Credit: Scharon Harding The Reusable Sticky Notes are amongst the most technologically innovative scraps of paper you can discover.
In my experience, the technology, including the optical character acknowledgment, worked reliably.For example, scanning a sticky note was seamless.
The camera in the iOS app quickly identified any sticky notes in the shot and snapped an image (or images) without me having to do much aligning or pushing more buttons.Afterward, it was easy to share the image.
I could send it to frequently used e-mails I saved in the app or send it to other apps, like AirDrop, Google Drive, ToDoist, or a search engine.
The app can read the sticky note images as text, however it does not convert the images to text.
While Google might translate an image of a sticky note as text through Google Lens, for example, ToDoist only saw a JPEG.The app utilizes optical character acknowledgment to convert handwriting into machine-readable text.
This enables you to use the app to browse uploaded sticky notes for specific words or expressions.
I at first feared that the app wouldnt be able to read my cursive, however even when I doodled quickly and deviated from writing in a straight line, the app understood my writing.
Do not anticipate it to pick up chicken scratch, however.
My handwriting didnt require to be ideal for the app to understand it, but the app could not understand my sloppiest notesthe type that just I could check out, or ones that prevail when someone is quickly writing something on a sticky note.Further, I didnt constantly observe which notes I wrote neatly enough for the app to read.
That made it confusing when I searched for terms that I knew I wrote on scanned notes but that were scrawled, per the app, illegibly.

Sure, you could put sticky notes with order of business items on the left side of your computer system monitor and location notes with appointments to remember on the ideal side of your display.
The app provides remarkable company by letting you add tags to each scanned note.
Its easy to look at all notes with the same tag on one page.
However since each scanned note revealed on a tag page is revealed as a thumbnail, you cant read whatever written on all notes with the exact same tag at the same time.
Thats a con for individuals who prefer seeing all appropriate notes and their contents at once.
