![]() ![]() For those who are writing scientific papers in a LaTeX editor, copying an expression provides a version that can be pasted into a LaTeX editor.Calculations can even be solved provided they're somewhat basic. Once the formula expression is written, a tap converts the handwritten formula to a proper mathematical expression instantly. When I was an engineering student back in the 70s, my notebooks were full of mathematical formulas and diagrams that usually showed loads on a structure.Ĭan Nebo handle it? Sure!By double-tapping an area on the screen and selecting Math from the pop-up menu that appears, you create a dedicated area that lets you start writing a formula. Not once did having my palm on the screen of the iPad Pro cause it to misunderstand my scribbled notes.Taking notes is often more than just writing text. Put dashes in front of text on different lines, and you have a bullet list.One old favorite gesture from the Newton days is here - a quick scratch-out gesture deletes words or characters, but without the 'poof' animation we had back in the 1990s.The palm rejection of Nebo is perfect. Those same gestures, when applied to just one or two words in a much larger paragraph, double-underline or underline a piece of text. ![]() ![]() All are possible with very simple Pencil gestures.For example, creating an H1 heading is as easy as underlining text twice. But most of the time when I'm typing a blog entry, I want to create headings (H1, H2), break the text into paragraphs, and make bullet lists. So good that it can understand my fastest scrawl close to 100% of the time with no delay at all. Don't have an iPad Pro and Pencil? Watch this video and you may find yourself pulling out the credit card to buy them! How good is the handwriting recognition? It's so good that it's been awarded as an Apple World Today Top Pick of 2016.To get an idea of how Nebo works on your iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil, download the app - it's currently free. That's thanks to, an app for iPad Pro and Apple Pencil that has the best handwriting recognition I've ever seen - and I was a rabid Apple Newton user and developer. I've typed over 3 million words while blogging over the years, but this is the first blog post that I've written by hand. ![]()
