Rocket book8/23/2023 Again, this will depend on how neat your handwriting is for me, both the quality of the translation and the layout were pretty poor. The quality of the scans will depend on the quality of the phone and camera that you’re using, but I found them very good using my iPhone X. Just put a cross through the destinations you want, and the app can read these. While you can just scan a page and then choose the destination from the app, you’ll notice that the bottom of each page in the Rocketbook Fusion has the same icons. There’s a huge range of destinations including email, Google Drive, Dropbox and Evernote. You can choose to bundle scans together (scan multiple pages), and whether or not you want OCR turned on. For each choice, you can set the default options for how you want the scan to go across. Each destination has a thumbnail icon, including a rocket, a diamond and an apple. Inside the app, you can set destinations to have your scans sent to. It’s far more fluid and gives better results than other scanning apps designed for regular paper, such as Scanbot. This lets you scan pages, with the app recognising the QR code and automatically lining up the camera, cutting out areas around your desk. So far so good, but what if you don’t want to lose your notes? That’s where the app comes in. App – Quick to scan with some neat options but OCR didn’t work well for me Again, it would be nice if you could buy replacement pages only and slot them in, just in case you have an issue with a single page. This suggests that at some point some pages may get worn out, so I recommend trying to use the entire notebook as evenly as you can. There’s a very faint outline of previous words if you look at the page at the right angle, but not enough that this will put you off writing. Just wait until the page is fully dry, otherwise the ink won’t stick. And, when you’re finished with your text, you can just take the cloth, get it damp and wipe it to clean off the page and start all over again. The results are impressive, and the Fusion is as readable as any regular notebook. Secondly, the ink takes a while to dry, so be careful of smudging or closing the book too soon. First, it seems to take a while for the ink to truly flow, so my first characters always looked a little faint. Writing with the pen is like writing on paper, with a couple of caveats. You get a 0.7 ball pen in the pack, which is a fairly cheap-feeling plastic model: Rocketbook also sells different pens, including different colours and you can buy refills that should fit most ball pens. The only caveat is that you can only use Rocketbook FriXion pens. While the company’s original notebooks could be wiped up to five times using a microwave, you can just wipe the Fusion’s pages clean using a damp cloth (cloth provided). I’d like a more premium feel, more along the lines of a Moleskine notebook.Īll of the pages are made from Rocketbook’s high-tech synthetic paper, which has the feel of a whiteboard: it’s flexible like paper but has a high-gloss sheen on it. A Filofax replacement, if you will.ĭespite the cost of the notebook, it comes with a rather cheap-feeling hard plastic front to it. That gives you a fair amount of flexibility, but the ideal would be an openable ring binder that lets you choose the combination of pages. This book is designed to replace many other notebooks, and contains pages with templates for tasks, two pages of weekly planning, a calendar, objectives, and then a decent chunk of pages with grids or lines. Rocketbook has several notebooks that use its technology, including the Core, which just has line pages, and the Fusion that I have here. Design and writing – Pretty much like paper but with slower-drying ink A slightly limited number of pages and slow drying ink are minor issues but this is a handy high-tech way of replacing a low-tech item. The Rocketbook Fusion aims to change that with its high-tech paper that can be wiped and used time and time again, combined with an app that will scan and save notes for use.Ĭheaper than its digital-based alternatives, such as the Remarkable 2 E Ink tablet, this notebook feels much more like writing for real. Try as it may, digital technology hasn’t managed to replace the ease and convenience of being able to hand-write notes.
