For those with different handwriting style, YMMV. For the $2 upgrade it was worth the try, but I won’t be using GoodNotes 5 much in the case where I want to search the notes – because of the poor search and that it only recognizes horizontal notes. For example, if you upgrade from the App Store, you can redownload the full version to your Mac. GoodNotes 5 so far fails to recognize 50% of it - while Notability recognizes 90% of it. Does GoodNotes 5 require a one-time payment or a monthly/yearly subscription GoodNotes 5 is a universal app, which means you only need to upgrade once to be able to get it on all your Apple devices. A handwritten note in the original that had the content “Mary” " B" was recognized by Notability as two strings, but by GoodNotes as one string (“MaryB”).įWIW, my handwriting tends to be block letters, using large and small caps together, and is tightly crowded (virtually no leading). I don’t know if GoodNotes 5 is accessing those text annotations or is redoing the recognition. It adds the ability to share documents with other users and work together on the same version. If you look at one of those pdf files - are the handwritten notes annotations or just part of the underlying graphics layer?Įxporting the PDF of the same page from Notability to Dropbox then opening it in PDF Expert my Mac – I see that the handwriting is on the graphics layer and Notability is overlaying a text annotation on top of each handwriting snippet – seems to be transparent. Today, we’re excited to announce the release of our latest GoodNotes update version 5.5. On the plus side, the new Quick Notes feature and use of nested folders is a good update. There is a beta test signup available for the GoodNotes 5 app, which a beta is released. Vorhees reports that a new Mac version might be in the works. The old Mac version remains on the computer, and still works with GoodNotes 4-formatted files. I was disappointed to see GoodNotes disappear from the Mac App Store for now – and GoodNotes 5 is not compatible with the current Mac version. The bundle updates GoodNotes 4 to support importing GoodNotes 4 notes to GoodNotes 5, and provides a free or discounted copy of GoodNotes 5. I own GoodNotes 4 – and if you do also, then purchase the Good Notes upgrade bundle in the App Store. Handwriting that is diagonal on the page is not always recognized - and the recognition doesn’t occur when the ink width is set below 0.3. The handwriting recognition, indexing, and search is better in v5 – though not perfect. John Voorhees has an overview on MacStories. GoodNotes has released version 5 of its handwritten note taking app for iOS, which is especially good on iPad Pro (old and new).
