this really helps me! who knew i can just get my electronic signature from onenote only! all that struggle to edit previously using online website etc geez.. im thankful i got a tab bc handwritten signature is much easier for me. i should really explore more about onenote.. who knows it could help me for my studies and exams. thank you sm Kevin!
Such an amazing and informative youtube video, I can't thank you enough. It's still a struggle for me but has gotten me a lot closer to sign a document for a job application that I need to do.. Thank you so much!!!
Hi Kevin, very nice video indeed. Well done! Here's another trick you may add to your toolbox when scanning hand written signatures. We used it years back on an multi-function-device in the office with a rather low scanning resolution. Instead of writing on the back of a business card, we used a regular printer page and a rather thick pen. This way you basically scan in more pixels for enhanced optical resolution. And when shrinking the scanned image to the regular signature size, you'll get a lot more pixels per inch, while the thick pen just appears as a thin line. Thus, much better resolution on the monitor or the printer. Note: The effect is obviously less when 'scanning' on the cell phone, as the photo taken is of a fixed size/resolution. However, you still benefit from taken the scan/photo at a 'convenient' (optical) distance and don't rely on the 'macro' features of your cell phone camera when getting to close to the object.
Kevin Stratvert is a UA-cam God. Amazing video A few days ago I was searching how to sign a document for my school assignment. Thanks UA-cam god (Kevin)
That's ok. I prefer to edit the signature in a photo editor, create transparency and remove the background then save as PNG. This way the signature looks realistic without that white box around it. Takes a little more time but allows you more flexibility to sign even on different color paper, over text or images without affecting the original document.
Kevin, at the risk of sounding corny, I have learned more from your videos since "discovering" you here in UA-cam, than I did in high school when computers were still devices the aliens left behind. This imcludes the current "intro to computer applications" course I am taking now since returning to college after 35-years. Keep up the amazing tutorials my friend!! Thank you.
Great video, it really helped clarify how to set up signature could you also make one on digital ID please as could not find one as good as your videos online
I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned it before but what makes Kevin's tutorials even better is the fact that there's no distracting or irritating background music! Thanks Kevin!
Even professional movies have irritating droning music, they have no idea how frustrating it is. Most times I just switch off. If I use music it is only seconds , dancing excluded.
Do not know about the first method-as not coordinated enough to sign on phone-but the second method has a background which must be removed when using the signature on a document of a different color, or if the signature must overlie text or lines. As you show, is better to take a pix of the written sig vs scanning. Got here from your Very Helpful discussion on OO-Draw (which I did NOT know would do PDFs). Thanks
quick tip in paint: change the size of the canvas and then you don't have to resize when your inserting, click select show canvas, then lock aspect ratio and resize image with canvas, type in width 135px then save as. I save the original in full size and then save the small scaled version so I have both
Thanks. I am not good at signing on my phone but have done a version of taking a picture of my signature, editing it and then using it to sign documents, primarily .pdfs for work. A problem I had run into was when the background covered up part of a signature line or other words. There was a tutorial for using the free, open source Gimp program to delete all of the background, including within loops on things like a lower case L or a g and so on. It works great. I'm not sure if the technique you so ably described above will do that, or perhaps if your video on how to remove a photo background would, but I highly recommend it. Perhaps it is not needed in the Office programs, but it was for a little .pdf editing tool I use. Btw, even removing the background didn't help in some cases for me. It made the parts without a background white, and that covered up anything it was over, such as a line. I forgot the way that it is done in Gimp, but saving it as a transparency in a .png file is the only way to make it work flawlessly everywhere. Thanks again for your videos They are well done... good editing, nice lighting and sound.
@@KevinStratvert Hey Kevin, i am currently trying to change the color of my signaure in one note, on my desktop, however, when i click the black pen, it just gives me a pointer to start drawing over the signature i brought over from my iphone, but it does change the color. there is no drop down either, and yes i have the signature selected. Any help here? i am using the newest onenote update..!
There is so much fluff on UA-cam help videos its an absolute pleasure to find someone who not only knows the answers to many vexing questions - but you also explain it wonderfully. Thank you.
Hey, I didnt know you could handwrite in onenote, thanks. Just an FTI, on android, if you press the pen tool then press and hold the pen option in the toolbar, aftera couple of seconds it brings up a colour palette to choose from. Im ssuming its the same on ios
This is great. I wish you would have included instructions to make the background transparent do that when you sign forms that have lines to place your signage. If there is a background it may not match the background of the document.
I don't have Paint (I'm on a Mac) but I found a work-around by copying it into the Desktop version of PowerPoint and right clicking and saving it as a picture.
Everybody cannot have everything. In these days, many things are being done paperless. Some people need not a printer, some need not a scanner, some need not a facsimile, even some need not a computer. We can do the best with what we have.
ok. I went to support and My signature is all set for Warrior Plus. They said my printed name is their only form at this time. I saved all your instructions and have my signature saved on Desktop to use over & over again! Thank you for your great tutorial....
Hi Kevin kindly make a series specifically focus on teaching tools,hacks. Challenges generally faced by teachers during live classes. Like many use white board during online class. So what's the alternative of it that can fill in. Please
Last time I watched this I was able to get my signature available to sign pdfs on my desktop. I went to help a coworker and now this video doesn’t show how to add a signature to a pdf on desktop. Can you please make one of those? Or repost the other one? Thanks 😊
Thanks Kevin for your great videos, which taught me a lot useful tips. Could you share your best practices in translation? e.g. Skype translation, Google voice translation and more, thanks.
Yeah these wouldn't qualify as legal binding documents. I can see doing this so when creating your signature for a digital signing solution like Docusign, Adobe Sign, Zoho Sign. When creating your signature you just upload the image.
I would appreciate you covering how to make the background translucent for when I need to put my signature on to a document with a color other than white.
Hello, is a signature in this manner acceptable electronically? For example, is it acceptable for a digital marketing company to conclude deals or for any work on the Internet?
Hi Kavin, I am so thankful to all your useful videos which taught me a lot. Can you please suggest to me a reliable software that I can buy which would translate the audio on my saved videos by adding subtitles . Many thanks in advance.
Kevin, I know you did note the difference between digital and electronic signatures. It’s important to note that this electronic signature is nothing but an image, which means the recipient can easily extract it and use it too. And no one can tell the difference between their copy and your original.
Dear Kevin: I am would love to see a few date/time formulas, i.e. from date1 to date2 and duration; or from time1 to time2 and duration. How to use variant forms of dates and times in Excel, like: yyyy symbol mm symbol dd and / or leading zeros in 24 hour time and some of the other styles. Keep it up, you are doing great. >>Please and thank you.

Than you so much Kevin !
Thanks again another very interesting and informative video. I’ll surely use some of these tricks and ideas.
Thanks so much i am from Ethiopia
Simply the best.
Thanks so much, your content is needed. Great job.
Very cool, Kevin! Thanks!
Amazing explanation Kevin. Thanks a lot! It’s very useful❤️
Very good tutorial. Thanks for sharing!
Did it work for you
@@yvetteortiz7636 Yes
Please make a video on Digital signature.
I've added to my list. Stay tuned!
Thanks--hope the cookie company is thriving!
Amazing Kevin, nice tutorial, thanks
Hello i followed one of your class on Key Function and it was very interesting, do you have a class on quick book.? Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you.
Sorry Kevin. I lost at 4:41 signature writing part. Where and how do you write the signature? On the phone screen with an ordinary pen, finger?
I would like to see a tutorial on Remote Desktop setup and using.
I'll add to my list. Stay tuned!
remote desktop = SECURITY PROBLEMS unless you do it over VPN or only inside your private network. Yikes..
Is that your actual signature cause that might be a security threat showing it to public? But I’m pretty sure you’ve already thought of this.
Great tutorial(s). Can you do one on how to get/do a digital signature and send and encrypted email?
Thanks man, 1.3M views and 21k likes! people are mean !
Absolutely amazing!
You should make the background transparent because not all documents are on white paper. Other than that, great video!
Hey i really enjoyed your video you did on OBS, the screen record software👍🏾👍🏾 Were u using OBS when you made the video ?
Yeah, I use OBS for all my screen recording. I have another OBS focused video coming out on Thursday.
Wonderful. Thank you very much for this great demonstration.
Hi kevin, to.....day i looked at your tutorial.
Thanks for your very helpful video. God bless you.
You can drag your pdf file into Microsoft Edge browser to add signature.
I've been using the same signature.bmp file for 20 years, created with Paint+Mouse+Steadyhand. My how times have changed.....
😁 you're not alone
Excellent! So helpful thanks so much
I don't have Paint (I'm on a Mac) but I found a work-around by copying it into the Desktop version of PowerPoint and right clicking and saving it as a picture.
Well explained and very helpful. Thanks a lot
Kevin: Makes $200,000 a year
also Kevin: "I don't even have a printer"
it's priority. getting a printer is not important to him
$200K / Y is not enought on current ink prices.
Everybody cannot have everything. In these days, many things are being done paperless. Some people need not a printer, some need not a scanner, some need not a facsimile, even some need not a computer. We can do the best with what we have.
