Today, we’re going to dive into the Samsung Tab S8 Ultra for note-taking and digital planning. This tablet is huge. If you’re going to unload some serious dough, you probably want to know how to use this product for productivity and digital note-taking. Learn how you can get a return on your investment by using the Samsung Tab S8 Ultra for digital planning and note-taking.
Here are the apps I like so far for Samsung Tab S8 Ultra:
OneNote
Noteshelf
Samsung Notes
Pair with the Fold and the S22 for even more powerful features. Your digital planner will sync across these devices using those applications. OneNote is especially great for this, as it will sync across everything - even if you’re throwing some Apple devices into the mix. Noteshelf is a PDF annotation app that allows for hyperlinked navigation. Samsung Notes has emerged as a powerful tool in this latest update. For a full overview of Samsung Notes, click here.
Benefits to digital planning and note-taking on the Samsung Tab S8 Ultra include:
Lots of space
Convert written notes to text
Syncs with other devices

[@GhostMuertos]

I'm a longtime OneNote user and lover. But after seeing how we can use Samsung notes on the s22+tab s8 I'm super excited to switch! Too bad the s8 ultra is so backordered 😩

[@bodendorfer]

It is a pretty awesome size for a tablet. I will say though at some points its a little too large for personal carry.

[@ChaosWitxh]

I’d recommend the S8+ :) It is 12.4” so a little more portable. I wouldn’t think you’d actually need the Ultra for planning. It’s a bit overkill, but if you have the funds and want to go for it, why not?

[@Gunny_101st]

Another one out of the park. Can't wait to merge my S22U with the S8+ when and if it ever arrives.

[@mc0200]

How do you customize your home screen for productivity? Thanks

[@ozanoguzhaktanir]

This was useful, thank you. I am having problem with spen. Sidebutton clicking randomly even if I don't touch it. Have you experienced this?

[@mr.yudiuup]

Good thing that you can sync Samsung Notes to One Notes

[@ThePleb]

Do you only get one years use out of it (I. E have to buy it for every year) or can you buy a one off copy and use it forever?

[@Svangen1]

It's free with Samsung devices. It's only on Samsung devices as far as I know

[@Ruaniitta]

Great notes advice! Really cool! Did you notice a different pen latency using the different app for handwriting notes ?

[@bodendorfer]

No I don’t really. If there is it’s such a small amount that I didn’t notice.

[@Ruaniitta]

@@bodendorfer perfect then ! Thank you 🙏

[@dimitrichristy630]

I find my self using one note for my study and formal notes. Samsung notes for pdf viewing and impromptu notes. Not sure if I should use your journal with one note or samaung note? Any advise would be appreciated

[@bodendorfer]

I really love what Samsung Notes offers, however I still like to be able to take notes and edit them on my iPad and laptop. With that said I use OneNote for my note taking. Excited to see where Samsung Notes goes from here. They have the base of a great product.

[@aimei1590]

Hello! This might be a dumb question, I don't know a lot of note-taking on tablets with a pen. I have a Samsung s8, and I've been using it for note taking, but I'm not sure if I should write with my hand on the display or just hover it while taking notes. I've tried both, but I would like to know if you have any tips on how to do it in the most comfortable way!

[@Aslanalali]

Interested.....

[@gustavomoraes870]

My hand stays on the display, but with minimal pressure.

[@hipponic]

Hi, very detail tutorial...but how did u use the phone as palet? only available for s22?

[@bodendorfer]

To my knowledge that is only an S22 feature. I have tried it with my fold 4 and no luck. It indeed is a cool pairing of tech.

[@hitco1]

Hi Brandon I have purchased the onenote key to success planner from you I would like to know can I use the planner in Samsung notes Or do I have to purchase a different version to work in Samsung notes.

Hi, great productive videos :) Many thanks :) If possible, make videos on the settings related to print across different note taking apps.

[@angelaernst4537]

I wish samsung notes would also be available on Windows 10 computer because I prefer that to onenote

[@bodendorfer]

It is possible. Google it.

[@alinadormady366]

Just saw video. How do you get the planner that you show for one note and notes. Also in the end your recommendation was one note or notes. What didn't you like about noteshelf? Thanks

[@bodendorfer]

I just don't like that Noteshelf doesn't sync with other devices. For me that makes it pointless, as I want to view my notes on other devices. As for Notes vs OneNote, I did a video on that. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqqaZnl9otmea5o) You can find our planner at www.key2successplanner.com

11:18 Does it only work on the S22 series?

Hi! How can I make seid tabs, I mean Jan, Feb...

[@tempengineering2016]

Do you prefer Samsung notes over One note? I also own the S-22 Ultra

[@bodendorfer]

If you are sticking to just Samsung devices then I would choose notes. If you look to sync across windows and apple devices then I suggest OneNote.

I assume that whenever you show the planner screens it requires that the user has bought your planning system. I don't see planning screens in the apps themselves.

If you are a first time user. Purchase OneNote and within the first day request that we add the Samsung notes version. No charge for first time users.

Hi I have a question about the easy writing pad when using the s-pen. When it returns from an end of line I can't get it to line up with the next line. It always drops too low. Any suggestions? I use noteshelf on an ipad and it's awesome. Wanting to change to snotes and the tab s8 but I need that to work well for all my hand written notes. Any help would be greatly appreciated

[@Jack-xy4fy]

I have the same issue. Let me know if you got a solution please

[@deaneaxboy]

@@Jack-xy4fy my work around is to resize the box so it's about the same size as a line. There is a size that works, although it makes the box smaller than I'd like. I've put a feature request in to Samsung so hopefully it will be fixed one day. Seems like a pretty big oversight to me.

[@Jack-xy4fy]

@@deaneaxboy me too. I noticed it while trying it out in the shop and pointed it out to the salesman. I actually prefer to use dictation for notes, so it doesn't slow me down much anyway.

@@Jack-xy4fy I really like handwriting notes so it's definitely a problem for me

[@traviswieser]

What about Google Keep Notes?

[@renzoodorico7848]

Hello, I am thinking about starting with digital note taking so I'm trying to learn more about it. In Onenote (or other note taking apps in general), let's say I write several lines of notes (with the pen (not typed) and then switched to some other task, have these lines been saved as one unit, or can I manipulate them individually. For instance can I circle each individual line and say move it to another location?

[@bodendorfer]

Yes you would be able to use the lasso tool to select the individual letters, words and lines that you would like to copy, cut or move. This works in OneNote, samsung notes and many note taking apps. This is great for copying todos from one day to the next or simply moving an appointment in your digital planner.

Thanks@@bodendorfer

[@rahulskype1221]

Hi thanks for the great videos. I have a question, if you could help. While using one note in Samsung tab S8 the keyboard is disabled. Unable to activate it. If I wish to take note then I have write with s Pen but like in Samsung one note I can not type in one note. Is there any setting for it?

Hello, i have a strange problem related to sound feedback of pen in notes and in screen off memo. After fresh install of android 13, the spen is making sound like pen on paper in notes app and in screen off memo, but after a wile the spen is mute in screen off memo and notes app. Its working with write sound only in writing on screenshot and thats it. If i reset tablet to default, the sound of writing on paper is back in screen off memo and notes, but after 10 min is mute again. Maybe it has something to do with updating apps on google play?

[@bodendorfer]

I have not heard of such issue. It is most likely related to the app or system update. You should make check reddit and see if anyone is experiencing the same issue.

[@meenam300zx]

It's good to know you can use notes and all that but isn't it it much simpler and more efficient to just buy a decent laptop with a full copy of MS Office and simply type your notes rather than highlighting and converting it? That will save you lot of money and time. Imagine how quick you can do that with the Dell 7430. This reminds me of a joke, in the 80s, aboard the space station, American astronaut takes out the pen and tells his Russian cosmonaut that NASA spent 5 years and made this $10,000 pen with special ink to write in space. The Russian takes out a pencil and he says, mine doesn't cost anything.
