Ipad app writeroom3/20/2023 I don’t have to press keys, I tap on a screen. Why? Because it’s the closest thing to writing that I’ve tried in my entire life. Despite its platform-wide compatibility, I usually write on the iPad. It’s a very minimal note taking application that constantly sync notes in cloud and allows you to write across multiple devices such as your iPad, iPhone and Mac. If you still haven’t tried the app, go download it immediately. Most of my stories and reviews are written using Simplenote on the iPad. They share consensus that if a device is perfect for consuming, then it must be terrible at producing. I also read posts and comments from other people, these ones claiming that there’s no way you can produce original content on the iPad. It’s true: the tablet form factor surely helps a lot in practicing these activities. They say it’s perfect for music, videos, pictures. we can access iDisk documents on the iPad using AirSharingīut we can take it to the next step with a native EagleFiler iPad app.I keep reading posts on the internet about people stating that the iPad is the perfect device to consume content.we can store the EagleFiler Library on iDisk.How can we marry the two - ubiquitous access to documents across multiple devices along with digital organizational tools - together?Ĭertainly today, we can get part way there: It works great because of the capture methods, and organization and searching features.Īnd now, I bet you know where this is going… This is of course where EagleFiler comes into the picture. The next piece came with organizing (and possibly tagging).I could place the scanned documents on iDisk and have access to them both on my main computer and on my iPad/iPhone.I began looking at ways that I could scan in paper documents using A Fujitsu ScanSnap scanner, and then organizing them on my Mac, instead of printing and filing in a file cabinet.Obvious choices are iDisk Syncing and DropBox. next I looked at how combining cloud storage with iPad document manager/reader apps could work in the workflow, which could also utilize the iPad’s “Open document in other application” feature, and found a much better fit, still some flaws, but much better.After a day of experimenting with it, I abandoned it, as the implementation was slow, clunky, complicated, and resulted in up to four copies of a single file the iPad has new “file Sharing” capabilities.moving from paper filing to scanning and electronic filing.being able to access documents anywhere.Integration like that might be nice for EF, too.Īfter purchasing my iPad on April 3rd, I started working on a new way of working in my office, with an emphasis transitioning to a paperless workflow and being able to access edit content both at my main computer and when mobile. Scrivener already does this, you can grab WriteRoom notes and import them directly into a writing project. It can also be set up to automatically synch with a central server, which incidentally does have APIs for third-party integration. I use it to jot down ideas while commuting, and then use the built-in web server to access the notes later on in a browser. For a small price, WriteRoom.app is very nice. An EF “light” library reader that lets you access your notes on the go.Īnother present-tense method for loose EF integration between iDevice and Mac is the EverNote application which can be run on both. It may very well be that iPad applications will be, like iPhone/Touch applications, restricted to running in their own box, save for the pasteboard.īeyond that, and into the heavy development realm (as if the above would be “easy”), something like what Gus has done with VoodooPad could be interesting. While some of their applications definitely do provide this, it remains to be seen if these are Apple-only APIs that cannot be accessed by third-party vendors. The rest of the synch process would essentially dump the pending clippings into the “To Import” folders on the Mac, letting EF handle the rest from there.īut, that assumes Apple will allow inter-application integration. On the iPad itself, when snipping pages, text, and images, the user would be presented with a pop-up menu that lets them select the target library, perhaps with the last used library always at the top for easy access in the case of long lists. Synch could look something like this: It handshakes with a host application running on the Mac and gets an updated list of registered libraries that the user sets up on the Mac. What would definitely be useful is an EF capture application that would let you snip things from other applications.
