  2. create an app also for Windows

    Can you create an app also for Windows? It would so much easier if I could not only see but also edit my notes on my laptop. Really hope you will create an app in the near future.

  3. Greek ocr for handwritten notes

    After many years of use I can only say that for me the only missing feature is the ability to convert Greek handwritten notes into text. Is there any chance of this coming to GoodNotes any time soon?

  7. Ability to “ go back “ to previous page or screen after clicking a hyperlink

    I would love the ability to go back to previous screen or page instead of having to scroll through after clicking a embedded link . For example I use a digital planner and while I’m looking at weekly view I might click Monday for example, thus taking me far away from my weekly page. I then have to swipe through or go up to my bookmarks to get back. A simple gesture or button that’s essentially backs up would be the greatest user friendly improvement .

  8. Convert page

    Great App!!!
    I use the Zoom Windows to write notes. I encode items like reminders and events with title, date time, list name, and people using delimiters such as '#today$Buy some milk€Shopping' for a reminder or '$Risk meeting for ProjectX#23/7/18t12h30-13h00@Me;Email.address@domain.com' for an event. I then select the writing using the Lasso Tool to convert to text. I then share this text with Workflow extensions I have created which parses the examples into a reminder or event etc. It works great ;-)
    A long-shot... but... Could you create a button which lassos the area between the top and bottom…

    considering  ·  AdminGoodnotes (Moderator, GoodNotes) responded

    Definitely a very interesting idea but quite complex and probably only relevant for very tech-savvy power users. We’re not sure but maybe it is already doable using Shortcuts, as other apps can read the converted text.

  9. Ability to quickly duplicate current page

    As part of my workflow, I am quite regularly wanting to insert a new page with just parts of what is on on my current page.

    There are two ways I can accomplish this at the moment:

    1. Open the multi-page view, tap edit, select the current page, tap copy, tap done, tap +, tap the + in a circle where I want to insert the page, tap "Paste Copied Pages", tap done, select my newly inserted page, use the lasso tool to select the parts of the pages I do not want to keep, and delete them.

    2. Use the lasso…

  10. Handwriting Recognition for Hebrew

    I purchased GoodNotes 5, but to my disappointment, it had no Handwriting Recognition support for Hebrew at all.

    Handwriting Recognition for Hebrew is critical to my use case, and without it, I have to use another program and recommending it over yours to my students.

    Hopefully, it will be added before the beginning of the semester.

    As a starting point, even partial support would be sufficient.

    thank you for understanding.

  13. Proved a scale tool for measurements

    I work in engineering and am always using an engineer's scale or architects scale. I use goodnotes primarily to keep all of my project plans organized in one location. I would be helpful to have a scale tool that would allow me to measure the plans according to the scale provided on the plans.

  14. More languages recognised would be amazing, especially the nordic languages as Danish and Norwegian, as they have special characters

    It would be really nice if the Nordic languages, such as Danish and Norwegian was recognised, especially when doing handwriting to text.

    try this instead  ·  AdminGoodnotes (Moderator, GoodNotes) responded

    Thanks for the suggestion. For now, please try opening the same document in two windows side by side. You can drag and drop the page from thumbnail view to the side and navigate both windows independently.

  17. Multi-lingual Handwriting Recognition

    In my work I write a lot in both Italian and English. This is somewhat a problem because handwriting recognition in GoodNotes seems to work only for one language at a time. And the switch between languages takes time. have you planned future improvements of the app to address the needs of people working in multi-lingual environments?
