

Overall, though, in my view, if you like to take ink notes and use Evernote, you really should give this program a try. It is the best of the bunch right now, IMHO.
