Best Smart Notebooks To Seamlessly Digitize Your Handwritten Notes

Some people have gone completely digital with their work, using different productivity apps to take class notes, jot down to-dos or sketch their own designs. Others are still sticking to what works a.k.a. pen and paper. Smart notebooks are a clever way to bridge the gap between the two. They let you write on paper with an actual pen or send everything off to an app on your smartphone or computer, and then wipe the pages clean.

That means, if you pick the right smart notebook (don't worry, we've got you covered), you can use the same one over and over again. This will save you money and reduce paper waste.

Not all smart notebooks are created equal, which is exactly why we turned to the experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute and trusted shoppers to gather an assortment of picks to fit all of your needs, whether you're concerned about the page size, app, and device compatibility or ease of use (or all three). You'll notice two different kinds of smart notebooks on this list: Most of them prompt you to take a picture of the page to transfer them to apps or cloud services, but a select few come with a smartpen that automatically captures whatever you're working on and displays it on the screen.

Now, you can buy the best smart notebooks.
