Hi folks,
So, when using S-Note on the Note 8, there is the option to enter handwriting, which is then recognized, and turned into typed text. What I notice, is that the typed text is wrapped (next line) according to the way you enter the text lines below each other with your handwriting. Thus, if you write four words in a line, and then continue writing in the next line, the recognized text will also only have the four words in its first line, with the rest in the next line.
Since handwriting is, as a rule, much larger than the typed, recognized text, the recognized text always only fills about the left third of the page. This is obviously wasting a lot of screen space.
I would like to see a way to either drag-extend the text-box after recognition, and see the words wrap at the edge of the text-box, rather than according to my initial handwriting, OR, I'd like to see the software auto-wrap the text itself, making the text-box larger, to the full width of the page, thus allowing me to write much more on a page than only one third on the left side.
Anyone have any ideas about this?

Hello All. As you all know, ICS has a drastically updated speech to text engine built in. The feature was shown off with the ability to dictate punctuation. For those that have tried it, how has your experience been with it? Does it actually know to end a sentence with a period, as opposed to entering the word "period" (I ask this really of all punctuations). As of now, it works ok for me, but it picks and chooses when to enter the actual punctuation mark and when to enter the word (i.e, period, comma, exclamation point, etc.).
This happens all the time, and it makes me just exit out because it takes forever to type on this dang phone due to stupid "features" it forces.
I am typing, and as I'm typing the phone gives me a little vibration and boop, wherever I was typing it pastes a copy of the entire contents of the text window. Has happened on 2 of these phones (my first one died while not in use and wasn't rooted or modded ever). This is very annoying and I'm wondering if it is a known issue, or a feature of some sort that I'm fat fingering without realizing it.
I just give up whatever I was doing and close the window. Going back in a text is ridiculously annoying with this thing so I don't even bother if it doesn't work immediately. It gets in a mood and I can click on a word in a paragraph 20 times and it will never go to that spot, the cursor will just pop to wherever it feels like and the text window zooms out for no reason at the same time. For example, imagine I zoom as far as possible on the first few words of this sentence and click between the "i" and "v" in the word "give" in the first sentence of this paragraph. The cursor pops over to the last word on the last line of the entire paragraph AND zooms out. But I assume that's some sort of "feature", like how automatic transmissions accelerate your car to 10mph for no reason and scares the crap out of anybody that never uses them.
I disabled autocorrect because of the "randomly going somewhere else" cursor that will just keep selecting the same word that is nowhere near where I'm clicking. No phone, I left out a space. I don't want to correct the word "pwn". NO I DON'T WANT TO CORRECT PWN! AGHHH I DON'T WANT TO CORRECT IT! *back button*

I translate texts, and would like to be able to do that in more places than just while sitting with a laptop somewhere.
Even on the Note II, the screen isn't quite big enough to display the original text, the translated text and a keyboard on top of it.
So, I'm thinking of a way to read the text on screen, then verbalize the translation and have the phone commit that to writing, in the background, by way of voice recognition (a need for corrections later on is expected).
This would allow shifting the times I do work to low quality time periods like waiting for transportation to arrive etc.
Has anyone tried or done something similar to this?
I guess one option on the Note would be to have a small area to write the translation with the pen... but hands-free dictation style would be preferable.
This is really bugging me. I've got Lecture Notes set up perfectly, but the one thing that's marring the experience for me is that I'm forced to write in a little window at the bottom of the screen (for text), and I can't find a way to move it or adjust the window size.
Why do I want to move it?
For simply entering text in a text field or writing a short note there is no real issue writing at the bottom of the screen.
But for prolonged periods, you feel the strain. You are constantly putting pressure on one end of tablet - upsetting the center of balance, which the wrist of your holding hand has to compensate for.
Hi folks,
When using the Note 8, and having to enter text, one has the option of keyboards, or, using the S-Pen, handwriting. The keyboards one can move to the top of the screen and such, but, the S-Pen entry (the yellow area that appears) is always at the bottom of the screen, and is non-transparent, thus limiting its size.
Anyone know of a way to move that entry-area to the top of the screen (I've found that when writing there, one often accidentally touches either the back, the home or the menu buttons below the screen, and, as you could imagine, this is an extreme frustration!
Optionally, does anyone know of a way (or alternative input software) that allows you to simply write anywhere on the screen (whole screen?) and it gets recognized and entered as text? (ie. a "whole-screen sized" entry-box, which is transparent, thus not covering the areas where the text is actually entered, almost like the recognition mode of S-Note, but, obviously, able to work in the browser, email, and all other apps...in a sense, replacing the current "keyboard (and its handwriting-recognition option)" with another?
