Make The Most of Your reMarkable 2

Let's revisit the Remarkable 2 one month later. I’ve been using this for several weeks, and I'm loving it — but there are some quirks to be mindful of. Whether you already have one or are shopping around, here's what you NEED to know.

None of this is financial advice but I can definitely tell you about my experiences: Which remarkable pen to buy, the remarkable accessories suite, user interface, and basic troubleshooting.

Had a meeting and my coworker's pen wasn't working, LMFAO My boss looked at us like wtf, so he bought us two Remarkable 2 with all the expensive accessories lol. couple days later we were the coolest kids in the room haha so I was told to purchase 9 more. Now we all have them thanks to my friends pen not working that day. I love mine for someone who is ocd and minimalist the remarkable is perfect. Great video.

Great video. I am a heavy rM user, here are some points.

You do not have to go with the official stylus and case. Any EMR stylus will work and you can buy far cheaper ones. They do have nibs which are a bit harder. But if you have a light hand, you may prefer the smoothness of this. For cases, I prefer shell cases. They are cheaper and stronger. I use the device naked (!) and put in in a shell case for transport and storage.

The text recognition software can get confused if the lowest parts of the letters on one line go below the highest parts of the letters on the next line. This makes the text conversion move words in to the wrong place. Avoid this by writing on everyu other line. There is no downside to this, because you can make the pages as big as you like.

When you export what you have written to your computer, there are different options. One of them is to put the text in to the text ot youe email. (As opposed to sending it as an attached document.) This will allow you to cut and paste the text. This will not be what you want if you are filling in a form or incluging pictures. But it is perfect for pure text.

Also, fancy printers now have email addresses. If you have one of those, you can send your work straight to a printer.

Finally, the synchronisation is nice, but connecting to a wifi puts a heavy drain on the battery. It is far better to just turn this off by default. Synchronising only take a couple of minutes, so you can do it at the end of the day or the end of the week.

I ordered one yesterday, but I'm still watching reviews! This is definitely an item that is really good at what it does, so whether it's 'worth it' really depends on the person and whether it's something that suits them. The 100-day trial is really generous and gives anyone plenty of time to try out the tablet; if you're still reaching for it after even 50 days, it's probably a good sign it's working for you.
I am a writer but I also work a day job from home that requires being on my computer all day. One of my biggest blocks for writing has been finding the motivation to spend even more time at my computer/work desk. I also edit text all day so sometimes writing just feels like more work. I'm hoping with this device, I can finally get back into a daily writing habit without staring even more at blue screens and make the process joyful again.
I'm also excited to switch it up and try handwriting my first drafts, although my handwriting is pretty messy so I'm not too hopeful that the text conversion will be super accurate. I don't mind the idea of having to rewrite it all, even if the text conversion isn't great - it gives you a chance to do some on-the-fly editing.

This is the first I've heard of the Moko Remarkable-2. Fantastic presentation, Yves. What a phenomenal writing system! This really blows away the Kindle Scribe.

[brunascomor]

Did you try control + shift + v, when pasting? (BTW, best review I have seen until the date. Thanks for that!)

[newbeginnings]

Remarkable are going to lose the battle if they don't do the following:

1. Reduce the price of the R2 by 30%
2. Include a basic pen in the price
3. The accessories are stupidly overpriced. So sensible people buy a 3rd party pen and cover (folio).
4. The ability to transfer files seamlessly needs to be made as people will get annoyed as it stands..
5. The subscription service after paying their prices is just an insult..

Many people will just say no to the total price and buy an Ipad... Not such a good writing experience but the R2 is just not capable of doing enough to justify the asking price..

0:22 I am constantly amazed at the ways we humans have devised to grasp our writing utensils! Are you using your ring finger and pinky to brace the pen? Trying this way, I get less tension building up in my hand (which is freaking great!), but I don't feel like I can vary pressure as easily. I may switch to this grip when I am printing.

[My_Photography_Journey]

Great review! Covered some really good points, thank you!

[KperkIns]

What I don’t like is that pay cloud access when I already have iCloud. That is what is preventing me from spending my money. Thank you for pointing out the email option.

[bralis]

Nice review, now I am better informed about the device before purchasing it. One function I did not find here is whether it is possible to use this device for MS Teams meetings if one wants to share handwritten content on the screen in MS Teams meeting.

PS.You are very beautiful - great hair and dark eyes.

Nice video, thank you. Also I don't understand why the hell some people hold the pen like that while writing 3:02. Do they teach you to write like that or something?

[janelmikalyer]

I hope you can try Supernote A6X 2. And compare it side by side with reMarkable 2. I watched a couple of videos but I want to hear your thoughts ☺

[TomTwain]

65 videos, 2 years uploading... and you only have 263 subs... YouTube is mean...🤨

I got the TypeFolio because I was hoping to do some coding on my reMarkable2, but it’s missing too many keys to be actually useful for that. Normal writing, sure — coding, no.

[im-augy]

you didn't show actually selecting the eraser and switching between the eraser and pen :c

[theaveragejoebody]

Is this not the one you can tap the screen with 2 fingers to erase?
