Note Taking Software??

[cadmaster]

what does everyone recommend for note taking software? i am in the design business and need to jot down notes when i am on a construction site...sometimes i can use the keyboard...other times i want to write it out w/ the stylus...also would maybe sketch a quick floor plan on it (realize it wouldnt b effective cause the screen is so small)...it doesnt have to be advanced...but would like to be able to save as maybe a txt or word...rtf..something i can sync w/ desktop then print...i have the axim x30...624 mhz model..

thanks everyone

I've been exploring the same thing... right now I am trying PhatPad: http://www.phatware.com/

Before you go looking for a third-party software, have you tried the Notes software already installed in WIM 2003 SE?

I was pretty amazed at its versatility, although I prefer to use the built in keyboard, as my handwriting sucks a** :)

Give it a try (if you haven't already). There are plenty of programs out there, (Phatpad being one of them) along with letter recognition software, etc... The PIM capabilities of the Axim are soooooooooo much better then what I had with my Palm :approve:

I use Handnotes when I want to write things out in my own handwriting and draw things along with it. It works pretty good and you can organize notes by topics (i.e. school, work, personal, etc.) This program sounds exactly like what you are looking for.

Another program I just started using is PhatNotes that works extremely well with Pocket Informant and syncs with outlook notes. But I don't know too much about it. I'm not even sure if you can write in your own hand writing. I mainly use it for taking notes that I use calligrapher to enter.

When I am taking long notes I use Word, but am looking at textmaker.

Try AtomicDB's Idea Library....

It's not a note taker but It's great for jotting down ideas.

It Lets you tie notes, sketches, recordings, pictures, etc together to one Idea.

And It's freeware
