Do you hit “Main” or “Process” accidently (iPhone client)?
Here’s a tip that might help you avoid accidently hitting the “Main” or “Process” buttons while selecting the region of interest on the iPhone client. You do not have to touch the corners of the blue rectangle to drag them! Touching anywhere on the screen automatically selects the nearest corner. So in particular, you can drag the top-left and top-right corners without clicking near the buttons. This can also help you position the corners more precisely, because you finger isn’t covering the corner you are dragging. Hope this tips helps!

Great JotNot demo at “The Seattle Specialist”
A big thanks to Jim Reppond, one of our users, for making this excellent video on how to use JotNot! Jim demonstrates each step in using JotNot and also gives some great uses for real estate professionals and others.

JotNot iPhone “resetting”
We have been getting some reports of the JotNot iPhone app “resetting” by going to back the welcome screen mid-processing. We suspect this is happening because the phone is low on memory (image processing takes up a lot of memory).
For now, a good workaround is to reboot your phone (i.e. completely shut it down and then restart it), and retry using JotNot (you can just import the image you already took). To do that please do the following:
- hold down the power button until the red slider appears, and
- slide it to shut off your phone; then
- wait a few seconds, and press the power button again to restart your phone
This frees up any memory that other apps or the iPhone OS may have allocated. This is especially useful if you have not rebooted your phone in a long time (FYI, you shouldn’t have to do this every time, just once). We are working on a update that will address this shortly so stay tuned. In the mean time please do not hesitate to email us at support@jotnot.com if you are having any problems.

JotNot at TechCrunch!
Jason Kincaid over at TechCrunch just wrote a great article about us. Check it out here!
iPhone and Android updates
We’ve been working really hard on the iPhone and Android JotNot applications. We’ve just released a standalone iPhone version! You can learn more about it at http://jotnot.com/iphone/. If you just want to skip all of that and get straight to downloading it you can get it from iTunes here.
The iPhone application is slightly different from the current Android application. All of the processing is done on the phone itself. None of your data is sent to the web, which means you can now process images of whiteboards or documents containing confidential or sensitive information that you wouldn’t want to share.
Look for an update in the very near future for the Android app which will make it standalone as well. In the mean time we have extended the beta until April 10th.

Our processing is back to normal speed
Just wanted to let everyone know that our processing servers have been brought back up to normal speed. Once again we’d all like to apologize about the delay in processing.
We’ve also been spending some time on increasing the speed and accuracy of our processing the past couple of weeks. Some of those changes have made it in already, and some are still to come. Stay tuned for more updates.

JotNot’s Hiccuping
There’s a problem with our severs right now—so the JotNot service might be a little slower than usual. Please bear with us and we will let you know when things are back to normal.

Another update for the Android JotNot Application
Another week, another update to our beta version of the JotNot application for Android. Before I get into what’s new in this version I’d like to thank our users for trying out our applications. An even more empahtic ‘thank you’ to users who took the time to provide us with feedback.
In this version we’ve added a few new features, a couple of bugfixes, and some changes to the interface:
New Features
- You can now change the title of a note before saving it
- The autofocus responds to a soft press on the camera button
- The enhanced images have higher contrast
- Deleting works!
Bug Fixes
- The application uses significantly less memory
- The uploading and downloading of images should be faster and less memory intensive
- Less errors which cause a ‘force close’
- Deleting items outside of our application (e.g. in the “pictures” application) doesn’t cause the application to crash
User Interface Changes
- An indicator for the autofocus was added
- A help and tips screen was added
- The view screen looks better now, all of the options are in the context menu (press the menu button to see them)
As always, if you have any suggestions, feedback, bug reports, feature requests, or anything else feel free to e-mail us at support@jotnot.com, we’d love to hear from you.

Google Android Client (beta)
We launched our beta Android G1 client last night. If you are on a G1 browsing this post, you can download it here (it might be temporarily unvailable as we fix bugs). If you tried it out, thank you and thank you for your feedback and comments! Demand for the application exceeded our wildest expectations. Consequently, we’ve been having some technical difficulties so please bear with us. We are upgrading our capacity and we will be releasing updates frequently over the next few days so please stay tuned.
