How to make digital handwritten notes on your laptop (using a pen tablet) with OneNote

- Hi :) this is a more detailed version of my previous video where I talked about how I make digital handwritten notes using OneNote. The tablet I use in the video:
Wacom One graphics tablet (small)*: amzn.to/38umgwA
The adapter I use*: amzn.to/35tARqa

A pen tablet is a cheaper alternative to buying a new iPad or any touch screen device - it still enables you to make digital notes. Its lightweight and easy to carry and I wish I started using my pen tablet for making notes sooner.
It can be tricky to get used to using a pen tablet to make written notes on your laptop, but in this video I share different tips on how to make this process easier.
Prior to using the Wacom One tablet, I used the Wacom Intuos small pen tablet for about 6 years. The tablet still works fine but I decided to switch because I was having issues with my cable and the tablet itself was getting a bit worn out (due to neglect on my part to be fair). I initially purchased this to create digital art but ended up using this a lot during A levels to do past papers on my laptop.
Fast forward to now, I use my graphics tablet regularly to make handwritten digital notes - it wasn't always like this though. I started off making typed notes at the start of my degree but I didn't really enjoy doing that. So I spent a lot of time handwriting my notes. However, as the years went by I found that I was just stacking up a lot of paper notes that were difficult to navigate. For example if I wanted to search my notes for Marfans syndrome, it would take me ages to find out bits I had written about it from all of my years of studying. For a while I contemplated buying an iPad Pro and apple pencil to make my notes since I really enjoy making digital art too. But it was just waaaay too expensive for me to justify buying at this point in my life as a student, so I carried on making traditional handwritten notes.
Then I rediscovered my Wacom Tablet and started making digital notes. Now everything is so much easier to find, I can write as much as I want and I don't have to worry about carrying all of my notes to the library to revise a certain module. Everything is on my laptop. Even better - I can access everything on any device as long as they are connected to the internet. If you're a medical student or any type of student, you will probably find this to be a useful alternative to buying an iPad. You can connect a wacom tablet to whatever device/laptop you're working with - you don't need anything fancy.
APPS I USE:
1. OneNote (FREE) - very easy to use, you can write typed/handwritten notes. You can add tags to info, search up things easily and add pdf's. You can structure your notes really well. You can share your notes with others. You can access your notes online on any device. And it's FREE.
2. Notability - you can edit pdf documents very easily. If you're an A-level or GCSE student you might find this app useful to do lots of past papers. You can organise your past papers into folders and write your answers of this pdf. You can then export them as PDF again to share with others. It costs £1.99 I believe, which for me isn't too bad considering I have used it a lot.
3. Microsoft PowerPoint/Word - you can use pen tools on these applications. Just click on the draw tab.
4. Autodesk (FREE) - the app I use for drawing but also for making the animations/handwriting for these videos. It's a really good free app for digital art and drawing. You have plenty of brush/pen options and can control the settings on them to customise the tool. If you like drawing, you might enjoy doodling on there and copying/pasting your drawings onto one note.
I use a USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter to connect my wacom tablet to my laptop.

your welcome :D
thanks mate
lifesaver!
Nice! I used to always use that shortcut until I found out you can change the PrtSc button to do that action. It's in the Snip & Sketch program, first option in Settings.
THANK YOU
@@Ri-Ci OMG you can do that?! Imma try to fix that and just use that cuz I sometimes miss the keys and I wasted 5 seconds wondering why it didn't activate the program lmao XD
I have been looking for this kind of content for weeks now. Everyone's just using ipads and as much as it's convenient not everyone can afford it if you want to do digital note taking
Preach
Specially for the pencil ugh it’s so expensive.
Especially if you need a laptop like for engineering we need one for CAD and coding
@@sophiel9687 yeah but I like to handwrite it because handwriting something engages my brain with the content, I don't just do it for aesthetic
@@geministargazer9830 yeah same. I can remember info a lot easier when I write them
Finally your the first person to actually use the wacom tablet for notetaking succesfully !! I almost gave up, I already put it back in the box lol.
Keep going with it!!! hope it works out for you :)
same 😭
why do you giving up??
@@divashaula7283 I'm working on a chromebook installing software without a Linux distro to assign functions to a button is really difficult. Also Onenote doesn't create fluid lines while writing some other note apps do though
First day i put wacom back but now i use my own handwriting 👍🏻
thank god I found this video, almost spent $1k+ on an iPad Pro just for notes
Use a notebook it's so much better especially if you've math courses or stuff to solve it's not a good experience to write on iPad I've the iPad pro
best believe im saving this vid to rewatch when im going to uni
aww loool😂💗 hope it helps hehe best of luck for uni xx
Actually I prefer this since I do not have to sacrifice my posture. I just have to look at the screen while writing. I do not have to curve my posture looking down.
Omg finally I found someone who's using graphic tablet! I've been using it for several months bc I'm too broke for iPad :') but there are many things that are still unfamiliar to me, esp OneNote, so your video is really helpful! Thank you and all the best for your studies and channel! :)
thank you so much! All the best with your studies :)
After writing about 1500 pages of notes in notebooks, I'm glad I'm finally making the switch to digital notes.
Thank you for the tutorial, it is great!
After 22 years i live in this planet. This is the most useful video i've found on TH-cam. I love you... Thank you
Gorgeous production. And, very useful information of course. Just re-started using one note and was looking for a basic guide. Actually this was far more information than I expected, beyond my basic needs. It'll be useful to come back to this as I get familiar with the program. Thank you.
I'm a medtech student on a budget and I really want to try digital note taking. However, ipads and apple pencil are very expensive for me and out of all the videos/reviews I have watched, your videos are the one that convinced me the most! My pen tablet will be arriving in 2 days! I can't wait to be productive!!! Thank you so much for a very informative and helpful video! Subscribed :D
edit: I'm using now my pen as I write this edit.
how was your experience so far?
i'm in the same boat as you were then
Hello. Just to check out, if you are still using the tablets for notes. I am too in a similar situation and I require extensive note taking
There is no option for eraser there in pen button section, how did she do that?
R u alive
@@sehandevadi5503 You still want help?
This is AMAZING! What a game changer for me since i was interested in getting started with digital notes but i was getting hesitant whether i should get an ipad but THIS! My brother has a pen tablet since he's into digital art i might get one myself since it'll save a lot of money! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! You deserve wayyy more subscribers!
I didn’t even know about onenote and it has apparently always just been there on my laptop.. this video just saved my life!!
Lmao XDDD
Hi please help me to get online tution in your country in subject like physics and mathematics.
@@mukulsrivastava8679 don't you have money ??
This was so helpful! I was frustrated using OneNote with my Wacom initially and gave up, but you gave a lot of helpful pointers. Thank you so much! ☺️
You're welcome! thank you so much for watching :)
what was frustrating about it?
@@Adnan-me4uq I’m a year late but I think a lot of people don’t know how to find the grid/guide and try to freehand it which is super difficult especially when starting out
@@sonic3817what grid guide
Seeing your video encourage me so much. I want to take note digitally and buy a pen tablet. But it's so hard because my handwriting is ugly to begin with and taking it with pen tablet making it worse. And I didn't familiar with OneNote. So I shove it back to my drawer and never use it anymore. Now I see your video really make me want to take it out and start over. 💛
THANK YOU SO MUCH ive been blind to onenote and my wacom tablet for the past 5 months of my life
This is the video i've been looking for from the past few weeks. Thank you! 😇
Thank you Dr. Shiv🙂 This is exactly what I need for massage therapy courses! I only wish all of my professors sounded so calming and Zen as you do 🙏🏽😊
Yes finally someone made this with a tablet !!❤️ thank you
Your actually amazing like I feel blessed that I found your youtube channel. I have worried about buying an iPad for university, but know that I have found out about this graphics tablet I can put my limited budget to better use.
Thank you so much ✨❤️❤️
Great video. I can't believe I haven't discovered digital note-taking sooner. This has given me a lot of insight into how to go about doing so.
such a gourgeuos video to watch, I'm impressed with the details and the edition! amazing work, gourgeous handwriting, congratulations ❤
You are sooo underrated! The quality of this video is top notch 💜 alsoooo, I never knew you could do these in one note
thank you sooo much and thank you for watching❤️ it's honestly so useful!
Thank you tons🙏 .. i'm an aspiring CA student currently pursuing my B.com through distance education and paper & pen notes were not all intersenting to study , typed notes are pain. was googling ways to make digital notes .. found ur awesome video🥰.. this a total budget friendly idea .. You inspired me to buy a digital tablet.. Bought XP G960 Plus two days back.. Trust me i started writing from day one & my notes look exactly like handwritten but are beautiful .. Though i was skeptic in the beginning of writing without looking.. The idea of how i use the mouse without looking has made me a pro in two days .. You are a life saviour to all who cannot afford exepensive tablets for digital notetaking🤩👌
Hello. I am in the same situation, and due to time constraint, I am not able to make paper notes and navigate through them. Wanted to know how has been your experience so far?
I am a CA... firstly all the best, i am looking over this for teaching
Such neat and interesting notes you make, above all what a presentation on youtube. 10/10.
Please keep posting more such videos.
You just saved my 1400 dollar
so glad to hear 😌 hope it helps :)
Lmao u can get an iPad 2018 with Apple Pencil 1 st gem for around £400 (refurbished)
@@user-jt8db8gk9b the pen tab only cost 50 dollars..
I feel you 😂 I got the same problem
@Its Ri Actually here in India a few microsoft laptops such as my own cost cheaper then an iPad, so laptop is a better choice for me
Just love the manner in which you explain all these useful tips! Thanks a lot for helping out noob folks like me :)
Thank you for this I bought a graphics tablet about a month ago for this purpose but I haven’t been able to use it it’s difficult to write and position it but now I see that you’re zooming in thank you so much !!!

Thank you so much 🥺🥺 says you!
Great video - informative, succinct and covers important functionality. It was very helpful to me, thanks.
I wish your videos had existed when I was in the market for a tablet. I bought the same tablet as yours after quite a lot of research, but I couldn't use it like you do (I never really put in the time to get better at it and I was kind of disheartened by the mechanics of the whole process and my handwriting on it). Now, almost 6 months later, I found this video by chance and it has given me all the hope I needed to try again. ❤️
Did you get better at it ? I’m also the kind of guy who gets disheartened easily.
@@raulvelez2827 I didn't, because honestly, I never tried again. I just couldn't bring myself to take it out of the box. I don't think I'll ever be able to face it. I know this sounds bleak, but don't let it throw you off. Keep trying.
Getting my wacom one tmrw, Yay!! Thank you for the tutorial 😊
watched the video yesterday, went and bought my wacom today and really love it after using it for an hour
looking forward to more videos ☺️
Hi! May I know if the Wacom tablet has palm rejection and if your writing on the tablet is smooth on the laptop?
i'm getting my wacom tablet in a few days and im so excited to try this out! currently in my freshman year of undergrad
I LOVE THIS, IS REALLY GORGEOUS!!!
Absolutely fantastic video. Thank you for making this.
Wow! I think I just saved money on an iPad and apple pencil/stylus that I never had!
Thanks so much, this is a great and versatile option!
My school is starting next week and i would definitely take notes like you do 😍 loved the vid
This was so helpful!
So glad that I found your video, it'll be so much helpful for me. Many thankssssss ❤️❤️❤️
Omg this video is a life saver🥺🥺❤️❤️✨✨

What a wonderfully-presented video. 😀
I was initially thinking of getting a samsung or ipad tablet or e-ink tablet but this idea just popped into my head. I was afraid this won't be as practical, but seeing you make notes removes that doubt.
this is what i've been looking for! Ty
That is some high level content ! I was surprised to see that you have only 43 subscribers :p. Keep making videos as you are very good at it. Your channel will definitely grow fast. Good luck.
