Click to expand. I have looked at several apps that do this. One that I found useful was Paper Desk. There is a lite version you may try but it is limited. Last night during a meeting there was an rapid fire announcement section lasting about five minutes. I had Paper Desk open and was going to take notes but I hit on the idea of recording into my notes the speaker himself. It worked like a charm, although at first I had no idea where the recording went.

Whiteboard App for Mac. Need an easy way to map out ideas on the go? Lucidchart acts as a whiteboard app for the iPad or any Mac devices.

All I had was a record tab at the bottom which changed to a Stop tab so I could close out the recording. It appears when you select the record tab and an existing recording is present a little bookmark tab appears at the bottom which when selected pops up your recordings. While playing them back I was able to either hand write notes or typewrite my notes.

I could play the audio back again and again to make sure I wrote down all the dates and details. I was able to send these to others as PDF documents of one document per page. The audio files did not transfer off the iPad. Since the mic is on the top pointed at the speaker this went fairly well and I could highly recommend this for note taking. I only need to experiment to see how many minutes or hours I can record. Also I noticed I had a couple of recordings and when I went to play them back I launched multiple audio streams as I sampled them. That was weird, but interesting.

You can stop them individually so it isn't a show stopper. It was just user error on my part. A note taking app was one of the primary reasons I bought an iPad so I have tried at least 6 of them, plus two different styli with a third on the way. Here are my thoughts. Penultimate -- currently this one is my favorite in terms of a pure handwriting app. There is zero lag when you are writing and no jagged digitizing effects on the lines you write.

Thus, it seems the most like actual writing. However, the app is very simply in its feature set. One color and size of pen and one eraser. You can keep multiple notebooks of multiple pages so that's good for organizing by case, project, class, etc. You can email notes and notebooks.

Currently probably my favorite for just taking notes although I sure wish it did some of the things the other apps do. Ghostwriter -- I just disovered this app this week.

Hadn't read about it anywhere else. This one also has fairly natural feeling writing although with some lag. It has a variety of pens and pencils and highliters too. But what sets this app apart from any other I have tried thus far is that it has a mode where you can write in an enlarged box that then perfectly shrinks your writing down to size on the lined paper.

So you can fit much more on the page than with Penultimate for example. Writing in the box is actually quite easy and it works very well. You can also email notes and notebooks, although I haven't discovered a way to do so in pdf format yet. Overall a very solid contender especially if you want to get as much writing on the page as you normally would with a real pad of paper. Take Notes -- I really wanted to love this one the most, but it just isn't great at handwriting. You can import in various backgrounds, be it different paper types or even a pdf document you can then write or highlight on.
