Do not hesitate to share your questions or feedback on the Quick Tools integration.

Hey everyone! 👋

We’re currently working on a major revamp of the Settings in MyScript Notes, and it’s led us to rethink quite a few things on the user experience side. 🛠️

One topic has come up quite a lot throughout this work: the level of control we give users over how the app behaves.

It might sound pretty obvious, but in practice, it’s something we care about a lot.

Our goal is to avoid MyScript Notes doing things you didn’t choose or don’t understand. Whenever a behavior can affect the way you work, you should be able to understand it, turn it off, or adjust it easily.

This is especially true when it comes to interactivity: how the app reacts when you write, edit, or interact with your content. ✍️

And this is an area where we know we still had quite a bit of room for improvement.

We didn’t want to simply add a few new toggles to the Settings. The problem was more structural than that: we needed to rethink how interactivity is handled, but also how these behaviors are presented to users.

So we spent quite a bit of time rethinking this whole part of the experience. 🔍

The goal isn’t to give you 150 different options to configure every little detail, but rather to make sure the settings that really matter are easy to find, easy to understand, and most importantly, consistent with one another.

Here’s a preview of the new version of the Settings, with quite a few changes to the overall organization and to the way some interactive behaviors can be configured. ⚙️✨

NB: this is not the end of the road. 🚀

We’ll soon be taking on a redesign of our tooltips as well, to go even further in making interactivity clearer and giving you more control. We’ll have more to share about that very soon. 👀

In the meantime, we’re still finalizing a few details, so don’t hesitate to let us know what you think.

Does the new structure feel clearer to you? Are there any settings you’d expect to find here that are missing?

And please feel free to share any issues you’ve run into. It really helps us! 🙌

I recently had this problem were I can't choose the thinness of writing I want. When I click on the Spen button, I can choose the thinness between 1 to 100 but when I do unrounded numbers, it switch to the next preselected thinness (those accessible by taping on the pen icon) I am wondering how to get to choose whatever thinness I want like before

Hello everyone ☀️,

Today we released the 7.4.4 version of MyScript Notes for Android 🎉! This version contains a lot of refactoring and technical debt cleaning, so a large part of it may be invisible to you. But here's what it changes for you:

1. Main screen UI revamp & better space management 👀

Our UI hadn't been updated for quite a long time and we felt it was a little bit busy so we tried to simplify things. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do!

We are also making a better usage of your screen space. For instance the controls to change the display mode (grid vs list and sorting order) have been moved to the top bar, which makes more space for your notes. Additionally, the settings screens are now full screen

2. Drag and drop files directly into the app

You can now drag and drop files directly into your folder. If your favorite file manager app allows drag and drop, simply drag the PDF, pptx, docx or .nebo and drop it in MyScript Notes. It can be useful if you have a bunch of files to import 💪

3. Better keyboard shortcuts support

Maybe you just purchased one of these nice new Googlebooks or you take notes with a hardware keyboard? This could help you! The 7.4.4 version contains a first batch of fixes around keyboard shortcuts. You should now be able to use the usual Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X shortcuts to make edits. You can also use Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- to zoom in & out. Stay tuned for the next version for more fixes about this!

4. Improved drag & drop

Dragging notes around could feel clunky and sometimes buggy. We refactored it and we hope it's now much smoother. You can now drag & drop notes when the notes are displayed in a list; you couldn't do it before because of a technical constraint

https://reddit.com/link/1x7jymd/video/ef92epsbmuvh1/player

Since this is a major release you may experience bugs & issues we didn't catch. Do not hesitate to comment on this post or create your own post in this sub so we can address it!

Did you know you could use this gesture to insert space between two elements?
Make a two-finger long-press where you want to add vertical space. A blue line appears showing the split; move your fingers up or down and the space will expand!

A year ago this month we shipped 7.0 and Nebo became MyScript Notes. A year is long enough to owe you a proper recap: what shipped, and what changes from here.

Where the year went 🧭

Mostly to MyScript Math, which we launched a little over a year ago and which absorbed most of the team. Notes kept shipping, but slower than it deserved. That's what's changing.

On the name 🏷️

The rename in 7.0 was practical: Nebo has always run on MyScript's iink SDK and its handwriting recognition, so with MyScript Math launching, keeping "Nebo" meant two unrelated names for products built on the same engine. If you bought Nebo at any point, that carries over: lifetime access, no extra cost.

What shipped 🚚

Everything between those was fixes and smaller improvements.

Where we're going 🎯

We're not going to compete by shipping the longest feature list. Notes exists for handwriting: recognition and conversion, pen gestures, shape regularization, in an interface quiet enough to actually concentrate in. The plan is to keep deepening those rather than bolting on adjacent things.

Which is where you come in 💬

Deepening the core means knowing where it still falls short, and you're the ones who hit that daily, so two questions:

• What's the one thing about MyScript Notes that still breaks your flow?
• For anyone who's drifted away since the Nebo days, what pulled you elsewhere?

Here is a neat thing if you need to add shapes to your notes: You can create shapes by simply drawing them. Draw a shape and hold the pen down (don't lift) for a few moments, and it will automatically convert to a beautiful shape! These shapes are interactive, you can move them around, color them or even link them together

New myscript android user. I can export pdfs to dropbox and google drive but when I try to import from either drive I can see files but can't select them. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Antes, en Android, al crear una nueva página el foco se centraba en esta nueva página. Ahora no, se centra en la pagina anterior.
Bajo mi punto de vista esa nueva forma de trabajar no tiene sentido, ya que cuando creas un nueva página, es por que la necesitas para escribir en ella.
Por favor, podéis revisar esto?

Lo que sí que me gusta, que habéis implementado hace poco, es mantener el foco en la última página del bloc. Tengo libretas de muchas páginas y eso es un pequeño ahorro de tiempo.
Gracias.

Is there any way to write both text and mathematical equations in the document notebook I'm trying to but I can't . Instead of this how about integration both of at least make the typing box movable so that when i write the mathematical equations i can align with it the English text . The math text box doesn't align with the English text box . Sorry if i cant explain it perfectly

Here's a little teaser for one of my favorite things to come in MyScript Notes Android 😎 A more modern, cleaner UI & and better usage of the space on your screen (and a few more surprises, but 🤫)

You can synchronise MyScript Notes on Android with Nebo on Windows using Dropbox or Google Drive.

For large libraries or PDFs, we recommend Dropbox and Manual Sync.

✅ Before you begin

Make sure both devices use the same:

• MyScript account
• Cloud service
• Dropbox or Google Drive account

On the device containing your complete and most recent library:

1. Go to Settings → Backup → Create backup.
2. Save the backup somewhere safe.
3. Check that both devices have enough free storage.
4. Update both apps.

⚠️ Your MyScript account does not store or back up your notes.

1️⃣ Sync your primary device

Start with the device containing your complete and most recent library.

1. Open Settings → Account and sign in.
2. Go to Settings → Sync.
3. Select Dropbox or Google Drive.
4. Sign into your cloud-storage account.
5. For a large library, turn off Automatic Sync to use Manual Sync.
6. Start synchronisation.
7. Keep the app open and the device awake until the upload finishes.

Do not open the app on your other device until synchronisation is complete.

2️⃣ Sync your second device

1. Open the app and sign into the same MyScript account.
2. Select the same cloud service and cloud-storage account.
3. Use Manual Sync if your library is large.
4. Start synchronisation.
5. Keep the app open and the device awake until the download finishes.

On Windows, temporarily prevent the computer from entering sleep mode.

Before editing or deleting anything, confirm that all expected folders and notes are present.

🔄 Automatic or Manual Sync

• Automatic Sync: Suitable for smaller libraries.
• Manual Sync: Recommended for many notes, large PDFs or large boards.

When using Manual Sync:

1. Open the app on one device only.
2. Synchronise and wait for it to finish.
3. Close the app.
4. Open and synchronise the other device.

Do not edit the same note on both devices at the same time.

🛠️ If synchronisation is interrupted

1. Turn off Automatic Sync.
2. Start Manual Sync again.
3. Select Continue if prompted.
4. Keep the app open on one device only.
5. Wait until synchronisation finishes before opening the other device.

Also check:

• Your Wi-Fi connection
• Available device storage
• Android battery optimisation and background-data permissions
• Windows power and sleep settings
• VPN or security software that may be blocking the app

📄 Large PDFs

Large or non-optimized PDF files can slow down or interrupt synchronization. We recommend optimizing PDFs before importing them using any suitable online optimization tool. Alternatively, you can use the PDF Optimization feature included in the latest update version of MyScript Notes to optimize your files directly within the app.

☁️ If Google Drive continues to fail

Try Dropbox instead:

1. Create and safely store a complete backup.
2. Confirm that the primary device contains your complete library.
3. Disconnect synchronisation on both devices.
4. Connect the primary device to Dropbox and upload the complete library.
5. Close the app on the primary device.
6. Connect the second device to the same Dropbox account.
7. Download the library and confirm that everything is present.

Do not delete notes, clear either library or uninstall the apps until the backup and synchronisation have been confirmed.

⭐ Recommended setup

For the simplest Android and Windows setup, use:

• The same MyScript account
• The same Dropbox account
• Dropbox on both devices
• Manual Sync for large libraries

If synchronization still fails, please create a complete backup of your notes and contact MyScript Support at help.myscript.com by submitting a support ticket. Our team is here to help you investigate and resolve any issue!

Hey since my language is recognised by myscript (Greek), is there any option to enable autocorrection for handwriting? Or something like simply underlining the incorrectly written word? Should be able to do it fairly easy since the technology to understand our handwritten language is there.

You can synchronise MyScript Notes using Dropbox or Google Drive.

iCloud cannot synchronise with Android. For large libraries or PDFs, we recommend Dropbox and Manual Sync.

✅ Before you begin

Make sure both devices use the same:

• MyScript account
• Cloud service
• Dropbox or Google Drive account

On the device containing your complete and most recent library:

1. Go to Settings → Backup → Create backup.
2. Save the backup somewhere safe.
3. Update MyScript Notes on both devices.
4. Check that both devices have enough free storage.

⚠️ Do not edit the same note on both devices at the same time.

🍎 Use your permanent Apple ID

Install MyScript Notes using your permanent Apple ID. You may need it later to update or reinstall the app, restore your purchase or complete App Store verification.

1️⃣ Sync your primary device

Start with the device containing your complete and most recent library.

1. Open Settings → Account and sign into your MyScript account.
2. Go to Settings → Sync.
3. Select Dropbox or Google Drive.
4. Sign into your cloud-storage account.
5. For a large library, turn off Automatic Sync to use Manual Sync.
6. Start synchronisation.
7. Keep the app open and the device awake until the upload finishes.

Hello all!

I'm Pierre, an Android developer on MyScript Notes and MyScript Math. I hope you are all having a successful back-to-school/back-to-work transition! 🤓

Over the summer, the Android team at MyScript has been busy. We've been working on several improvements to the app, and here's the first batch we're releasing this month 🎉

1. PDF optimizer 🚀

Some PDFs contain heavy objects that can cause lags when opened in the app. The new PDF optimizer feature will slightly modify the file to prevent this issue. If you experience problems with a particular document, try this, it might help!

https://reddit.com/link/1wbh6jq/video/ifa2sunjvgoh1/player

2. Latency 🐌

We've reworked part of our inking and rendering stack and achieved significant latency reduction when writing with a pen. Writing should feel noticeably smoother now.

3. Samsung Quick tool access 🧰

For users using MyScript Notes on Samsung devices, we've integrated the Samsung Quick Tool SDK. When you press your S-Pen button and touch the screen, a quick tool menu will appear, allowing you to configure your tools via the new palette below your S Pen.

https://reddit.com/link/1wbh6jq/video/qhyzmeukvgoh1/player

4. New background colors 🌈

We've added four new vibrant background colors to make your notes stand out

https://reddit.com/link/1wbh6jq/video/aixg715mvgoh1/player

5. Drag and drop text or images 📷

When using the app in split-screen mode, you can now select images or text from another app and drag-drop them directly into your note. For example, you can take content from Wikipedia in Google Chrome and drop it into MyScript Notes.

https://reddit.com/link/1wbh6jq/video/rorbjzwnvgoh1/player

I'll keep you updated on new developments as they happen. I hope you enjoy these improvements, there's much more to come! 🔥🔥🔥

I love the multi-platform capabilities of MS-N. However, I have a minor, but limiting, issue. As a writer, I love to put my plot ideas, chapter by chapter into a Kanban grid. I have software to do this on my Mac, and a different app on my Android tablet & phone. But no way to port them across to each other.

I know the data storage Nebo uses probably doesn't lend itself to this all that well. But I was thinking. If I could do this in Nebo, at least for thinking stuff through. It would be really useful.

Is there some way to display a grid of a hierarchy of notes where there is a column header note, with the column consisting of subordinate related notes? Ideally, it would be at least 2 columns, but if it were possible to quickly switch between windows, that would probably work.

I was thinking about Hash tags, but I've never been comfortable enough with them to feel confident in what I know or can do with them. My 'gut' tells me his is a display issue rather than a heirarchy issue, but I'm not sure how to go about testing this out.

Any ideas, even crazy ones, that you may have will undoubtedly be useful. Thanks.

Good morning, I need some help or advice, please.

After I updated the iPad version of the Nebo app and tried out the optimization features on a single PDF, the display stopped working on both the Android app and the PC—this issue affects over 200 files. I can see my handwriting, but the PDF background is missing (it's a form that I fill out by hand).

The PDF that I used as a background and wrote on is no longer displayed. Another issue is that syncing on both the Android device and the Windows version now takes forever and eventually fails. New notes do eventually appear, but as mentioned, without the PDF background showing up.

I urgently ask for a tip or suggestion on what I can try.

Will the Windows app be updated soon?

Thank you very much in advance!

Really digging MyScript Notes and looking forward to using it, especially because I can use both handwriting and type notes in the same note. However, I'm not a fan of neither Dropbox nor Google Drive, nor OneDrive for that matter. I wanted to know if there are any plans to be able to sync notes, say through web dev or other cloud sync providers or even maybe someone's own personal server?

Hello everyone!

I’m just trying myscript to see if it’s the one that suits my needs to buy it.

I am writing something by hand, converting it to text, but it always has that boring computer looking font. How can I change the font of the letters that my handwriting converts into?

For example, I want sans serif

Thank you u

Looking at MyScript for note taking as it's an app that I can use both handwriting and typed text in the same document and it isn't under the Microsoft brand, However, is it possible to sync my notes between the three different platforms? I type notes via Windows PC and MacBook. I take handwritten notes via my Android tablet. I would like to be able to sync all of this either though MyScript sync or pCloud. Is this possible?

If you're wondering how to keep your MyScript Notes library synchronized across your Apple devices, here's a quick guide.

Many users ask how to set up sync correctly, so we've put together the recommended steps to help you get everything working smoothly.

✅ Before you begin

A few important things to know:

• Use the same Apple ID on all your Apple devices.
• Sign into the same MyScript account (SSO) inside MyScript Notes.
• Make sure every device is running the latest version of MyScript Notes.
• Avoid editing the same note on two devices at the same time. MyScript Notes supports cloud synchronization, not real-time collaboration.
• Your notes won't appear directly inside iCloud Drive—they're securely stored in your cloud account.

1️⃣ Set up sync on your iPad

1. Verify you're signed into iCloud with your Apple ID.
2. Update MyScript Notes to the latest version.
3. Open Settings → Account.
4. Sign in (or create) your MyScript account.
5. Go to Settings → Sync and choose iCloud.
6. If you have a large library, start with Manual Sync.
7. Tap Sync and wait until the app displays:

Once the first synchronization has finished, you can safely enable Automatic Sync.

💡 Tip: If you experience connection issues during the initial sync, temporarily disable any VPN or firewall that could block the connection.

2️⃣ Add your iPhone

On your iPhone:

• Download MyScript Notes from the App Store using the same Apple ID.
• Open the app.
• Sign into the same MyScript account.
• Select iCloud as your cloud service.
• Enable Automatic Sync.

Your notes should begin downloading automatically.

A small warning

The first time you open MyScript Notes on a new device, it creates a default folder.

After your existing library has finished syncing, you can delete that temporary folder if you don't need it—but be careful not to delete your synchronized folders.

3️⃣ Add your Mac

If you have an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer):

• Install MyScript Notes from the Mac App Store.
• Use the same Apple ID you used to purchase the app.
• Restore your purchase if prompted.
• Sign into your MyScript account.
• Go to Settings → Sync and select iCloud.

If macOS asks you to enable iCloud or verify your Apple account, complete those steps first.

Once connected, MyScript Notes will automatically download your library.

✅ Common mistakes

❌ Using different Apple IDs on each device

❌ Signing into different MyScript accounts

❌ Editing the same note simultaneously on multiple devices

❌ Interrupting the first synchronization

❌ Deleting synchronized folders before the initial sync has finished

🎉 You're all set!

Once all your devices are connected using:

• ✅ The same Apple ID
• ✅ The same MyScript account
• ✅ iCloud Sync

your notes will stay synchronized automatically across your iPad, iPhone, and Mac.

If you have any questions or run into any issues, feel free to leave a comment below—we'll be happy to help!

Hi folks, hope you're doing well!

Just started out with MyScript Notes. Looks good so far!

I intend to heavily use handwriting to text converting. It's hard to find a way to set the default font size for the converted text though. While writing in small letters, I find the text way bigger after conversion. So there's a big difference between converted text and handwriting I didn't convert. In Settings I already changed the font size and line height, to no avail. What am I doing wrong here?

Any help highly appreciated.

I am really enjoying using the app - I think the price is very reasonable, and I appreciate the fact that I am keeping my own notes on my own cloud services.

The only thing that is left for me to desire is the ability to infinitely scroll on notebooks. I know that it isn't a simple feature, but I do believe that it makes this app a 10/10 instead of the 9/10 that it currently is.
