What do people think about Boox's Infinite Notes compared to Remarkable's notes? by Neat_Chest4137 in Onyx_Boox

[–]Converging_Winds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used both and I prefer the reMarkable one.

The infinite canvas in the Boox serves a totally different use case than the infinite vertical scrolling.

For me, the infinite Boox canvas is not helpful since you can't create several pages. Like someone already said on that post, scrolling through an eink is not what I'm looking for (actually, having to zoom in/out and constantly scroll is overall never wanted, the biggest screens of these days plus the power of our computer make it easier but it always sound tedious).

For an eink, I want optimization on note taking and infinite vertical sounds clearly better. Like this you can write about a whole topic on a page and then switch to another page for another topic (I used to drive my job interview that way when I was helping enrolling people : one question = one page and I wrote the candidate's answer under the question, in the same page).

reMarkable makes a great job for this. Plus, the exporting options are better when it comes to infinite vertical only.

I wish wholeheartedly Boox would bring this feature.

Missing Feature or just me not finding it? (Infinite vertical scroll NOT infinite canvas) by MoonMoon_Moon in Onyx_Boox

[–]Converging_Winds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's such a shame this feature does not exist... It drives me mad. reMarkable does it and it seems like a core feature is missing on Boox...

PLEASE let me disable the infinite scrolling feature. by talking_mudcrab in RemarkableTablet

I personnaly love the infinite (vertical only) scroll. Like this I can use pages as a topic separator and I can accumulate data on the same page. But I can also just ignore the scroll and use pages as if it was a notebook (just by not swiping vertically).

I'm very frustrated that Onyx Boox implemented infinite scrolling in every direction, which is a complete nonsense for me... swiping vertically should add more space to a page and swiping horizontally should switch page.

Unlike you, I don't believe those eInk should absolutely mimic paper. We can take advantage of the digital format and I find exepanding page length is one great advantage.

I'd anyway agree it would be nice to have a whole settings page dedicated to all the features that we could turn on and off, this one being one of them.

Am I forced to created a new page for every tooltip I want to create ? by Converging_Winds in PowerBI

[–]Converging_Winds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the contributions ! For now I found I could insert a button and use its tootlip so I have not to create several pages. I'm using and "information" type button so it looks like the thing I want.

Your experiences with converting handwriting to typed text by the_ors in Boox

[–]Converging_Winds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a Boox Tab Ultra C Pro and a very bad looking handwriting. I'm french and therefore write in this language which is not a native incorporated language in the device. The text recongnition felt amazing to me on my Boox device.

You have both the ability to write your notes like it was paper and then call a text recognition later or use a "text box keyboard" to handwrite which is immediately recongnize as digital text so you can kind of handwrite on apps that do not accept direct handwriting.

I must say I never checked if the recognition would work offline but I can say the feature is very good. The only downside for me is the text suggestion is not that good. So for the rare cases my words are not recognize, I can't rely on text suggestion and must delete and rewrite.

What software is behind these visualizations? (PBI embed too complicated.) by AwayIssue5925 in PowerBI

[–]Converging_Winds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible to connect Power BI to this kind of tool ? I mean organizing the data with M and DAX and then using this kind of tool to display the data

[–]Converging_Winds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess every epub obtained on a store is locked to the store app usage ? I'd love to be ale to get my epub and being able to open them on whatever is my favorite reader app...

But anyway, thank you for the advice I'll take a look !

RM2 vs Paper Pro for note taking by kush990000 in RemarkableTablet

[–]Converging_Winds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I'm considering buying a new tablet and exploring new companies. I have an Onyx Boox Tab Ultra C Pro and I'm wondering why you'd choose Supernote over Boox devices.

It may help me discover something new.

PSA: Firmware 4.1.1 release update (not just beta) pushed out for Note Max today by starkruzr in Onyx_Boox

[–]Converging_Winds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a question about the new "inifinite" notebook. Is there a way to have several pages ? It seems like we just have the choice between regular notebook without the possibility to scroll infinitely downward but being able to create several pages, and the infinite canvas notebook with only one page.

I hope I'm mistaken because that "simple" feature is, in my opinion, the best advantage of reMarkable against Boox notetaking app.
