(For over a thousand dollars more ..) I COULD always take images of the handwritten pages below and add each sequence as a note in Evernote .. but that is just a bit too much work for me. (Although I do love the way Evernote indexes handwriting and makes fulltext-searchable&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p>Has anyone tried the iPadPro\/Apple Pencil combo? Something like below?
