Forget drawing: Want to take notes on your iPad or annotate
documents with the Apple Pencil? Here's what you need.
If you're an artist looking at Apple's new tablets, an iPad Pro and a Pencil are
no-brainers. But even if your idea of a good time isn't editing a photo or
drawing a cartoon, the Apple Pencil can still be a brilliant tool for
handwriting, annotation, and even making your own handwritten fonts.
For starting out: Whink
If you want to explore what your Apple Pencil can do on your
iPad Pro when it comes to writing, shape-drawing, and annotation, Whink is a
beautifully-made app
for doing so. Though you can create dozens of
notebooks, the app features just three modes within those digital books for
your working pleasure: Write, Type, and Read.
Writing lets you sketch or take notes using Whink's .3mm,
.7mm, or 1.2mm "gel pen" tool, in a number of different color
palettes. You can create custom colors by double-tapping on a swatch, but as
with Paper,
Whink encourages using the complimentary palettes.
You can highlight or draw shapes that automatically conform
to their geometric origins within Write mode. Also available are a half-page
zoom feature to enlarge text, a select and move option, and an Add tool that
lets you drop in new sections, pages, photos, text, tags, or audio clips.
Type lets you choose from pre-designed "Text
Palettes," which collect a specific title, header, body, and subtitle font
and color to properly complement the drawings on your page. As with the color
palettes, you can double tap on any selection to manually choose a font and
color, but Whink encourages you to avoid tinkering too much: It wants to make
taking notes and creating digital notebooks as easy as possible.
The Search option will find any tags or typed text, but
unlike some other apps
, won't recognize handwritten words.
If you want to experiment with digital note-taking, Whink
may not have every single customizeable feature, but it's perfect for taking
that first step.
