Compressing and enhancing hand-written notes (2016)
Great job with that.  I&#x27;ve only just started taking notes by hand once again, after being keyboard-only for many years.<p>In your scenario, since you have assigned &quot;scribes&quot; taking the notes, you might be able to streamline the process with a &quot;smart pen.&quot;<p>There are several on the market.  The one I got as a hand-me-down from a family member lets you write dozens of pages of notes, then Bluetooth them to a smartphone app that exports to PDF, Box, Google Drive, etc...  Or it can actually copy the notes to the app in real time.  Combined with a projector, this might be useful for the other students during class.<p>It&#x27;s supposed to be able to OCR the notes, too, but I haven&#x27;t bothered to figure out how.  But there&#x27;s a cool little envelope icon in the corner of each notebook page that if you put a checkmark on, it will automatically e-mail the page to a pre-designated address.<p>Again, there are several models on the market.  Mine retails for about $100.  Notebooks come in about 15 different sizes and cost about the same as a regular quality notebook.<p>Just some thoughts.
