That grab text tip blew my mind!!
So glad you like this feature, Cyn. Thanks for watching!
Michael Truong you have to select the image after you open the note. Works fine on my iPhone 7+.
Btw these days it can grab hand-written text too, not 100% correct always but good enough usually
I use "OK Google" - "Take a note" or "Note to self". As Google Keep is my default notes app, it will save the audio file directly in there and convert it to text. Amazing!
Great hands-off way of capturing those notes quickly. Thanks for sharing, Malcolm.
@@Simpletivity You're welcome! Thanks for the useful vid in the first place
My most favorite feature so far. Audio, plus transcribed text to make it searchable and readable.
I use most of these features now. Another that I find useful is the ability to share a note with a friend. We are collaboratively creating a list of great walking trails. Love Keep!
Thanks so much for sharing! Yes, the ability to collaborate together is often overlooked.
Yes, you may create a shared ToDo list and as soon these tasks are done by someone, this someone may drop this item from the list, cool.
I've been using KEEP for years. Didn't know half of these tips. Great stuff. Thank you Scott.
I never knew Google Keep was this efficient. Will definitely use this app more!
Great to hear!
Thanks for these tips, Scott. Grab image text is great. I snap a lot of photos of information boards in museums. This makes reading them later a lot easier than scrolling around photos!
You're very welcome, Stephen. Have fun using this with your musuem photos!
Yes, this is one of the few I didn't know and can actually use!
I do this also. Otherwise, I would spend weeks in a single museum. 😊
Good for grabbing VIN numbers in repo and sales work
The location based reminder blew my mind.....totally useful for a scatter brain like me!!!
If you swipe up on the drawing tools I/o long touch that too opens up the options. Also the little arrow on the side once you open the options side offers a lot more colours.
Thanks for sharing your feedback.
Love the location notification when near the place i need do buy something. Especially for shopping centres.
So glad you liked that one, Malcolm.
Thanks so much for these mobile uses.....especially the voice to text
You are very welcome, David. Thanks for sharing your comments!
Thank you for the tips. I am using Google Keep more and more and seeing the features being used is so helpful. I often get caught up in my day and forget about the other buttons and features. I appreciate the time and effort you put into explaining things.
The set a reminder for place is excellent! I love all of the features of Google!
I've had this app for like a year now, and never knew i could do those things, thank you for this video! Very helpful in taking notes since i'm learning this quarantine!
All the best as you get the most out of Keep!
Great App & great tips...I thought #5 the location reminder option could be helpful to remind us to watch our speed when we're getting close to the speed cameras that send us those wonderful "traffic donation" notices in the mail when they catch us not paying attention to our driving speed because our minds our occupied with our business thoughts 😊
Thanks for all your tips and videos. GRH!
I truly enjoy these very useful tips that apply to the various apps. I often use Google Keep notes. The best tip for me was the one about grabbing an image. I was unaware of this function in Keep and will be using it just to discover it's various uses. I use Keep notes on my mobile devices, I find it most useful when I am using my Chromebook. I often use Keep notes in conjunction with Google Docs, so maybe a video of tips on how to take advantage of the integration between Keep notes and Google Docs would be helpful. I also find the presentation of these videos to most excellent!!! Happy New Year and have a BLESSED Year!!!
Great tips! I've never tried to voice feature, I did not know that it would convert it to text. I can see how that would be very handy.
Thanks for the tips, I knew about the last 4 but learned the first one. I'm glad you elaborated on each one, it was very helpful.
🤯Simply the best productivity tutor in the world... thank you for all your efforts...
you get thumbs up just for speaking, you're a legend👍🏽
Grab text by far is my favorite tip!
Thanks a lot Scott. I enjoyed the image to text and location reminder tips.
Thanks.. Great video. You explained things very well...
Love Keep.
I use it all the time.
I love that you love Keep! Thanks for watching, Pragati.
Really good tips. I'll have to use the Reminders more, especially location-based reminders.
These videos are GOLD! I'm wondering if there's a way to add multiple reminders? For example, adding a time AND location reminder to one task? Thanks again for these great resources!
I was just trying to do this very thing today. 16 February 2021. It appears to allow only one reminder at a time.
Hey, Scott. This tutorial is a "Keeper."
Love it! Thanks.
I loved the recording tip - great for transcript. Thanks
You're very welcome, Martin.
Location, Location, Location - wonderful. I have wondered if that can be done - thanks for the tip.
Hey Scott! Love your channel (especially this video)! I recently began using Notion but quickly realized that Google Keep is better for quickly capturing notes on the go (thinking of the "capture" step in the Getting Things Done process). But I'm thinking of using Notion to later process my quick notes from Google Keep into a more permanent/actionable state. Do you have a similar system, advice, or thoughts of whether that type of system would work? Thanks a bunch!
Wow! Thanks Scott...I'm making things harder for me and just not using these cool tips. The audio to text will be my new favorite.
You are very welcome, Nailah. All the best as you explore this feature!
Always good tips Scott. I need to use Keep more on my phone.
Thanks for watching, Jerry.
Great video! Thank you and God bless.
Thanks this video is very helpful.
Actually your tips are enough to get start using keep notes effectively
Thank you again
Most welcome!
Love Google Keep. Use it everyday. Great video. I find though that the location reminders are hit or miss. I have several set up for stores that I visit. And sometimes get a notification after I've already left. LOL
Thanks for the useful information it's so great to hear what can organise your life! My favourite was the location reminders for time and place! I will use it and check it out. Thanks for the tips!
Thank you Sir. Again I learned new things from you.
So glad to hear that, Dan. Thanks for watching!
oh man i am so hooked onto your videos.. not sure how this happened.. thank you for sharing such videos
Thanks for watching!
Awesome tips! Hope to see more!
As usual, another excellent video
Thankyou so much.....😊😊😊
Great tips! Thanks!
Thank you. Very helpful.
You're welcome!
Thanks for the great tips! Im using Keeps more often!
Great to hear!
Great review.. and Thanks google to provide mentioned functions which samsung previously presented ages now at the note series ..
Thanks for watching and sharing your feedback.
All of the tips are great
Wonder full tips! many tx!
You are so welcome!
Grab text. That alone will have me reaching for Google Keep far more often. I’d actually been looking for a stand alone app that would do this if I decide to ditch Evernote in favor of Notion. Now I’m good! Thanks!
This is a very helpful video. Educational
Thanks for watching, Robert.
A great tutorial. Thanks. I liked the dictation feature, which I did not know about.
Thanks for sharing, Doug.
From Bangladesh. Thank you very much
Very helpful, thanks :-)
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!
It's really good to know the productive tools. Thanks for sharing and enlightening. Can you also compare it with Microsft One Note and see if there is some interconnectivity between them.
Love your videos and I learn a whole lot
Thanks, Ghada.
My favourite - the ability to show the reminders in Google calender! 😍
Making a reminder only shows on my mobile but not on my desktop Keep?
Thank you so much sir 😊
Pure Gold here!
Great tips. I didn't know about the text grab. I would add that you can have many separate Google keep accounts by adding new or different Gmail accounts if you want. For example one just for all notes and task for work, and another for personal. I now just use tags for that but others may find that useful. Waiting for exporting emails from Gmail to keep.
You can use label function for group notes.
I use different labels for work and personal notes
I love being able to make a check list and then set a reminder for it specially with location
Also. To add an extra line in between other lines. Instead of tapping the + ( plus ) sign at the bottom & then dragging your new line all the way up to the position you want it at. You can tap on the end ( or middle if splitting ) of an existing line and then press enter & it creates a new line underneath the previous one.
What I'd like to know is the voice command in Assistant to get it to *_read the note aloud;_* I've read articles which say that you can both record *_and play back_* your audio notes, but none of them tell you the actual _command!_ I've tried "read my Keep notes" and "read my last Keep note" but all it does is reply with how many notes I've made and _show_ me the note on the screen.
Basically, I'm a freelance writer and I have my best ideas while walking (or while pushing a broom at my day job) - it would be great if I could not only _make_ notes by voice command but also _hear them back_ while I'm walking or working without having to look at my phone, so I can keep track of my article ideas while I'm using my hands for other things. At this point I don't really care whether it's a playback of the audio file or if Assistant reads the text of the note back to me using TTS, so long as I can pick up my thoughts where I left off after talking to someone or cleaning a particularly stubborn toilet bowl.
Another good video to me. Grabbing the text is mh favorite.
Yes, so handy for so many things.
Very informative
Update and Apologies. I found out how to use these functions. Microphone at top of keyboard converts voice to text. The + sign at left has a record option which records voice AND translates to text.
Long pressing on a photo gives another menu that DOES have grab text option.
Sorry I didn't investigate these options before I commented
👍 👍
No worries. I'm so glad that you found the solution!
I use Keep all the time to create lists. I frequently use the audio function to add items to the list. It is much quicker than typing. One trick is to say "new line" at the end of each item, and Keep will drop down to the next line and create a new item. When I am done, I will select the checkbox feature and all the items will be given checkboxes. If you choose checkboxes first, "new line" still works, but the mic is turned off so you have to re-select the mic to dictate the next item on the new line. I have tried other formatting words like "backspace" or "delete word," but they don't work. "Period" works to insert a period as shown in the video. It would be nice to know if there are other formatting words that work.
Thanks so much for sharing this, Greg.
Thanks a great video
Glad you enjoyed it
THANKS MAN
Great video and great tips, as usual. Thank you Scott. :-)
A quick question for you. Although it's possible to use the search function to find a note containing a specific term, I cannot figure out how to search for that term then in the selected note. There's no longer a search function once you've opened a note. Do you know a way around that? The only alternative I've found is to open Keep in a web browser and then, once the note is open, use the CTRL-F function to search for a term. But nothing in the mobile app itself. Thanks for your feedback.
Great question, but I don't have a great answer. CTRL-F would also be my recommendation when in a browser.
Wow thanks if I'm logged in on other phones do they all keep same files even tho they aren't in same order on each phone?
Dear Scott. Congratulations for your simple and clear video. I would like to ask you about one possible Keep's function but, at first, I will set a scenario: - imagine you are an Engineer and your job would be to inspect several issues in a building: windows, pavements, paintings, walls, etc. So, you might use google Keep to picture any issues and label each photo and record one brief explanations why the picture shows one issue. At this point I would ask you: could we label each taken picture in Google Keep? how could we accomplish it? Regards, Jorge
Great question. Yes, you could use labels for each note or combine multiple labels within a single note that contains multiple pictures. I hope that helps!
@@Simpletivity But, in the single note with multiples pictures, is it possible label, or tag, or insert a legend joinned to each picture? I mean, one picture of a "broken window", other picture of a "wornout wall" and other picture with a "unpavemented floor" all of these in one note, could it? Regards, jorge
@@JorgeSilva-em8pf No, at least not that I'm aware of. The label or tag would be applied to the entire note.
Thanks 😊
Welcome 😊
Sometimes Google hits it out of the park with an app. And sometimes they really drop the ball like letting Inbox go.
Pretty amazing stuff for such a fast app.... do all of these features work on both iOS versions and Android?
Yes, I don't believe there is any difference in features between the operating systems.
Thanks, very useful. Google Keep seems to load fast on my Android phone, compared to Evernote which a takes ages to open.
I personally like the aesthetic look and feel.
Only complaints: no list sorting and no markup text.
Nice vid..thanks. Is there any alternatives to the speech to text feature especially if you are dictating longer letters etc.. thanks again, Gary.
Go to 10:58 in this video: ua-cam.com/video/AG21_yb1JmI/v-deo.html
Thanks that was very useful... would love to know if keep can be used with Siri. All my reminders that I dictate too Siri end up in the iOS default reminders.
Unfortunately, Siri does not yet play nice with Keep.
I use the "Grab text from image" all the time. I never used the audio feature before but would like to. Do you know if I can use this while driving hands-free? For some reason all my ideas come to me while I am driving. Any Ideas?
I'm not sure if Google Assistant can trigger this directly yet. However, they are currently in the process of rolling out more features for voice commands for Keep.
Hi Google, take a note...
Is there a way you can OK Google and read a note that you have made if so how do you choose the specific note what do you say that would be another good video
Thank you in advance you for your review, I have iPhone 10 X, Thank you in advance reminder features and grab to text not appear in my keep google app
Grab image text is my favorite feature
If i have picture in Keep, how can i get its public url for sharing purpose?
YOU ARE SMAZING.. Thank you.
Hats 👒lift uo
Thank you! 😊
Hi Scott, me again! Do you have any idea why Keep tends to rotate images 90° to the left? When I first add an image to a note, it looks okay. But when I open Keep later on, the image is almost always turned sideways and there is no option to fix it. It's not a huge issue, as the notes I make with photos are only temporary, but it's still an annoyance. Thanks!
I should add I'm using Keep on an Android device (Samsung Galaxy Note 10) and a Windows 10 laptop.
Great question, Dawn. I have experienced this in the past from time to time. But I'm not sure why. Perhaps it has something to do with what position the photo was taken? i.e. landscape vs portrait?
@@Simpletivity Maybe. The photos I'm adding are square 1:1 and taken in portrait, so not sure!
i know all these.
next video about keep should be what things to save in google keep (what notes to write and what information to put in the app as a note)
Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi Scott, I like the possibility to share a UA-cam video and capture it directly into a Google Keep note (eventually with a label). For instance: all interesting YT videos about golf lessons, I keep them in Keep with the label Golf and a green background. Very handy when I search in my notes for the label 'golf' or the green background, also on my mobile device.
That's awesome, Christian. Thanks for sharing this tip.
Thanks. Very much appreciate. You forgot to add the apps great collaboration tool.
That's right. It's an excellent tool for colloborating with others.
Can I change the sequence of the images in the notes and how to write text in the image for noting in particulat
For the location alert to work, does the checklist have to be open at the time?
No.
Hey hey hey!! I been dying to know how can I leave a collaboration on Google keeps, can I remove my email from the collaborated note without deleting it? Please let me know
Can I download Keep Note on a new mobile phone and still see my saved notes from my current mobile phone?
Can I put a picture in the middle of a note?
Ex:
The dinner
*Image of the plate*
It was good.
I REALLY want to insert pictures in the way of the note it's self fr. Plz tell me how?
The reminder tip is good for me cause I have school an I can get my work I am supposed to do it thanks and see you later
*GOT A QUESTION*: How do i add multiple locations in a single Keep reminder. For instance there are two stores nearby me that i usually shop. How can i add both locations in my grocery list?
Sorry, but Keep currently only allows one location per note.
What tool do use to record your smartphone screen?
I'm using AZ Screen Recorder. Very easy to use and I'm pleased with the results. Thanks for the question, Ali.
@@Simpletivity Thank you very much for sharing the info.
@@Simpletivity I can't find AZ screen recorder. Could it be EZ screen recorder?
@@stanw205 Nope, AZ is the name (Android). You may also want to check out XRecorder.
I am new to Google Keep. I uploaded a word doc to fill out with another collaborator and when I use different devices to input info it does not save. It only creates another blank doc and we cannot see each other 's notes.
Yes, we can add images, but one at a time only. Truly we need the ability adding more than one image at a time.
They had an update this 2020 :))
May Almighty God bless you
Great work! Thank you! Ok curious..I use almost all Apple products for hardware but g suite for work. I’ve been a real estate broker for almost 17 years. What’s the best...google keep, Apple notes, or Evernote? I jump around! 😂
Thank you!
Hi, can I import notes from a Celular to Google Keep?
I use Google Keep on my phone and Chromebook. As long as you log into your Google account the notes are available on all devices. I've tried going back and forth between devices and it syncs as fast as your internet speed can handle
The more I use Keep the more I like it
How can I hide the picture(s) on top of the notes? Sometimes they are so big that the note takes a full page on my iPad.
I don't want to see the picture at first; I only want to see the picture when I open the note.
Good point. I'd like that option too
Any body know how long it can record continuously for audio to text?
Hi, can you add a image below text in a Google note ? What I meant is that in the note there are texts and you add the image below the text
It may be just me, but I think you sound a lil'bit like Morty's dad!
Holy shit....

5:33 What I noticed here is that the voice recording is very quiet and muffled. This is obviously not due to the device (Google Pixel) or the microphone, because voice recordings in the Voice Recorder app or in WhatsApp are loud and clear
