7.10 Notes
Notes help you quickly capture thoughts, questions, reminders, to-do lists, and
meeting notes. You can create handwritten and typed notes, record voice notes,
convert handwritten notes to text for easy readability and send notes to others.
Enter information in Notes
There are several ways to enter information in a note. You can enter text using
the onscreen keyboard or handwriting recognition software. You can also use
the stylus to write or draw on the screen. On devices that support recording, you
can create a standalone recording or embed a recording in a note.
