If you're using the Rocketbook Core Reusable Spiral Notebook, picking the right pen definitely makes a difference. This notebook is designed to be reusable, which means it works best with certain pens. According to the manufacturer, Pilot FriXion pens are the way to go. They have this neat ink that bonds to the pages but wipes off easily with a damp cloth, so you can use your notebook over and over.
From what we've seen, Pilot FriXion pens aren't just good for reusability—they also help keep your handwriting clear and readable. That's super helpful when you're scanning your notes with the Rocketbook app, especially if you're using the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature to turn your handwritten notes into digital text.
Just make sure the ink has dried before wiping it, or you might end up with some smudges and scanning issues.
The Rocketbook app can convert your handwritten notes to text via email, but how well it works can depend a lot on how clear your handwriting is. If your script is fancy or too connected, the OCR might struggle a bit, leading to odd formatting or missing words. Writing clearly and distinctly can really help improve accuracy.
If the built-in OCR isn't cutting it for you, trying out other OCR tools could be a good idea—they often handle text recognition better and could give you the results you're after.
Getting comfortable with the Rocketbook might take a little practice, and checking out some user guides or tutorials could offer some helpful tips.
But with the right pen and a bit of habit-building, you'll find it's a handy way to organize and digitize your notes.
