7notes with mazec

When I take notes in meetings & lectures, I need to input text and draw diagrams. This app allows us to input text - great! But, I see no way to quickly switch to a Freehand mode that allows us to make freehand drawings within the same note. I will give 5 stars when we can quickly switch from text conversion mode to a freehand mode within the same note. I can't wait to try this app with a stylus. Works well using a finger, though. Nexus 7.

As has been said by other reviewers, this provides a new input method that replaces the normal keyboard for all text input, not just 7note. It isn't quick and easy to swap back to keyboard mode once you're in handwriting mode. If that were made easier, or if 7note automatically swapped modes for you, I'd have no hesitation in giving 5 stars. But it's still an excellent little app and well worth the money.

i stumbled across this app. Lots of good things were being said about it so I thought I'd check it out. I'm glad I did because this is fantastic! Absolutely worth five stars and the small amount of money for the purchase. And yes, I am "writing" this review with my cheap, new stylus :-)

So far the software seems fine. It can understand what I'm writing. The only problem that I have is that it wants to use its handwriting keyboard in all my other apps (messaging, email, etc). I don't really want to use handwriting in the other apps. It's easy enough to switch to their handwriting recognition. However you have to head back to the settings to disable it to get the regular keyboard back. If the developer could make it less cumbersome to switch back to the regular keyboard then this would be a 5 star app.

Best handwriting recognition I've seen so far. I wasn't expecting much from such a cheap app, but after pairing it with a metal mesh / weave stylus I am able to write at speeds close to paper and pen. The quality of the output can only improve with experience and with additions to the user dictionary. Being able to use this within most apps is brilliant too. I paid less than £1 for this application. WritePad costs almost £10 and is rubbish by comparison.

I've tried this on & off for years, but it's too idiosyncratic for me to get used to. There are too many buttons with overloaded, unrelated functions, and the instructions use ambiguous terms. Unless you know what you're looking for, you won't find it. Graffiti was the best until Android 5; now it's broken and ignored. Google Handwriting's not ready. Maybe Stylus Beta...

Claimed to have fixed bugs on Xoom, they did not. App unusable as it continually loads set up screen over and over and over. Handwriting recognition is great, too bad the app is worthless on Motorola devices

With my phone, 7notes, and a stylus (personal preference) I'm always ready to write. No more worries about losing (or transcribing) napkins, receipts, and other crumpled pieces of paper. My notes are saved in 7 notes. ♡ When my scribbles are too sloppy for fast OCR I just export to PDF, open in Gimp, and add a text layer. Easy!

I have used this app on an iphone and I was pleased it is available for an Android. It just works. But where oh where is the menu button in the edit screen? I have dropped a star because the help file doesn't tell me how to open the menu options. Not that I can see anyhow. I have it installed on a Samsung S5. OK I have it now. You need to hold down the menu button on the phone. I am an inexperienced Android user. The instructions are not clear for this.

I Was nervous about buying another app that I wouldn't use or like. This app can even handle my handwriting I wish it had a short cut for words I use often. would be better. This app is great for people like me who prefer pen and paper to write and take notes.

I'm certain I have never been so impressed with an app before! It is remarkable that this app is capable of accurately interpreting my handwriting even though I myself have difficulty doing so. It's the best of both worlds: I can enjoy the ease and familiarity of writing without having to interpret-or recall-what the HELL I wrote.

This has always been my go-to app for note taking on the iOS (Apple) platform, so when I switched to an Android tablet I was pleased to find 7 notes here as well. It has the best handwriting recognition of the apps I have tried & I wouldn't use anything else.

please add Gujarati language for recognition

The keyboard is nothing to get excited about, but the way you can enter text through the convert mode is the best!

As a writer, I wanted the ability to use my tablet like a notepad. This app transcribes my manuscript to text perfectly! Thank you, Metamoji, for creating such a flawless app! I just wish it wasn't so difficult to find this app in the Play store. More people should know about this amazing app. :-)

I used a Windows Phone years ago that had a great handwriting recognition application. I don't understand why it is so difficult after all this time to get something better. Masec needs to be a lot better at recognising script.

I use 7Notes on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 frequently. I love having 7Notes for note taking. I use this app over the stock program that comes with my Note, its so much better.

much better than s-note. well worth the money

what the hell happened the logo is gone so i cant change input back to screen from keyboard

This app does a good job recognizing my script and I can`t complain. It does have some quirks like not recognizing some contractions and words, but entering them into the user dictionary solves it for the most part. I wish it had an enter key at the end of the writing space but other than that I think I've found my new way of inputting text. ''Typing" notes into Evernote or another similar note app is going to change for the better.

On the Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 I'm having problems with the space button as well. It deletes the entire entry. Using the previous suggestion by the developer doesn't seem to help. Great app, but I await another update. Overnight the developer fixed. Great app ! Great service.

This is the best handwriting recognition app I've used so far. It has learned my horrible cursive and predicts what word (or words) I'm likely to write. The only weakness I've found is the keyboard function. Be sure to get the right version for your language.

This app is what I'm looking for. Conversion of handwriting to text is excellent! Thanks for mazec.

Got this a couple of months back and had been my default IMO ever since! Thumbs up! Totally recommended! If only you could include gesture shortcuts & better recognition for mixed input, this would be the best!

Never thought I would use a stylus and my Nexus 7 instead of a notebook and pen but I do now because of this app. I can write almost as fast as with a pen on paper and recognition is superb. This app makes my Nexus a true business tool.

Please fix for Toshiba excite. Every time I space my sentence is deleted!!!!!!! It has worked fine until this afternoon. Please I love this app.

I have looked a long time for a good handwriting recognition solution for Android. The keyboard application that comes with this notepad app does a better job of deciphering my chicken scratch (both block letter and cursive) than anything I've seen.

Works great except once you switch into this input mode there is no way to switch back out without going into my settings (on Nexus 7). I need to be able to quickly switch between this and the stock keyboard as the keyboard this comes with is pretty worthless. 2 stars because it does work, but I really can't use it until this is added. Android keyboard lets you long press the spacebar to bring up input methods - please add something like this.

I am really impressed by this software. I use this on my Nexus 7. It's not as good as my Galaxy Note 2 but its pretty close. A good stylus is needed for accuracy. You can also use your finger to with success. $10 well spent!

I use both Graffiti and now 7notes because of its high ratings. I really, really wish I could turn off the predictive text. I find it only gets in the way. I would rather train myself to write properly the first time, and not be looking at suggestions. Other than that, 7notes is the closest I've seen to pocket pc Calligrapher which I loved on my old iPAQ. For now, I actually prefer Graffiti, a stroke-based input.

This is the first ever review I've written for an app but 7 Note is just so good that I felt compelled to do so. Especially on my Toshiba tablet but also on Galaxy Note works extraordinarily well. I'm a writer and using a stylus, I can handwrite at almost normal speed and have my scribble convert to text. What's really good is that you can use 7Note as your preferred input in any application. The only improvement I can suggest is to the guide - Just playing with the app, I've discovered techniques which don't get a mention in it. Thanks from a two finger typist!

The handwriting recognition is really fantastic, but you need to play around with settings to get it just right. My only complaint is that once you get to the end of the writable area it doesn't automatically start a new one. This is a steal for galaxy note owners, especially at this price.

Replaces android keyboard with its own design when using the hot key. This is unfortunate as once you select recognition for input, the device is forced to use the Mazec keyboard as the default. Space bar is replaced by a tiny off center button (stupid), shift for capitals is a SHIFT LOCK by default (assinine), can not double tap for period. Found a way to make keyboard change from drop down notifications bar which is good.

I'm very impressed that this application can turn my scrawl into legible text. I've got fat fingers, so I found a stylus made writing easier. I've used the app for writing email and notes so far on my Toshiba AT100 ... with a little practice it should be faster than pecking at the touch screen keyboard.

This has always been my go-to app for note taking on the iOS (Apple) platform, so when I switched to an Android tablet I was pleased to find 7 notes here as well. It has the best handwriting recognition of the apps I have tried & I wouldn't use anything else.

While the 7notes app itself is just a good simple notebook, the mazec2 handwriting recognition is best-of-breed. It's easily my favourite way to enter text on a phone screen. If you tried mazec before and found it had faults, try it again. Mistakes in the last version have been rectified, and it seems now to combine the best features of all the earlier incarnations. The interface has been greatly improved too. It's hard to imagine how it could get better than this.

Took off one star for not having a shift key (it has a caps-lock instead), and one for no spacebar. Also took off one star for not integrating with Evernote, Dropbox, Box, Drive, etc. Having an "Export" function is NOT integration. . Update: Would love to have this for ocr, but the awful keyboard makes it not worth the effort. Should fix keyboard, or make it easy to switch to standard Android keyboard.

I used to use ''graffiti'' on my palm PDA. This seems to have a more natural recognition. Does not require special strokes like graffiti. Will recognize both cursive and print 90% for me. One con. I have to switch to keyboard to input numbers, which I frequently do during note taking. A ''one tap'' option for switching to number recognition or an area dedicated to numbers only would give this app 5 stars from me.

NEW update beautifully designed really appreciable
