Btw these days it can grab hand-written text too, not 100% correct always but good enough usually
I use "OK Google" - "Take a note" or "Note to self". As Google Keep is my default notes app, it will save the audio file directly in there and convert it to text. Amazing!

I've been using KEEP for years. Didn't know half of these tips. Great stuff. Thank you Scott.
I use most of these features now. Another that I find useful is the ability to share a note with a friend. We are collaboratively creating a list of great walking trails. Love Keep!

I truly enjoy these very useful tips that apply to the various apps. I often use Google Keep notes. The best tip for me was the one about grabbing an image. I was unaware of this function in Keep and will be using it just to discover it's various uses. I use Keep notes on my mobile devices, I find it most useful when I am using my Chromebook. I often use Keep notes in conjunction with Google Docs, so maybe a video of tips on how to take advantage of the integration between Keep notes and Google Docs would be helpful. I also find the presentation of these videos to most excellent!!! Happy New Year and have a BLESSED Year!!!
Love the location notification when near the place i need do buy something. Especially for shopping centres.

Hey Scott! Love your channel (especially this video)! I recently began using Notion but quickly realized that Google Keep is better for quickly capturing notes on the go (thinking of the "capture" step in the Getting Things Done process). But I'm thinking of using Notion to later process my quick notes from Google Keep into a more permanent/actionable state. Do you have a similar system, advice, or thoughts of whether that type of system would work? Thanks a bunch!
Great tips. I didn't know about the text grab. I would add that you can have many separate Google keep accounts by adding new or different Gmail accounts if you want. For example one just for all notes and task for work, and another for personal. I now just use tags for that but others may find that useful. Waiting for exporting emails from Gmail to keep.

Grab text. That alone will have me reaching for Google Keep far more often. I’d actually been looking for a stand alone app that would do this if I decide to ditch Evernote in favor of Notion. Now I’m good! Thanks!
Grab image text is my favorite feature

Also. To add an extra line in between other lines. Instead of tapping the + ( plus ) sign at the bottom & then dragging your new line all the way up to the position you want it at. You can tap on the end ( or middle if splitting ) of an existing line and then press enter & it creates a new line underneath the previous one.
What I'd like to know is the voice command in Assistant to get it to *_read the note aloud;_* I've read articles which say that you can both record *_and play back_* your audio notes, but none of them tell you the actual _command!_ I've tried "read my Keep notes" and "read my last Keep note" but all it does is reply with how many notes I've made and _show_ me the note on the screen. Basically, I'm a freelance writer and I have my best ideas while walking (or while pushing a broom at my day job) - it would be great if I could not only _make_ notes by voice command but also _hear them back_ while I'm walking or working without having to look at my phone, so I can keep track of my article ideas while I'm using my hands for other things. At this point I don't really care whether it's a playback of the audio file or if Assistant reads the text of the note back to me using TTS, so long as I can pick up my thoughts where I left off after talking to someone or cleaning a particularly stubborn toilet bowl.

Thanks, very useful. Google Keep seems to load fast on my Android phone, compared to Evernote which a takes ages to open. I personally like the aesthetic look and feel. Only complaints: no list sorting and no markup text.
Thank you in advance you for your review, I have iPhone 10 X, Thank you in advance reminder features and grab to text not appear in my keep google app
I use Keep all the time to create lists. I frequently use the audio function to add items to the list. It is much quicker than typing. One trick is to say "new line" at the end of each item, and Keep will drop down to the next line and create a new item. When I am done, I will select the checkbox feature and all the items will be given checkboxes. If you choose checkboxes first, "new line" still works, but the mic is turned off so you have to re-select the mic to dictate the next item on the new line. I have tried other formatting words like "backspace" or "delete word," but they don't work. "Period" works to insert a period as shown in the video. It would be nice to know if there are other formatting words that work.

Update and Apologies. I found out how to use these functions. Microphone at top of keyboard converts voice to text. The + sign at left has a record option which records voice AND translates to text. Long pressing on a photo gives another menu that DOES have grab text option. Sorry I didn't investigate these options before I commented 👍 👍

Dear Scott. Congratulations for your simple and clear video. I would like to ask you about one possible Keep's function but, at first, I will set a scenario: - imagine you are an Engineer and your job would be to inspect several issues in a building: windows, pavements, paintings, walls, etc. So, you might use google Keep to picture any issues and label each photo and record one brief explanations why the picture shows one issue. At this point I would ask you: could we label each taken picture in Google Keep? how could we accomplish it? Regards, Jorge

Hi Scott, I like the possibility to share a KZread video and capture it directly into a Google Keep note (eventually with a label). For instance: all interesting YT videos about golf lessons, I keep them in Keep with the label Golf and a green background. Very handy when I search in my notes for the label 'golf' or the green background, also on my mobile device.

Is there a way you can OK Google and read a note that you have made if so how do you choose the specific note what do you say that would be another good video
Great video and great tips, as usual. Thank you Scott. :-) A quick question for you. Although it's possible to use the search function to find a note containing a specific term, I cannot figure out how to search for that term then in the selected note. There's no longer a search function once you've opened a note. Do you know a way around that? The only alternative I've found is to open Keep in a web browser and then, once the note is open, use the CTRL-F function to search for a term. But nothing in the mobile app itself. Thanks for your feedback.
