How To Use Action Memo On Your Galaxy Device With S Pen
Action Memo is a rich note taking feature that lets you take handwritten notes with your S Pen. Before discovering Action Memo, taking down someone’s phone number in a rush wasn’t the easiest thing to do. Sometimes I would tap the wrong number and I could potentially lose that contact forever. Action Memo lets me take down a number very quickly, without tapping error, and store the memo to deal with later when I’m not in a rush. But that’s only 1 of the many uses for Action Memo.
For taking a simple, old fashioned note, follow Section II. It also registers what you’ve written, such as phone numbers, email addresses and location names, and lets you link that piece of information to an action, such as calling the number, emailing, and finding that location in Maps. You’ll find a full list of what you can do, and how to use Action Memo to perform those actions, in Section IV. For some further useful instructions, such as closing a memo or erasing a mistake, check out Section V.
I. Open Air Command To Open A Memo
1. Hover the S Pen over your device’s screen till you see a small circle under the S Pen’s tip. You can do this over the home screen, or over any open app.
2. Click the button on your S Pen to open Air Command.
3. Hover the S Pen over to the Action Memo icon on the very left and tap it.
4. Tap the box next to Do not show again to prevent the tutorial from popping up. It tells you how to link memos to actions, which I show you how to do in Section III.
II. Write A Basic Memo
1. Write a memo using your S Pen. You can use your finger, but it’s not as precise and accurate.
2. Close and save the memo for later by tapping the check mark at the very right of the yellow memo box. Follow Section 4, step 1 to find out how to open your memo.
III. Open a Memo
1. To open your saved memo, follow all the steps in Section I.
2. Tap the icon with the three dots and lines arranged in columns towards the top right of the yellow memo box.
3. Tap the preview icon of the memo you want to open.
IV. Link Memos To Actions
1. After writing a note, tap the icon with a dotted circle and arrow pointing right.
2. Tap the box next to Do not show again to prevent the tutorial from popping up. It tells you that, if you have multiple items of information on your memo, you can circle the specific part you’d like to link to an action.
3. If you have multiple items of information on the memo, use your S Pen to circle the specific item you want to link to an action. If you only have one item, it will be selected automatically.
4. Tap an icon on the white menu bar that appears. I list what these icons do below.
What each icon of the white bar does from left to right:
- Tap the Phone icon to call a written number.
- Add a written number to Contacts.
- Write a text message to a written number in Messages.
- Write an email to a written email address in Email.
- Search for any written memo in Internet or Chrome.
- Search for a written location, such as a restaurant, on Maps.
- Add lists to Tasks in Calendar.
V. Other Useful Tips
1. Close a memo.
A. Tap the X icon on the top right of the yellow memo box.
2. Erase a part of a memo.
A. Tap the eraser icon on the top left of the yellow memo box and swipe over part of a memo to erase a mistake etc.
3. Minimize a memo to a small icon on your home screen for easier access. This is great for memos you want to keep around if you’re going to use them quite often. It’s also great as a reminder that you wrote a memo as the icon will float above everything you do and act as a reminder.
A. Tap the icon with the dark circle and arrow pointing right towards the top center of the yellow memo box.
B. Tap the icon with a small dark square inside a box on the top center of the yellow memo box.
C. Your memo will be minimized to a small icon, such as the one pictured below. Tap it to open.
Handwriting on a mobile device might seem like a brand new innovation, but it’s been around since the Palm Pilot days. Having actually used a Palm Pilot, I can safely say that handwriting recognition has come a long way.
