Although I prefer other keyboards on my Note 10.1, I'm sorta "stuck" with the preinstalled Samsung keyboard because of it's very decent handwriting-to-text capabilities.
Does anyone know of equally good apps which allow H-to-T, even better if it's possible to recognize handwriting from saved notes?
Any other good keyboards which have H-to-T? I've tried Swype, but it's not as good as Samsung's...
Thanks for your input!
I've been wondering this myself but I learned to love the sammy H-to-T even on AOSP roms on my Original Note I717, and having the Note 10.1 just makes this keyboard better. Now that feature you mentioned about recognizing text from notes, now that would be sexy...if you know what I mean.
Try 7notes available on Google play, you can use the inbuilt app to write notes in your handwriting and convert later or can do on the fly conversions with any app that allows keyboard entry. The recognition is the best I have seen on any app to date.
Another app you can try is notes mobile, currently only available from the Samsung app market which also allows you to take notes and convert later.

I'll take a look at 7notes, thanks! But I can't find "notes mobile" on the Samsung Apps page. Who's the maker, or if you can just send the link?
Thanks!!

Thanks! I actually found it searching the forum here! It is really good at what it does!
There are 3-4 different note taking apps out there which have something particular about them that make them special, and things that you hate. I wish someone would make one that had it all!
Thanks again!

I recently had to flash my phone back to stock firmware and I lost the Samsung IM app... I have searched high and low to find it.
Does anyone know where it can be downloaded? I am sure it came with an update to Social Hub, but I dont even see that in the Samsung Apps Market.
Thanks!
PS: If someone maybe wanted to upload the apk for it, that would be pretty awesome.
BUMP! I am looking for this as well... And i dont think itll be as simple as the apk ccause its odexed on the phone itself...
go into Samsung Apps in your phone
then refresh, then it will show up
then install
then setup your accounts
then use IM
done
huh.. I don't have any such application on mine. These regional differences really are irritating.
here you go
just checked mine and its not there either, uk phone

Thank You kind sir! This was just what I was looking for...
I did not want the actual app from Seven which is all I could find. These are the actual Samsung Branded Apps!
Thank you so much !!!
Can we have then newest version of the Hub?
Thank you,
Hello...this one works verry well.A question though, is thete a newer version of this app that also includes Facebook functionality/connectivity?
Pray explain
never knew that samsung had a default messenger program installed on the galaxy s. I remove most of the samsung programs when i install a new firmware.
Too bad this messenger comes with Samsung mail. only wanted the messenger app
Disable translating IM function
Hello...
Please tell me if somehow it's possible to disable the translating function of IM?
I looked in settings/translate but only it can do is to change the translating languages. It's very helpfully for me to disable it.
Thank's a lot.
can I use that if I'm on MIUI???
Got the uae version and until now i did not get the update which has screen recorder. Is there a way to get it?
I'm wondering the same. .. It was a feature that I really wanted.
And the ocr app is missing too. Did all the reviewsites get a different firmware?

Any update/s on these two missing features (OCR and Screen Recorder)? I'm curious as to why this hasn't generated much buzz considering these features were highlighted and yet they don't actually exist on the Note II!

Samsung said that screen recording will be in a future update (confirmed by an xda member through an email from Samsung)
For ocr, download the app "photo reader" from the Samsung app store and it will add ocr to your gallery under "detect text" when viewing an image. Not what I expected, but it works ok. Google goggles or upload to Google Drive also give you ocr options.

Thank you very much for this tip!
As another tip I can also confirm that the "Photo Reader" App adds OCR as an input method to the stock Samsung keyboard:
Also you can use Photo Reader as a stand-alone app for following links, adding contacts, instant translation (after downloading free additional dictionaries) and searching text. Cool!

used a Note II for over a year now
just upgraded today to the note 3, to discover that in the S Note app, when you create a new note, THERE"S NO PREVIEW!!!
before on the note 2, when you open the app, there's a grid style listing of all your notes, each one with a preview of its contents!
Very useful when you have almost a hundred notes!
I imported everything using my Samsung account, and EVERY note on the new note 3 phone has a "cover" over the notes!! no previews!
so when i open the app, im greeted by TONS of blue (or whatever color) boxes, making it nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find the note im looking for!
are there any other users out there that HEAVILY use the S-Note app that understand my frustration???
Searching Google is pointless... and i swear ive been thru EVERY setting trying to figure it out...
why would they CHANGE THIS???!?!
anyone know how to get the previews back??
I found that if i go into EACH note, I can create a preview, and have to re size a preview box, but that would take hours for all my notes, and still doesn't solve the problem of new notes defaulting to having a preview for the "cover"
I know there's that drag down thing to see a preview.. but once again, this defeats the purpose.. its gone from a super useful app, to not usable at all!!
I need to see a list / grid of previews when opening app up!
HELP!!!
any advice appreciated!
FYI im not looking for alternative apps - so I don't need suggestions to "stop using" Snote I know its a semi-crappy app.. but REALLY>>>?? common samsung!!!

Use the S-pen and hover over them. It's not the best, but it works for me. don't think there's any settings to fix the app itself. Hope I helped.

yea.. its not ideal, but thanks! I turned airview back on, and it least i can see something. thanks for the help!
I know I hope someone finds a way to fix it entirely! It's a shame when they have something great in previous devices but goof up in the newer ones. Let's just be patient, I bet a lot of people agree with this issue! I just saw no one was replying and I'd just give you an option

This, along with losing text reflow in the stock browse, are two VERY big Note 3 letdowns.
Simple question as I've never used a Note phone before, just curious if I would have to use the default Samsung Notes or can I instead use any Notes app I install from the Play Store (be it Evernote or what have you)? Thanks!
You can use pretty much any note app you like. OneNote, Keep, Evernote, etc.

If you mean in the S-Pen Quick Settings, any app can be added. You will have to check S-Pen optimization and compatibility with your specific app of choice though.
Any other S-Pen function can be used with any app via the Share option once completing a task (GIF, Smart Select etc)
Thanks guys, a follow-up: If I use Samsung Notes how does the sync work? Is it only on the phone or is there a webapp, do my notes sync to Samsung servers or backed up on phone? I ask because I take a lot of notes for clients and that's why I really want the Note, but just preparing the little details so I know beforehand. Thanks so much for the help really appreciated
Hi everyone, so using more and more the tab s4 I find I could really use an app for android (but I'll even take it for mac if that's the only way) to make OCR out of a pdf.
I would need this in "2 versions", first with handwriting, some way to make OCR out of my handwriting (I already have the pdfs ready, they're just not searchable) and second to make another not handwritten pdf , searchable.
I tried looking online but I could only find apps that let you snap a photo and then make it searchable but I already have an app that does this, I can already make pdfs I just need to make the ones that I already have, searchable.
Really hope someone can help me thanks!

For searchable PDF's. I didn't read this so I don't know if this is what you're looking for. https://techwiser.com/5-best-ocr-app-for-android/
Adobe Acrobat Reader has a search function.

I'm afraid it's not what I needed. Those let you create ocr pdfs. My problem is that I already have the pdf, both hand written and not and I need to make them ocr

The Adobe reader will read your current PDF's and search through them....solves at least part of your problem.

So I'm awaiting delivery of my Tab S4 but I did download this on to my Moto Z3 phone today at no cost and it searches PDF's. May be different for the Tab.

Indeed that makes a pdf searchable but it has a subscription fee. And it's not that low. I was looking for something that was free or at least pay once can use forever

That is interesting, they must charge differently for tablets. On my phone the search is a basic feature with the subscription for the upgraded tools. We'll see what happens to me at the end of the month when I get the S4.
