Hi there,

does anyone know a software or program that i can use to quickly sketch / draw and write as if i was writing in pencil ?

For instance, paint is of no use, because it can't be edited. Photoshop is kind of hard to simply make straight or curvy lines without too much trouble.

So, any ideas?

If you are running Windows 7 or Vista, you can use Windows Journal (which is part of the installation).
It works better if you have a stylus...
e.g., with a Wacom tablet... or better: a real TabletPC.

You could try google sketch up. I found it awkward to use, but maybe your better with programmes like that than me.

My son is using MS OneNote and seems to like it. It's a planner and note taking software package.

I would recommend using a program like Microsoft OneNote or Evernote for taking class notes and creating summaries. These programs allow you to easily sketch and draw using a stylus or mouse, and also offer editing capabilities. They also have features such as organization and search functions, making it easy to find and review your notes. Additionally, both programs have options for creating straight or curvy lines, making it easier for you to create diagrams and illustrations. I hope this helps in your search for the perfect program for your note-taking needs.
