Remarkable paper pro features
I have had the device a few days now, I am very happy with the hardware, its a responsive solidly built device with an excellent colour display. I am not happy at all with the software. I would ideally like to see the following please:
- Ability to connect to wifi that requires a login via a web page (Such an obvious very important oversight by the devs)
- Ability to type special characters such as Greek letters, subscripts and superscripts (I have the keyboard folio and work in a scientific field, super important)
- Linux support for screen sharing via the desktop app or at least a version on Snap that works or at least making it work with wine (more niche but important to linux users, could not get it working at all).
- Equation conversion in handwriting recognition (a bit like mathpix, not super important but would be a nice to have, especially for engineers or scientists).
- Text manipulation should act more like a text box rather than typing in a word document, I want to be able to freely manipulate the position of typed text, it currently feels like moving lines of text in a word document (this is important, especially for just jotting down thoughts, making flow charts, etc).
- The ability to draw and manipulate very basic shapes (less important, but a nice to have).
- The ability to correctly import annotations made on a competitor device. I had a load of annotated PDFs on my previous device (a Fujitsu Quaderno), I either have to flatten the pdf, or simply loose the annotations, both options are infuriating.
- The ability to step into and edit the background layer. I want to be able to grab stuff in the background layer and move it around freely (and the text layer as noted above).
- The ability to display two documents side by side so I can read one and take notes on another page without having to constantly flick back and forth
I really hope at least some of these changes are made, it would make the experience a lot more pleasant. I was actually contemplating returning the device, because although I am happy with the hardware the software in its current form is severely lacking.
