Howdy gurus,
Is there any apps out there that would allow me to write on the actual screen on the Note 8? I mean, can I use my S-Pen to highlight, take notes on the actual screen?

Hoping I understood your question correctly :
If by desktop you mean like windows or mac, then you could use a remote client like splashtop remote/vnc etc.
or there is another app called virtual tablet that makes your note a virtual tablet for your computer (though pressure sensitivity does not work, but other features can be used)
However if what you are asking is all to do on the note itself then there are a plenty of apps that let you do that and have pen support.
for example in pre installed s-note you can switch between writing pen/pencil/ highlighter / eraser.
I mostly prefer handwriting recognition in the samsung keyboard as with that I can do a lot more in most of office like apps.
Search for 'Snap Pad Free' on the play store. You can set the paper transparency to 100% if you wish so it looks like you are drawing directly on the desktop or within any app (it's always available)... then to save, simply make a screenshot. Done.
That's the closest app I know to what you're asking for.

Hi intelliriffer, thanks for the advice. I think that your second option is close to what I'm focusing on.

How to do the cascade and multi-window mode in rteh 2014 edition like the 2013 one.
Where you can have multiple windows at once and not in the background.
Also, do you happen to know any software that lets you write on the powerpoint presentations?

Regarding the powerpoint presentations, by using Polaris that comes with out tablet you can both type (meaning actually change the ppt) or use the pen to keep notes/draw on the presentation
Odd, but I can't find the draw on the presentations for Polaris? It doesn't save it.
I know it is possible w/ like PDF and word, but I don't see w/ ppt.? Thanks! May you show me wehre?
EDIT: I found it, but it says it isn't a supported document type for drawing save.
Hi All I got my note pro 12.2 and mainly will used it for studying and note taking and lectures and word , excel so on
so please every one tell me his best apk for studying and note taking , knowing that i used spen its good but my main problem the page size is too small, I canot make it llarger using the multi window mode
so any help with making the page bigger or a btter apk for that?
also , I want to know how to conncet my note pro to projector for ppt presentations?
I also use my Note when I'm in meetings and I do one of two things. If the meeting is short then I just use the S Pen to jot notes down then type them up later. I use Papyrus as my jotting program. Simple and easy to use. I don't use S Note as it's a little too simple and not nearly enough options.
For long meetings I have a bluetooth keyboard. I will be reviewing that later. I use Google Docs as it's easy to use and saves everything to the cloud as well as on my tablet. I also use Sheet for my Excel sheets. There is genuine Microsoft Word and Excel for the tablet however if you don't have a subscription to Office 365 then you can't save anything.
There are plenty of other apps out there that might be ideal for you however I think for me I've found the right balance.
I'd love to have a Docs program that can integrate S Pen scribbles and is very fully functional.
I recently found Microsoft's One Note.
It has a decent amount of functionality as well as pen support. But what I REALLY like is the way it organizes eveything.
You can have multiple "notebooks" like SNote, but then you can have multiple 'chapters' inside each one.
I'll second the suggestion for One Note. Microsoft has done a killer job with the app's UI/UX and having the ability to automatically sync with my Microsoft account (which, in turn, lets it sync on my PC) is fantastic.

There are 3 methods:
1. MHL/HDMI-Adaptor (Samsung has 3, MHL1, MHL2 and a MHL3 Adapter). With a Full-HD Monitor I use the MHL2 Version, because I don't have a 4k projector/Monitor.
2. Miracast. But Miracast can only do one thing: copy the Screen.
3. My prefered method for projectors: Chromecast.
thanks all for reply and really sorry didnt reply fast
I will give both lectures notes and micrososft one a try, although i tried them before and didnt like them may I didnt keep on using them
secondly do you guys know a refernce manager for android? and a good office I liked Hword and Hcell a lot but It have little problems with android
Btw. with "Microsoft PowerPoint Preview" you can use your S-Pen during the Presentation!!! Very cool, this makes your NotePro to a real Whiteboard.

thanks a lot man I wil try , I tried also microsoft note , I ddnt like it, and Guess LEcture notes is great but need more practice and making changes in its settings
I did look at Microsoft Note but it seems like you can't do much unless you have a 360 account.

Yes, thats the Problem with Microsofts apps. I have installed PowerPoint Preview, Excel Preview and Word Preview, but I use it in "Readonly" mode to view mail attachments or show Presentations with S-Pen Support.
I use my Note for planning projects, setting agendas, taking meeting minutes and setting TO-DO. lists.
For this I use Evernote. Most things are done with the keyboard, note taking is with the Spen or voice recognition.
I know Evernote isn't for everyone, but you get a years premium subscription with the Note pro so give it a go.
Keeps everything orderly in its place.
i love squid(papyrus) for note taking. it seems like u can draw and jot on a very large paper!
+1 One Note : PC Synchronisation & management
I love PDF Max 4 for highlighting text.
I read a lot of medical literature, and PDF Max 4 in in combination with a bigger stylus (Wacom Bamboo or so) has just the right workflow for highlighting text very precisely and very easily . Ideal tool for exam preparations, much better than any other app I tried so far.
I think my most used productivity app is Inkredible. It allows me to draw in vector and export it as a vector PDF, so I can import it directly into Illustrator. May not be as useful for everyone else, but I'm a designer, so it saves me time.
Note taking I do in Papyrus, and texts I write in Droidedit. Droidedit lacks formatting, which means less hassle when importing into Indesign.
Now all I need is a proper Adobe package for Android and I'm all set...
(I'm obviously using a Wacom Bamboo for Note stylus, and I still hate the fact that my Intuos stylus doesn't work on this.)
No one tried Fiinote?
Shock horror.
Features:
.draw
.voice notes
.keyboard
.handwrite
.infinite page size
.widgets
Your welcome.

I second the Chromecast option. I think the Chromecast is the best $35 I've ever spent. Another thing I like about it is having 2 daughters, who are usually glued to their phones, Chromecast has a lot of games you can play with multiple people and everyone uses their own device, like being able to see your letters is Scrabble while the board is on the projector. It's just a fun way to spend time with my girls instead of them staying in their rooms being antisocial.
INKredible - Handwriting Note is great, i used to install a similar app on my Ipad (i don't know if it is this app or not but same features)
Very convenient to take note what came across my mind, but i think it would be disaster if handwriting is bad and ugly
apk if you need: http://choilieng.com/apk-on-pc/com.viettran.inkredible.apk
I would like to find a good note taking app for the S3. One that takes advantage of the stylus.
So far, I've tried Microsoft OneNote and an app called LectureNotes. I've not liked OneNote because of poor palm rejection. LectureNotes is pretty good. But it's a bit unintuitive. Any alternative suggestions would be appreciated!
Squid is very good for writing but poor text input feature.
but I think Squid is the best one out there.
You can write with S pen and delete with finger
I'm using OneNote because it seems to be the only note taking app that will allow me to create forms I can write on.
It's true, the palm rejection on this app is not the greatest. I've trained myself to dip the tip of the pen toward the screen first, which will tell OneNote to begin palm rejection. Using that methodology, the annoyances are reduced.
I'm still on a hunt for something though, so I'll post here if I find something that works, or will visit to see if someone else has a good solution.
I use both squid and OneNote. I think squid is my general go-to but I like that OneNote is sync'd across all of my devices (multiple platforms).
As opposed to the post above, I have my squid settings a little different. I use the side button for erasing and my finger for navigating.
Thank you for the suggestions. I've now had a chance to play around with Squid, OneNote and LectureNotes. For my needs, LectureNotes is best. Here are some comparisons.
1. I like OneNote for its integration with OneDrive and the MS Office Suite. But poor palm rejection makes it unusable for me.
2. Squid is very easy and intuitive to use. Compared to it, LectureNotes has almost too many features and setting. What I don't like about Squid is the pricing model: to unlock customizability features you need to buy a monthly/yearly subscription. If they had a one-time pay option, I would have bought it.
3. LectureNotes has a steep learning curve (for a note taking app). When I first tried to create a new notebook and just start using my S pen, I was not able. Could not figure out what I had done wrong. But then I more carefully created a new notebook. Everything started working fine.
Squid! A fantastic app!
You may want to check out MyScript Nebo preview. It can convert your handwritten notes to text if you want or need. Something to check out.

You can also try out app "HandWrite Pro Note & Draw". It seems quite good as well..
I have tried MyScript Nebo in other platforms and can assure you it is a wonderful note taking app. Just waiting for it to get more stable.

@ckelly33 How do you set side button for erasing only in squid as when you press it the Samsung Spen menu interface pops up always for me
In squid I use my finger to erase not the side button, but I don't think you can change the button.
I do highly recommend "NEBO Preview". I have used OneNote and a few others but NEBO lets you export to MS Word and has an incredible writing recognision in various languages that you can download. Additionally you can note math and it recognises those as math and is able to solve those for you.
Best regards,

INKredible is awesome!
Onenote seems to have been updated and works much better for palm rejection in my limited testing. Can someone confirm from their side?
Thanks!
Even if I've always appreciated the high level of customization of LectureNotes, I think that Onenote should be the preferred way for me to go for writing handwritten notes during my Math lessons, sharing them with my students and storing them in some cloud (Onedrive).
Last year Onenote worked ok with a Windows 10 Microsoft Surface tablet on which I've installed the full version of Onenote (I think Onenote 2013).
But, unless I'm missing something, writing notes in the Galaxy Tab S3 with the free but rather limited Android version of Onenote is not good enough for the lack of some basic tool as "select some ink" (lasso select) and move/copy/cut/delete it or a tool like "insert space".
I can't understand why these two very basic tools aren't offered in the Android version (it seems they are available in the iPad version, at least the lasso selection).
Hopefully they will be added in future upgrades of the app.
But for now I'm afraid I'll have to do with my (much heavier and cumbersome) Surface for writing notes in the classroom giving up using the much more lighter and agile Tab S3.
I'm really enjoying the features of Squid but just learned that it will not sync across devices. Very disappointed. Wondering if s pen features will be as easy in Evernote...
This is a bit of an old thread. Did the OP make a choice? I'm using a combo of ported S-Note and Lecturenotes just like I had on my 10.1 and have on Note 4. S-note is overall nicer and syncs with Evernote but won't allow making a widget out of a note unless you use Touchwiz. Lecturenotes does do that and has a lot of customization power but needs something like foldersync to synchronize with my Note 4 and can only be viewed on pc or Evernote by creating a PDF.

try Myscript Neo.
it s pretty good
I use S Note https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.snote for two main reasons
1) It supports handwriting recognition and so I can search for my notes
2) I can sync my notes between my Tab S3 tablet and Note 8 phones through owncloud (I don't use any other 3rd party cloud storage providers as I prefer to have my files saved in my own hard disks)
I tried them all and ended up with Onenote because I can access it anywhere including my note 8 phone. I like that Snote can Convert to text although when I do so the formating, text size and spaceing is for me so out of wack. With OneNote I can select and convert to text on computer if I need to do so for say meeting notes. I Just wish it would work on the screen off Memo.

Hi,
I have used Nebo on the surface pro4. I have now an Asus ZenPad S8 with pen, but cannot download the Nebo app (not compatible). But the preview is running quite fine. Would like to know if you can share some apk with me for the latest version to see if this still works ?
Thanks, Cardigan
Hello,
The questions is off topic, but this is probably the best place to ask
* how good is Samsung Tab S3 for pencil note taking?
Can you compare the precision with Samsung Note phone stylus? Can it replace a physical/paper notebook?
Many thanks!
Hi,
I'm happy to present what I think is the first Air Mouse app for the Note 10: sMouse.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.kinesthetic.smouse
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZI6yBJ3u1c
sMouse is a virtual cursor for your Note 10 that you can control with the S Pen.
sMouse uses the Gyro embedded in the S Pen to detect movement and move the cursor.
To navigate: Hold down the button on the S Pen while keeping the mouse still. This engages 'Warp mode', where you can re-position the cursor, or go back or home.
To scroll: Hold down the button on the S Pen and quickly flick the S Pen up or down to start Scrolling.
Permissions:
The app needs two permissions to operate, these are:
* Overlay permission: This allows the app to draw a virtual cursor over your screen
* Accessibility Service permission: The app needs to be granted the Accessibility Service's 'Gesture' permission so that it can perform clicks, navigate Back and to Home on your device.
Current limitations:
* The S Pen Gyro only works well when the S Pen is held horizontally. If you point the S Pen down (vertically), the gyro can not detect movement, and your cursor won't move.
* The virtual cursor can not move/draw into the system bar at the top of the phone. This is an Android OS security thing where Android will not let apps draw in this space.
This app is just a bit of fun that I made after playing with the S Pen SDK to see what the S Pen could do, and to my pleasant surprise it has a functioning gyro sensor that is readable from the SDK. I've made a good attempt to make this as usable as possible, however it is limited by the hardware in the S Pen.
Thats it. The app is free, no paid versions or advertisements. If you like it please leave a nice review, and maybe checkout my stuff
Hope you enjoy!
Very useful app that you have created. It is very useful. Brilliant work.
ironic that i spoke to someone weeks ago about having an app made like this, wish i was quicker, well done looking forward to test it.
This is great. Seems to work well so far.
This would be a great addition to Dex Desktop while working on a TV. I haven't tested it yet but it seems like a fit made in heaven.
I will try! Great work! Thanks!
Great app and work. Anyone could post a new video showing all the functions?
It could be used like a regular mouse ... Pointing, moving, right and left click ... Except toolbar?

Looks interesting
thanks for your great work, can you please provide us a link for the apk file, for those of us who can't access the play store?
This app save me; I was looking for all kinds of alternatives to use the Gear VR on my note 10 as a cardboard viewer but couldn't remap neither the spen nor the controller to trigger a screen touch (click). With this app I can finally do it.
Only one request, would you send me an apk wich doesn't write the mouse on screen? I always end up putting the mouse on the right and setting the sensitivity to 0 in order to hide it, but when I restart the App it puts it on the center.
A suggestion, make something like this app with the settings I'm telling you and put it in the app store with something like "Spen VR clicker" or something, I know it would be really helpful and many users would download it.

I don't manage to get it working on my note 10+. It's running Android 10.
I think it has to do with the permissions or the s-pen. Can anyone tell me exactly how to set them correctly?
Awesome. Most definitely will be a neat tool to use
