Multi-Tasking: I found if I needed to do heavy computer work and take notes at the same time, I would still need my laptop computer.This can be mitigated by being more aware and flipping to the next page. Or, I would accidentally hit the iPad Home button. Bottom Page Writing: sometimes, I would write towards the bottom of a page and it would not recognize the pencil.The charging cable needs to use the higher voltage one to charge with any speed, otherwise it may take 10x as long to recharge. iPad Battery: I would forget to recharge my iPad.Luckily, you can quickly charge it by placing it in the iPad connector for about 30 seconds. Pencil Battery: I often would forget to recharge my pencil battery.
Here is what I found as some of the drawbacks: No need to sift through all my notebooks to find a page.

This is great with the iPad Pro 12.9’s big screen.
#NOTABILITY SPLIT SCREEN SAME NOTE PDF#
I found this handy when marking up a PDF for revision or using a PDF form as a template for taking notes. Import PDFs: you can import a PDF as a note.The notes are already digital and you can set it to be backed up to your desired file sharing location. Digital First: there is no need to scan paper notes into your computer.You just tap on the word, and the voice record jumps back to that spot on the recording! This is helpful if you have a question about why you wrote a certain word. Voice Recording: when taking notes, you can also enable voice recording.Hand Write Notes: with the Apple Pencil and the Notability app, you can hand write your notes to your heart’s delight! The pencil is responsive just like a pen or pencil.I took it on several of my client appointments that included meetings and interviews. I decided to use the Notability app because I could choose where to back up my notes, I could voice record, it had access to many of the most popular file sharing services: like DropBox, Box, Google Drive and OneDrive. I decided to invest in an iPad Pro 12.9 inch with an Apple smart keyboard and Apple Pencil.
My second challenge was my preference for note taking with a writing instrument, where I could circle, box or highlight ideas. This is a drawback especially if you are in a sales situation. It was difficult for me to type and listen at a quick enough pace. I had thought about typing my notes as I attended meetings, but I had two challenges. This often became a backlog as other tasks took priority. This was a step forward, but now I would need to set aside time to separate the pages, feed the notes into my scanner, make sure the image was clear and save the file into the appropriate file folder. I initially began separating the pages out and scanning my notes into my computer, using my desktop scanner. The question then became: what do I do with my older notepad? It still contained valuable information that I needed to reference, albeit not as often. But, I was always running out of pages and needed to buy a new notepad. They served me well in the short term, as I had one place to enter my notes. Like many people I was frustrated with keeping several volumes of notebooks that contained my notes from meetings, to do lists and other random thoughts. Over the past year I have been piloting paperless note taking using my iPad Pro and the Notability app.
