How to Take Notes on an iPad With a Pen Stylus
Download a note-taking app from the App Store and allow it to install on your iPad, if you have not done so already.
Read the in-app instructions to find out how to move around between pages without affecting your handwritten notes. For example, normal swipe gestures for scrolling may be taken as pen input when you are in handwriting mode, so you may need to use two-finger swipes or other gestures to navigate.
Read any other in-app instructions that describe your app's handwriting input functions.
Locate the app's 'wrist guard,' 'palm pad' or similar feature. This is a feature that lets the iPad respond to your stylus input while ignoring the pressure of the side of your hand resting on the page as you write in a natural position. Turn the feature on or position it as necessary, depending on your app's internal instructions.
Hold your stylus as you would a normal pen or pencil and rest your hand on the wrist guard/palm pad area if one is specified. Only iPad-specific styluses may work on the iPad. If you have a stylus for certain smartphones with reactive rather than capacitive touchscreens, those styluses will not work for the iPad.
Write your notes as you normally would with a pen. Some apps have a handwriting input panel that allows you to write in large strokes, and then shrinks the notes to a more compact, readable form. Try using that feature for the clearest handwriting results if your app supports it.
