LIVESCRIBE DESKTOP EXPORT PROBLEM HOW TO

It is just as easy to export them as txt, and then simply drag them into Tinderbox. It is easy to transfer whole folders of notes right into Devonthink and Scrivener (as rtf).

The export functions are phenomenal, and very easy to use. Which means that the application has to be able to export notes easily to my three other favorite applications. In short, what I need is a place that can be a kind of pre-project repository of notes. Scrivener is absolutely essential when it comes to drafting papers, but it is not suited to be just a ragbag repository of notes before one gets to the writing stage. (I find that I can’t tag or group such notes appropriately because they are still at a pre-project stage.) And while Tinderbox is great for thinking, it is not a good place for just keeping inchoate notes. I find that putting them in Devonthink directly means that they often drown among all the other data I have there. The problem is that I don’t actually know what I’ll use them all for (yet). Right now I have a whole stack of handwritten notes I need to go through. I also, of course, sometimes take notes directly on the computer. But if I am serious about my notes, at some point I have to go over them, and transfer the essential points from paper to computer. I love taking notes by hand, away from my computer, and always have a paper notebook and a fountain pen with me. (So my note-taking needs are mostly academic and research related.) Notes that I take on interesting books or films or experiences that may come in handy for academic work later, but which are at a stage where it’s too early to decide exactly what I am doing with them. My problem came from the fact that I have a lot of “pre-project notes”.
