What is Offline Note Capture?
Offline Note Capture is a powerful feature of your XNote smart pen that allows you to take notes without connecting to the XNote app. This means you can write anytime, anywhere, even without your mobile device nearby. Your notes are stored in the pen's internal memory and will sync to the app when you reconnect.
How It Works
Write as Usual: Use your XNote pen to write in your XNote notebook as you normally would.
Automatic Storage: Your pen automatically stores the notes in its 100MB internal memory.
Later Sync: When you next connect your pen to the XNote app, all your offline notes will automatically synchronize.
Benefits of Offline Note Capture
Write Anytime, Anywhere: Take notes without needing your phone or tablet nearby.
No Internet Required: Perfect for areas with poor or no internet connectivity.
Extended Battery Life: Preserve your mobile device's battery by using just the pen.
Distraction-Free Writing: Focus on your thoughts without app notifications.
Seamless Integration: Your offline notes integrate perfectly with your online notes once synced.
Capacity and Limitations
Your XNote pen can store up to 6 hours and 30 minutes of continuous writing.
The pen has 100MB of internal storage.
Once the memory is full, the oldest notes may be overwritten, so regular syncing is recommended.
Best Practices
Regular Syncing: Connect your pen to the app regularly to ensure all your notes are safely transferred.
Check Battery Life: Ensure your pen is sufficiently charged before long offline writing sessions.
Use XNote Notebooks: Always use official XNote notebooks to ensure proper capture of your writing.
Varied Writing Styles: Feel free to write, draw, or sketch – the pen captures it all.
How to Sync Offline Notes
Open the XNote app on your mobile device.
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device.
Turn on your XNote pen if it's not already on.
The app should automatically detect your pen and begin syncing.
At this point, it’s important to note that if you already have a notebook, the pen will automatically sync with it. This will be your primary notebook. You will see the following warning:
However, if you have multiple notebooks, a screen will appear for you to select one. Once you make your selection, a progress bar will fill up. When the bar is full, you can go ahead and check that notebook.
If sync doesn't start automatically, go to the app's sync section and initiate a manual sync.
Wait for the sync to complete. The time may vary depending on how much you've written offline.
Troubleshooting
If you're having trouble syncing your offline notes:
Ensure your pen is charged and turned on.
Check that Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.
Restart both the XNote app and your pen.
If problems persist, contact XNote customer support.
Remember, Offline Note Capture is designed to make your note-taking experience as seamless and flexible as possible. Whether you're in a meeting, on a hike, or simply prefer writing without digital distractions, this feature ensures you never miss capturing an important thought or idea.
