24. Photo of your handwriting (use longhand/cursive!)
Not really a photo but a screen capture of writing on the iPad. I don't think I've used cursive since elementary school. For me, printing was easier to write, faster and easier to read so I included samples of both. This was done using the standard Note app and a stylus.
For writing on the iPad, I've been using a stylus made by Adonit called the JotPro. It was marketed as a "precision stylus" and though it's better than writing with your finger, the iPad just doesn't have very good resolution for writing or drawing. I hear that the new iPad Pro does but I think that it's way too big and heavy to haul around. But since I'm not an artist, this does just fine for the little bit of writing and annotation that I do. There is a newer version of the stylus but I'm not really sure of the differences.

Absolutely brilliant. Me? I couldn't think past pen and paper if asked for a sample of my handwriting. You turn it into a carefully thought out review of the latest technology. My hat's off to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I really was at a loss on what to do with this one. The stylus has gotten the most use to mark up drawings.
DeleteI use a stylus to annotate PDFs in GoodReader a really indispensable app. I have signed most of the offer documents for our new home that way.
ReplyDeleteI see you demonstrated your handwriting using the new iOS Notes app. Is that not brilliant?? Have you tried the ruler tool? Oh the creative tricks you can do with that.
Yes, I have played around some. I also use Paper for drawing on the iPad and have been playing with the pressure sensitivity on the new iPhone. Actually drawing works pretty well with the addition of pressure sensitivity. If only I had some talent...
