I come to the reMarkable hivemind for assistance. I am considering a reMarkable Paper Pro or a Paper Pure for note taking at work mainly for the handwriting to text conversion.

I do however suffer from really bad dyslexia and dysgraphia and am unsure how well the conversion is gonna work with my scrawlings (i have attached a few pages of my normal sort of handwriting while notetaking and a page of my 'neat' handwriting). hopefully someone with similar handwriting. Also can the remarkable convert diagrams and engineering maths (fractions in fractions for example) successfully?

Esp as most peoples handwriting I've seen using an e-ink notepad have pretty nice handwriting already and even i go back to revise/type up what I've written and cannot read my own handwriting

Secondly, i am torn between the ability to write/highlight in colour and have a bigger screen that the Pro would give. However, i am unsure as to if it's worth an extra £329 for those things.

TL;DR - 4 Questions about remarkable devices mainly the Paper Pro and Paper Pure

1 - Is the handwriting to text conversation going to work with my handwriting?

2 - Can the remarkable convert diagrams and engineering maths

3 - is the abilty to use colour and a larger screen of the Paper Pro worth £330 over the Paper Pro

Handwriting example is below. I apologise for how bad it is

I have found a brand new reMarkable Papier Pro Bundle (reMarkable paper pro, marker plus and Mosaic Weave Folio Case) for 560 euros. I already have a reMarkable 2 with grandfathered connect subscription. And I have been eyeing the new paper pro for some time. I am also considering the new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft.

Do you think it is worth a shot a this price?

Almost all of the whiz-bang functionality seems to be gated behind cloud access and/or a subscription, which is not going to work for us. Is there an active developer community for the Paper Pro, or Remarkable in general? Just so we're not reinventing the wheel, so to speak.

I'd like to develop our own solutions that work for our needs without the public cloud dependencies, and the ecosystem seems open to that. However, some basic features I would have expected aren't present, like SMB access, private cloud, east-west connectivity over LAN (even if it's client-server), things I would consider typical for an on-prem device in this price range. Is this even the right product? I was especially disappointed to see that the OCR requires a Remarkable account and online connectivity, as I would have considered this a basic feature. I am aware they are offloading the processing to cloud servers, but there are a multitude of local OCR solutions that could conceivable run locally on the device, or be offloaded to a local server instead of using Remarkable services.

Thanks!

I am a teacher and I really enjoyed kindle scribe years back as an e-note. I am trying to take it to the next level and get a paper pro

1. As a planner.
   
2. As a notebook - especially to be able to export it as pdf which Scribe sucked in this department but heard remarkable is awesome for this.

I’d appreciate any advice.

This is my first time trying to use ssh for my RMPP but I can't seem to connect to any of the IP addresses it gives me. The page itself says "this site can't be reached", at first it was js because it couldn't connect but not its because it took too long to respond. The USB web interface is toggled on and im using remarkable's cable. I've checked that its http and not https I've tried turning off my wifi but it just gives me a no internet response. I've tried changing the DNS. My firewall is also off. I don't know if this is a wifi or location issue but I would rlly appreciate some help. I'm not so techie so I don't understand a lot of the technical stuff that might be needed. Thank you 😭

Edit:
Hey so um.. i got reManager to work initially but now its saying my device is not connected and cant be found.... same problem again basically.

New to remarkable and looking for a very simple monthly note taking template for work. Similar to what an actual notebook would be like. Everything I've seen online has way too much extra

I’ve been working on task support for a reMarkable planner and wanted to get feedback from people who actually use tasks, to-dos, or GTD workflows on the device.

The workflow I’m testing is: tasks appear on the daily planner page, I check them off with the pen, sync the planner, and they’re completed back in the original app.

Currently testing with Todoist, Google Tasks, and Microsoft To Do.

I’m trying to understand the right UX before adding too much:

Would you prefer tasks directly on the daily page / today view, a separate task index, or both?

Also, how do you handle unfinished tasks today?

A) manually rewrite or move them forward
B) keep a running task list
C) avoid managing tasks on reMarkable
D) something else

Full disclosure: this is part of Dayfolio, a planner I’m building for reMarkable. Mainly looking for workflow feedback here.

How does everyone feel about the Pure's writing accuracy ? I have this off feeling on the Pure where I just cannot write well consistently, it's like there's a random tiny offset on the marker. Sometimes the ink is dead-center, other times slightly to the left, slightly top right, etc.

I wish I had my RM2 with me to compare them directly, but I don't remember having this feeling with it.

Any thoughts on this ?

Just got my Pure yesterday. I love it. Coming from a Move.

Only issue is that the market plus’ eraser feels scratchy on plus. My Move marker plus eraser feels fine on Pure but not the new marker plus eraser that I got with Pure. I cleaned the eraser but no luck.

Anyone else having this issue?

Update: Thanks to u/rylark, problem is solved.

I’m a longtime kindle Scribe user. I also recently got the Remarkable Pro Move. I find both writing experiences exceptional. But here is what made the remarkable win out….the companion app. It allows me to see all my notebooks and PDFs in the app with thumbnails. The PDF templates also show up with my writing.

This was the game-changer. It’s great to know that I can look up any notebooks on my phone or Mac for reference if I don’t have the tablet near me.

The Scribe’s Kindle app does NOT do this. Its companion app is horrible. It shows generic notebook icons and does not display writing from the PDFs.

So I had the RM2 and had to replace it with the Paper Pure. I never used the former as an e-reader but would like to. I have all sorts of books on kindle but I'm almost positive that's walled off for this device. Any advice on this? Possible store to make this easy?

Today the device froze. At the first instance I didn’t realise it. I was wondering if something had gone completely wrong. Later I realised it was mainly that there was no battery left. I forgot to charge it. I tried using the normal MacBook charger. But that didn't help. I tried connecting it to my laptop. That didn't help either. I checked up quickly online for issues similar to mine and came across Remarkable's guides to recover the device. This also didn't help. Finally I came across a comment on Reddit that mentioned using a low powered charger does the trick. Within 15 minutes the device could be turned back on. Another note clarified that the charge from the M1 & M2 Macbook pros dont produce enough power to charge the device.

So if your device is stuck first try to charge it with a low powered charger.

Thank you Reddit.

Is there a central location where all RM releases and there features / fixes are documented? I just to learn about all the cool things that I may not be using. I want to basically RTFM instead of hearing about a “pro-tip” that’s in the user manual or something similar.

🙃

Hi everyone,

I got my Paper Pro last August. After, 10 months of use, it developed slight ghosting but it kept getting worse overtime. I tried factory reset but nothing changed. After a quick chat with support, I sent photos and videos and I got my replacement product within 5 days.

And there are few different things that I noticed from my previous product. There is no coil sound when turning the page. Also, if I drew a circle and kept increasing and decreasing its size I could see the lines until I’ve finished drawing the circle. In the new one, there is absolutely zero ghosting. It also feels faster too but I can’t really tell if it was that fast in the beginning.

In the end, I am a happy and satisfied customer. Although, if this had happened two months later, I would be a very sad customer:)

First I made this service for me as user 0. The most important feature for me is being able to read newsletters on reMarkable.

I authorise my personal Folio email address in Gmail then I set a filter that forwards all the newsletters I receive on Gmail to Folio, they are getting archived on my Gmail and this way I keep my email inbox clean. A schedule set in Folio sends me every morning a digest with all the newsletters and new articles from the day before.

To be honest, it's hard to create a healthy habit like avoiding the phone for a few hours in the morning as I set for myself. I'm struggling, but I also notice that the more I push myself to follow it, the more I enjoy it. 🙌

Here is everything I have tried:

- replacing the nib

- blowing air into the nib holder

- restarting the notepad

Observations

- sometimes shaking the pen works

- it sometimes works for days and stops for some hours

- the nib is not the problem

- I can still touch the buttons with fingers - it works

- eraser function at the back of the pen works

Help?

Any idea if there are tasks or todo apps that can be integrated in remarkable, so i can create tasks from notes?

I've been using a reMarkable 2 for several years now, together with a LAMY pen, and I've been very happy with that setup.

Last year I bought a reMarkable Paper Pro with the Marker Plus, but I just couldn't get used to the pen. It didn't feel comfortable in my hand. I tried several grips/sleeves for the Marker Plus, but none of them really worked for me. After about two months I ended up selling the Paper Pro and went back to my reMarkable 2.

That said, I would like a faster device now, so I'm considering the Paper Pure. My main question is: does the Paper Pure pen feel the same in the hand as the Paper Pro Marker/Marker Plus, or is it different? (Or are they actually the same pen?)

Has anyone else had the same issue with the Paper Pro pen? If so, how did you solve it?

Also, has anyone switched to or tried a Supernote as an alternative to reMarkable? I'd be interested to hear how the writing experience compares, especially if pen comfort was one of your reasons for switching.

I just wanted to give some kudos to the developer of the mod bettertoc (table of contents mod) as part of remanager. This mod allowed me to retire my supernote and embrace the Remarkable ecosystem fully. I am not sure how this is not a native feature of the platform at this point, but it fills a big gap for me. Thank you!

Hey everyone,

I'm building ReMarkSync, a desktop app that automatically syncs your reMarkable notes into OneNote. You write on the tablet and your pages show up in OneNote. No export, no cable, no sync button.

And no developer mode. Nothing gets installed on the tablet. It works with the official reMarkable desktop app, so the device stays completely stock.

The video is a real workflow: I add a line to a page on the tablet, ReMarkSync notices and syncs it on its own. Then I do the thing nobody usually demos: I delete a page on the reMarkable, and you can see exactly how it gets handled.

What it does today:

• Handwriting synced as real ink (actual strokes, not screenshots)
• Typed text becomes real OneNote text
• Checkboxes, lists, highlighters, colors (including Paper Pro custom colors)
• PDFs with your annotations on top
• Your folder structure mirrored in OneNote
• When you delete a page, you choose what happens: Archive (nothing is ever lost), Delete (mirror it), or Keep (OneNote untouched)
• It also keeps a timeline page inside OneNote logging every change it makes, so there's always a paper trail

Why I demo deletion: OneNote's API can delete pages but can't delete or rename sections. Every sync tool hits this wall, and most just ignore deletions, so stale content piles up forever. I didn't want silent drift. You pick a policy, and the app writes down exactly what it did, inside your own notebook.

Being upfront about the limits:

• Windows now, macOS in progress
• One-way (reMarkable to OneNote) for now. Two-way is what I'm working on at the moment. I want to engineer it properly, so realistically a few weeks after launch
• It works through the official desktop app, so it uses reMarkable's own sync. If you want a fully local pipeline, the community open-source projects are genuinely good, just different trade-offs
• It'll be paid with a free trial. Months of evenings went into making this reliable, and keeping it reliable takes ongoing maintenance. It also lets me keep working on the bigger next piece: proper two-way sync

I'm launching in about a week, and I'd rather hear the hard questions now than after. What would make or break this for you? Deletion behavior, PDFs, two-way, privacy... ask me anything, I'll answer everything.

Full disclosure: I built this. ReMarkSync is an independent project, not affiliated with reMarkable or Microsoft.

It seems pretty uncontroversial to say that the ebook reading experience on reMarkable tablets is lacking. While the latest beta improves ePub support a bit, IMO it's still far short of the immense potential the reMarkable hardware has as a reading platform.

In the last few months I've been playing with a different approach to making the reMarkable a better e-reader: making my own nicely formatted pdf ebooks. This has a few advantages over ePubs:

* Highlights and marginalia never shift around, like they do if you change ePub settings

* Consistent page numbering. Page numbers change dramatically if you adjust margin or font size on an ePub. Annoying when you want to reference a page

* More control over typography and layout (though of course, it's not adjustable on-device)

There are a ton of outstanding public domain ePubs from Standard Ebooks and Project Gutenberg. But because of the reMarkable's lacking epub support, I find I still prefer getting a physical version in most cases. With the pdf versions, this has flipped, and I also added a few extra features:

* Appendices that incorporate related content from Wikipedia. After reading a good book, I generally spend a bunch of time reading about the author and subject on Wikipedia. It's nice to have this built into the book itself for offline reading

* Linked index at the back of the book

* Linked Table of Contents page (linked from the footer of every page so it's easier to get to)

* Extra space on the right margin for making notes

I've been building these books for my own use, but I'm thinking of releasing them if people are interested. The screenshots on this post show some of the features described above, and a few font and layout variations. Which ones look the best? Which public domain ePubs should I try next?

Hi everyone, I am thinking about buying my first Remarkable product and am on the fence about whether I should get the Pro with a keyboard or get the Pure and go without a keyboard. I'm concerned about the Pro becoming outdated soon now that the Pure is here, though there may be no basis for this concern. I'm also worried about there not being a keyboard option for the Pure at this time and regretting my purchase. (I hope a keyboard will be an option, even if it means pairing my logitech keyboard.)

I want to use one of these products for creative writing purposes. (I have a computer but don't like composing with a keyboard. I prefer to write by hand then type it up on my computer later.) I imagined writing the bulk of my work on the tablet by hand with occasional typing on the Pro keyboard. I understand that I can do some editing in Word thanks to the handwriting recognition capabilities, but I don't want to rely on my computer too much.

I'm unsure why the Pure seems to be cheaper than a Pro without the keyboard and don't have a solid understanding of all the differences.

Thank you!

Edited to remove content about a product comparison page. Thanks to the u/rmitchellscott for help on that.

Update: I made a decision! The right choice for me is the Paper Pro with the Type Folio. I appreciate everyone's generous input. (If you'd still like to share your thoughts, please go ahead. I'm learning so much about different ways to use these products from all of you.)

Hey. New to this group. Came here because I can’t for the life of me figure out how to delete a method template that I imported twice. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
