SpeedText App Reviews

This is a quick and simple way to take notes. The program opens quickly, you can begin taking notes immediately. There is plenty of writing space - you write one word at a time, but you can easily write lengthy paragraphs. This is a 3.5 star app which performs as advertised.

Despite the s___-storm of one-star reviews, I paid my two bucks and tried this app. It works -- fast input, great place to scribble a phone number, email address, quick note. You wont write a great novel with this, but thats not what its for.

Dont be put off by negative reviews. This app eliminates theneed for all those little, but often critical, paper notes we take every day. Here is a simple, intuitive, and easy way to take and retrieve notes. The 1.3 upgrade completed the app with a very effective review and retrieval function. Unfortunately this has not been included in the screen images. This is well worth the $2 investment.

Amateur app, unusable.

This one is GREAT. Finally a developer who appears to understand what users need, and knows how to execute. This has so many elegant solutions to so many vexing problems that we who just want to jot a quick note have been dealing with. Even Cut/Paste works with this app. Very impressive.

I _really_ like this update. It is, nearly, what Id like as an ink note supplement for Evernote. You can input your Evernote credentials, and then you can very easily and quickly export a highly legible version of your SpeedText ink note into Evernote, which looks lovely in Evernote (and, I think, can be parsed by Evernote so you can search your fulltext--though Evernote does a terrible job with my scrawly handwriting). Its interface is nicer, IMHO, than TanzakuPad, and its exported text is much more legible (again for me) than the text from Dan Bricklins (very innovative and very nice) Note Taker or TanzakuPad. However, there seems to be a bug with the scrolling, at least on my iPod Touch 3.x: sometimes Ill seem to reach the end of the "pad," and just grey space will show below the input pad. If I continue to enter text and export the image, that text shows up on the exported image (but not on the SpeedText screen). This happens at various lengths of "pad," and its not quite clear to me whats happening. On the plus side, you dont lose any text with this bug. On the down side, though, it is distracting to try to enter text "blind." Overall, though, in my view, if you like to take ink notes and use Evernote, you really should give this program a try. It is the best of the bunch right now, IMHO.

Fewer features than programs like FastFinga but easier to use and more elegant. Better ink quality. The list view is legible. Could use pinch-to-zoom and more ink colors, and itd be perfect.

Pretty nice for quick note - would love option to send via MMS...

In my office, I take constant notes, which can stack up on my desk making it hard to find what I need. And there are plenty of times where work calls me out of my office, and instead of dragging a stack of notes around, I have it all organized. I bought a stylus for my iphone a long time ago (which I recommend doing) so i dont have that problem with the lack of room to write. But I will say that it makes your handwriting look a little shotty, but not so bad to where you cant read it...unless you cant read your own handwriting to begin with. Overall, Im impressed. I look forward to seeing more updates.

I was using it right after I downloaded the app. The portrait mode is very helpful. But the program is lacking in documentation. Still trying to figure out how to jump from page to page. This is going to be real useful with the mail feature to send to Evernote.

I use this app all the time to take notes. Very smooth interface. You can customize the height of writing area, space between words, wait time, etc. In order to change settings, tap the square with an arrow at the bottom left corner of the screen. Select settings. It is not that regular wheel icon. So some people might not have noticed it.
