Tilt pencil

Brush

Quick Sheets
We wanted to create a space where you can quickly make notes or sketch out an
idea. Quick sheets is your place for this.
Remove dated content by deleting a page or using the erase all tool.
Adjust the toolbar menu
The toolbar menu exists in three states tailored to different scenarios
whether it is reading in full-screen mode or sketching with all tools
available.
Files will open in the same state you left them.
- The full toolbar presents all available tools.
- The minimized toolbar offers a limited number of tools depending on the type of file.
- Full-screen mode allows you to hide the toolbar for full focus. Simply tap the same button to show the toolbar again.
Templates
Templates are preset formats to be used as an aid when writing or drawing in
your notebooks. Choose between standard blank, lined or grid sheets, or try
out the weekly plan, note sheet or checklist template. All templates are
available in portrait (P) and landscape (LS) view.
Select a template
- Open a notebook.
- Tap the three dots menu and tap Settings.
- Use your finger or the marker to browse through the templates. Tap on a template to select a template for your notebook.
- Tap Save to set the template to your page.
You can set different templates to different pages in a Notebook.

pages within this notebook. To remove a template, simply choose the blank
template.
The template overview shows your last used templates for quicker
implementation, or you can tap View all templates to see all the templates in
a categorized overview.
Handwriting conversion
We are proud and excited to announce that the conversion of handwriting to
typed text is now available on your reMarkable paper tablet. This is our first
step into this magic functionality, one that we will continue to improve in
the coming releases.
There are three important things you need to know:
-
We only convert handwritten notes in Notebooks at the moment,
not in PDFs or Ebooks. -
You need to be connected to a WiFi network and logged in to a remarkable account. The conversion takes place in the cloud (only takes a few seconds) so you need to be connected to do so. If you don’t already have one, you can create a remarkable account here: my.remarkable.com.
-
In this first version, you can edit and share your converted notes via email
(see below) but they will not be stored on the device. More functionality will be coming in the future so you can do more with your typed notes.
How to convert your notes to typed text:
When you tap the Convert to text button your handwritten notes are sent to the
cloud, where a well-trained AI interprets and converts each letter, word and
sentence into standardized typed text.
You will then be shown the converted notes so you can edit and share them via
email.
It’s also worth noting that writing at an angle or non-horizontally won’t
work, nor do symbols (such as mathematical symbols and diagrams) but several
forms of bullet points are recognized…and some smiley faces too.
Convert in your language
For the best results you can specify which language your notes are written in
through the Settings page. We currently support
33 languages. To specify your language, go to the Settings page where you will
find the language selection option in the Hand-writing Conversion Settings
page.
Convert multiple pages at once
If you want to convert more than one page at a time, you can do this by
tapping the Select pages button on the top right corner of the Action bar when
your first page of conversion is done. You can also select multiple pages in
the Page overview and tap the Convert to text button to make a conversion.
How to Edit your notes before sharing them:
Once your handwritten notes are converted to typed text they are now in a form
where you can easily edit and share them with others. If you edit this text,
your handwritten notes are not affected. To edit the text – simply tap the
word or letter you want to edit and then use the keyboard to make the changes
you want before sharing.
How to share your converted notes:
Once you’re satisfied with your newly converted notes you can share them by
email to others or just to yourself! In the top menu bar, you will see the
Share button which you may have used previously in your reMarkable. This will
take you to the email-sharing feature where you can input the recipient.
At this time the converted text document will be sent as the body text in the
email itself
(rather than as an attachment) so it’s easy to take the text from the email
and paste it if needed elsewhere. We will look at expanding the email
capabilities in the future.
