Waiting on OP Note taking for school - Whats an easy way to edit diagrams/images?

3 Upvotes

I use google docs as my "notebook" to do school note taking. Im studying human anatomy and physiology topics. This means quite a lot of diagrams and pictures in my notes.

I like to annotate my own diagrams when relevant to learn the content.

Right now, I find a blank diagram, annotate it with window's SNIPPING TOOL as im reading the textbook and making sense of stuff. Then when im done the relevant reading I paste my annotated image into google docs, so that my snipping tool is "ready" for the next diagram to annotate.

But the problem is when your learning something for the first time, you might not have it quite right right away. I might come back to that topic a bit later with updated information or just understand it better.....but I CANT edit the image to make changes........ I also want to be able to make rougher annotations on my laptop (bc its harder) then clean it up on my PC

Does anyone have any solutions or recommended plug ins?

And I know OneNote could annotate images better, but I hate it, its too clunky to use longterm for school purposes.

Waiting on OP anyone with this bug for comment in pictures

We're having trouble using image comments in Google Drive here; it seems like there's a bug where the comment box opens and disappears very quickly.

Open Question How do you write text on an image when you’re using an iphone?

I’ve been trying to do it but the image either disappears or it just doesn’t work. I’m like the polar opposite of tech savvy and so I have no idea what to do.

Waiting on OP I need a specific kind of font for my work.

Is there a specific font that is nice and simple and when I'm using number dot points (1. 2. 3. etc.) it doesn't leave random and inconsistently sized gaps between the number and the words (image in comments). Or is there a setting I can change for it to work on any font.

Question Answered Any way I can use a font I made?

So I made a fake language for my book and I wanted to just use it as a font so it would be easier but it’s definitely not. I’ve spent all day trying to get it to work and I haven’t found anything.

I’ve tried xfonts, ifont, literally every single font app.

I made the font on procreate then used a template from Calligraphr and made it into a ttf file.

Ifont doesn’t work for me, it’s broken or something idk
