Smart Notebook 18 Download Free Full Version NEW!
Catrina Mayoka
Each Rocketbook can replace up to 100 or more paper notebooks. Simply write with Pilot FriXion pens, then erase the pages with a damp cloth to reuse again & again. The free Rocketbook app makes it a snap to save your notes to the cloud.
I work at a small school, and we recently purchased HP probook laptops and upgraded to windows 10. In trying to set up with the last free version of Smart Notebook, I've discovered that I can run the notebook software, but touching/interacting with the board itself no longer works. Any suggestions? Ideally, I'd like to be able to run Windows 10 AND Smart Notebook 11.
There was discussion of a windows 10 breaking multiple versions of smart notebook shortly after a release of an update. I think the solution was to download the latest smartnotebook ink drivers and that resolved it for most of the schools:
After that it starting working perfectly, Smart Notebook detected the correct pens/eraser being lifted, the touch functionality came back. We usually check the light on the smartboard, if it's red, touch doesn't work, if it's green, it's all good.
I haven't tested with El Cap yet, but with 10.10 we were installing the trial version downloaded straight from the website and setting up a smart group for "has Smart software" and that group gets a script ran once to activate. Seemed to work 99.5% of the time. For those it didn't, I had to cancel some failed command as to why the script failed to run for some reason.
Does the smart notebook/smart board combination work with web pages?
If so you may find you can run the web version of sketchup which will open new models.
See if you can open Trimble Identity on the smartboard.
Or even open models directly in the warehouse.
There are E Ink tablets, smart pens, and notebooks made to save digital files of your handwritten notes or drawings. You can save files as PDFs, images, and Word Docs, or transcribe them to a text file in Google Docs to make all your notes searchable. Some of these devices can record too, which is great for lectures and interviews. If your notes need an upgrade, we recommend giving these a try. Be sure to check out our Best Dorm Essentials guide, as well as our Best Tablets, Best Laptop Backpacks, and Best Totes guides.
The short answer is no. These devices are expensive, usually costing several hundred dollars when you can simply buy a notebook and pen for a few bucks. But if you like the physical act of writing over typing but need to have digital copies, they're worth considering.
There are many ways to organize your work into different notebooks or quick sheets, and you can sort them with tags and folders. You also upload PDFs and ebooks to the slate via the company's app or website, and ReMarkable has a Chrome extension that lets you send any webpage to read on the tablet. You can integrate your notes into Google Drive, Dropbox, or Microsoft OneDrive. However, you may need a Connect subscription ($3 per month) to access syncing and unlimited cloud storage.
Kobo makes some of our favorite e-readers and this combines reading with note-taking. The Elipsa is pricey, but it comes with a stylus that allows you to mark up ebooks and compatible PDFs. If you're an English major who has to read multiple books a semester, this might be a great option for you to easily keep track of notes. Plus you can create numerous notebooks like the other tablets here. Pro tip: You can check out ebooks from your local library for free if you have a library card.
E Ink notebooks are easier on the eyes and feel closer to paper than a glass-screened tablet. But in some cases, you might spend less getting an iPad and an Apple Pencil (and a keyboard if you also want to type sometimes). You can also do more on them thanks to the thousands of apps in the App Store, but still take notes and draw. An iPad is typically more intuitive to use than many of these digital notebooks too. WIRED writer Jaina Grey uses her 11-inch iPad Pro with the GoodNotes and Notability apps for her writing, but there are other models that should work fine.
Skip the tablet and write directly on paper with a smart pen instead. The Neo Smartpen M1+ is the thinnest and lightest of all the pens I tried, which makes it feel a bit more like your standard pen. Importantly, it's comfortable to hold and use. You should be able to find whatever size and style of notebook you need as well as planners.
The Neo Studio app (available on iPhone and Android) is nice, with an easy-to-navigate notebook system and the ability to search for pages by page number or date. You can change the color of the ink and thickness of the lines right on the page as you go, or you can switch them up later and edit the colors of what you've written. This pen doesn't record audio, but if that's something you want, Neo sells a separate recorder that pairs with the pen.
Moleskine has garnered a devoted following for its classic notebooks and journals, but it has also moved into smart territory. The Smart Writing Set gets you a notebook and pen bundle, so this is the best option for most people starting out. Write in the notebook and it'll appear in the companion app! But you can buy the pen on its own, as well as the smart notebooks and planners in various sizes.
I find a lot of joy in brand-new notebooks, but there's no doubt that they can be wasteful. Rocketbook makes several reusable notebooks, planners, and accessories like flashcards. Take notes with an erasable Pilot Frixion Pen (one should come with whichever item you buy), scan photos to the Rocketbook app, and erase the whole thing with the damp microfiber cloth. The app is designed to keep everything organized and easily send things off to Google Drive, Evernote, OneNote, and a handful of other options.
The paper isn't as nice to write on as regular paper, but it's made to withstand a damp cloth. If I took a ton of notes every day, I'd probably want really good paper, but I like that one notebook can last as long as you take care of it. I stuck with the black pen it came with, but some people buy colorful Frixions for more organized notes.

Smart notebooks are one way to reduce your environmental impact, especially if you're one to buy a planner each year or a fan of journaling. Beyond their eco-friendliness, is the plain fact that a lot of people still prefer to handwrite their notes, journal entries, lists, and planning rather than use a digital alternative.
How does that last part work? The notebook cover on the Rocketbook Pro features an embedded NFC chip that, when held up to an NFC-enabled smartphone running iOS or Android, leads to the Rocketbook app. This will then let you scan your pages and save them as a shareable PDF, individually or as a bundle. It can be preset to automatically send the scans to different destinations, like OneDrive, Evernote, Slack, email, iCloud, Google Drive, box, OneNote, and more; all with different codes that are at the bottom of each page.
Rocketbook has also taken a step towards a more professional look with the Pro smart notebook, by doing away with the spiral binding and flexible cover in favor of a hard, scratch-resistant portfolio-style cover made of vegan leather.
As a fan of bullet journaling and organization in general, I love how customizable a blank or dotted notebook is. My bullet journal serves as an all-in-one for planning, writing down work tasks and meetings, lists, to-dos, budgeting, and random annotations.
Having used it for a number of weeks, I can't say for sure that I'll never go back to my pen and paper notebook, especially my beloved bullet journal. But I can definitely say I won't for a good while. I love the fact that the Rocketbook Pro is versatile so I can create my own layouts on the dot grid, and I can wipe off any errors I make -- something I can't do on my paper bullet journal. For now, I find myself reaching for my Rocketbook exclusively whenever I have to take down a quick note or try to organize my thoughts, so it's been a win in my book.
The humble notebook is evolving. Gone are the days when taking notes by hand meant you were making a choice between old-school notes and having access to those notes digitally. These days, you can take notes by hand, and still be able to access those notes on your phone or laptop.
There are a few things to consider when buying a smart notebook. The first is exactly how you want to use it. Some smart notebooks come with a smart pen that can detect writing automatically, while others have marked pages that you have to take a picture of with your phone. But the arguably easier-to-use smart pen comes at a higher price, so if you're on a budget, you may have to stick with taking those photos with your phone.
Looking for a way to digitize your notes without the need to buy a smart pen? Rocketbook has some great solutions for your needs. Rocketbook smart notebooks don't necessarily work as seamlessly and intuitively as the Moleskin Smart Writing Set, but they still work pretty well, and offer a number of features to make the whole experience easier.
The standard Rocketbook Core is basically a notebook that you can write in, like you would any other notebook. Then, once you're done, whip out your phone and use the Rocketbook app to scan your notes, and they'll be sent directly to the location of your choosing.
The Rocketbook app works decently well, and there are some great tools in there to help make for a more versatile experience. For starters, at the bottom of each page in a Rocketbook notebook is a series of symbols that you can mark. Those symbols correspond to different locations that you can have your digitized notes automatically sent to. So, for example, you could set the diamond symbol to correspond to a note being sent to your email, and the bell symbol to upload notes to your Google Drive. There are seven symbols in total, and the app works with most major cloud storage services, along with sending notes to your email, sending it in Slack, and more.
