I would really like to see a review of the NOTE TAKING features of the Remarkable 2. Most reviewers I've seen so far keep focusing on its drawing capabilities. This is a note taking device, after all. How easy is it to take notes at high speed? How accurate is the OCR? How easily can the notes be synced across devices? Can the notes be exported to other note taking apps like Notion or Roam? Can you collaborate on the notes? How long do the marker nibs last?
Thank you! I learned a few tips and I will continue to follow your videos. I just received my Remarkable 2 yesterday and had been underwhelmed until I saw this video. Thank you for reviving my excitement!
@@DavidW3001 I think I need to watch the video again! The Remarkable 2 has become part of my daily life but the gaps in capabilities make it a challenge to use at times. A positive is that I’m helping the environment by reducing my paper usage! As far as execution, I love the way it writes. They were spot on with that user experience.
@@RebeccaRobinson1 thank you for replying! I have been leaning towards an Ipad tablet as an alternative, but I do think I would miss the "feel" of writing for my note taking
@@DavidW3001 I’ve had both and I prefer the Remarkable 2 for note taking. It’s also lighter than an iPad. Make no mistake, I’m an Apple fan, but for writing, Remarkable wins hands down.
I think this thing has so much potential for fancy offices for intake paperwork. I'm a massage therapist, and my clients fill out paperwork. I could use this instead of paper, which adds to the upscale environment, and enables the ability to keep everything digital. It's lacking certain features that you'd need, but i think there's a massive market they're not considering
Super helpful video. Been thinking about getting one recently and doing a lot of research. Returned my iPad because I didn’t like the feel. Plus I want a more minimalist, distraction free way to take notes while reducing paper waste.
Because they don't show all the aspects of the product they are reviewing...... Just see their and MY DEEP GUIDE remarkable 2 reviews! You will understand that the remarkable two is a complete peice of shit except its writing capabilities!
I got mine a couple days ago and I am absolutely in love with it. It is a bit pricey but it IS worth the cost. I don’t recommend buying the marker plus, because it performs the same job as the regular one so it’s not a complete necessity. But the tablet, oh my lord I am in love. It’s worth it people
This would be great for creating comics or manga! Sketch out your panels and draw your inks on the go, then export to your home computer and import to Photoshop or your editor of choice to add colors, if desired.
@@Scotsdave I love it for the purpose of having it as a "creative station" where I can work on all my long term projects. For day to day life and simple writing scenarios it can be too much i.e. the conversion to text and email is not as seamless as it was made out to be
Great review and very good product. The only lack for me is not having colors. Whenever remarkable 3 will be released it should have coloured eink because highlighting, undelying, taking notes... are necessarily with colours, to have a complete user experience and to become a highly used tech gadget
It actually has colours. you cannot visualise them on Remarkable, but when you export your notes, you have a (fairly limited for the moment) set of colours showing up.
Peter. Thank you so much. Great review. I wanted a little more basic functionality tutorial on how to take notes on a pdf document, like a script or a book, and export the notes or at least a version of the pdf that I've taken notes on. Thanks!
Hi! Just got mine but the marker isn’t working. Unfortunately the support is not reachable to help with the situation. So far it’s the worse support experience I’ve had
Great demonstration...however im not a fan of this device, wouldnt recommend for those who want to place notes on drawings, edit drawings and save in a cropped image. It would be helpful if we could rename layers also so as to easily identify them for tuning off and on etc.
Shaffaf Ahmed hahaha I’ll refrain, but there is a woman who reviewed herself taking notes on the RM1. Her handwriting is very small so you should go check her out. I forgot what the video was called but it was smth along the lines of “note taking with the Remarkable”
Shaffaf Ahmed just to give you a reference to how small you can write, though. I just wrote a sentence with super super small words (height of the letters are around 1/8 cm) and it is perfectly readable to me. Also, handwriting conversion on the device was able to convert it perfectly.
@@hymanye6243 thanks to you I found the video. But the sad thing is now I can't be sire whether all these other note taking tablets can do it at the same level.
So this does connect to internet? Are you able to send documents to the device? Documents that you would need to review and sign, instead of printing them out and uploading ect. to send back.
About the erase function: at ua-cam.com/video/mvIJ9bQUmPo/v-deo.html you suggest that the white marker is same to erase. Within a single layer you can indeed use it this way. Yet eraser and white ink are quite different: white lines can be selected and moved around using the selection tool. And with multiple layers the erase will 'punch a hole' and be transparent to underlying layes, while white is opaque and will obscure any underlying imagery. I love the device, owning the original, waiting for the Remarkable 2 now :-)
A huge flaw in these demos and in the Remarkable netsite itself is the basic, up-front statement. Can the Remarkable work for left handed users or NOT? Many of us are left handed, and actually many skilled people are left handed. This left handedness can cause huge issues. I write cursive neat and clean but at a very high rate and I would finally like to see some folks analyze this device in the left handed mode. Thank you for posting but as you can see, I am frustrated. I will never buy this device until this basic question is clearly answered.
These reviews are nice and all, but it would be great to see someone actually write a short text over a few lines since the device is in its current state nothing more than a note taking tablet.
Trying to write a book being as poor as I am, dear Santa!!! I hate Microsoft, gotta pay for the continued right to write? Is that right? Can't wait to use this!
Hei there, I'm thinking about buying the reMarkable 2. I have one question. Can I add a Page in between the PDF file or can I only add a Page to the end of the Pdf file. can I also add a page to a PDF document, that I've dowloaded from the internet?
Questions. Can it be used as a e-reader? Like Kindle? Does it allow third party e-reader apps? Like muPDF? And last, can it record audio if I want to whiteboard and record a lecture?
shoonnya : well, there are lots of free ebooks, but nothing current (not officially, anyway) This is mainly a notebook / sketchbook. The ebook / pdf reader is just a bonus feature at this point.
My Remarkable 2 has few of the menu icons that are displayed in this tutorial. I think I got a dud. The pop out menus are slightly different as well. I cannot move an item into a file folder - very frustrating and the thing is brand new.
I love this. It was very helpful on different things the remarkable 2 can functions. I am glad I have one, I LOVE IT. I do have one small problem- turning pages seems to be hard to do. I am not sure I am doing it right, but I really have to swipe it about five times to get it to turn, so most of the time I just go to the 'waffle' to pick the page I want. ANy solutions for this?
First, can I use the reMarkable as an e-reader? I use Scribd personally; how do I get content from there on the reMarkable? Thanks. Secondly, I get that you have to email it, and even that you have to choose a file type, but no option for actual text is disappointing. Basically, if I want editable text I ten have to select the pdf text, copy and paste it into a word, rtf, or such format, or directly into the email in order to access the editable text. That's time consuming. You know we only get so many clicks and taps with our fingers and before long you gotta trade them in for new ones, or do with out, so a more intuitive approach is gonna be well worth it. Meanwhile maybe we should start a "save our fingers!" campaign. No?
Does your marker plus rattle? Mine does while writing, I guess the eraser sensor is loose. BTW if people are interested in the device, mine came bent, so much so that the aluminum bezel isn't flush with the screen. Even though I sent pictures, customer support is giving me a hard time to get it exchanged, so far they refused. I'm probably gonna send it back with the 30 days return policy and buy Onyx.
Hi Peter. One question about Remarkeble 2. Is it possible to make a drawing on the tablet and send the drawing session on the internet at the same time on this tablet?
I wanted to ask you a question: the books bought in the apple store, through the application "books" in epub format I think, can I pass them without problems to Remarkable 2?
Do you have a video, or could you make a video, of annotating PDF files? I'd really like to send PDFs to a device like this and use the pen to take notes on the PDF.
Thanks for the video, I am a bit late to the viewing party. I do have a question. After you have converted the handwriting to text and sent it to an email, is it then possible to copy and paste it into an MS Word document? Thank you.
Changed my mind shortly after purchase and got only part of the refund back: they roll down their bank fees to the customer!!! Absolute disgrace, be careful people, boycott such business practices and avoid them at all costs.
I need basics. You told me how to send an email but even when I do what I think you said it does not send. Nothing like actually walking through the steps for someone like me.
Can you organize the note taken in different folders? Im a student and I want to take note of different subjects so does the remarkable2 have a way to organize pages to something like a folder?
In this video, when you “erased” text, you can still faintly see the text you’ve erased. Is that representative of the erase function or did you just not do it enough?
Neither. The image is completely gone, as far as the device is concerned. A ghost image is sometimes left on the screen for a short while, but it will disappear if the screen refreshes.
I have one ! The unit is great !drawing is great! But and a very big annoying but !!! It has a very annoying line across the page ! When I try to get a replacement ..... it is almost impossible to find out how to return or complain on their website. Then when I do I get a reply 3 days later saying I have complained incorrectly and need to register a different way with photographs .... ten days later still no reply !!! Not impressed !!!

I recommend My Deep Guide. He made a thorough review, a bit long but worth it
Agreed. I'm looking to see how to take notes and all the videos are of people making stupid little doodles.
One of the only reviewers who actually showed themselves using it. Thank you, this simple thing was too hard for the many narcissistic reviewers.
Exactly
OUTSTANDING presentation. Simple, easy to understand and no obnoxious music. Should do this type of presentation for a zillion other products.
