Bamboo Paper Description
Sure enough Windows comes with a variety of tools to cover most domains of activity. However, Windows can now run on touch-enabled devices, which can bring a lot more functionality. As such, Bamboo Paper comes as a neat tool to use with a stylus to write or draw your ideas in custom books.
Powerful tool when used with a stylus
The application is deployed through the Windows Store, so it’s only working on Windows 8.1 and above. In fact, the application is designed to be helpful on touch-enabled devices, more precisely those also supporting a stylus, especially since the Wacom also produces powerful tablet styli.
The first step is to create a new notebook. You can fit it with a custom name to make it easier to identify later on, one of various cover types and colors, as well as page style, which can be blank, crossed horizontally or vertically, or checkered paper. Multiple books can be created and can be viewed and selected from the main screen.
Handwritten text with various drawing utensils
Accessing the content of the notebook is where all the fun begins, especially if you’re a keen artist, but more specifically if you use a stylus. It works with the mouse just as well, but there’s a greater and proper feeling to it when used on an actual touch-enabled device. It completely acts as a regular notebook, without any options to insert text via the keyboard or clipboard, so all text needs to be drawn, hence the practicality of a stylus.
There are multiple writing and drawing utensils at your disposal, each with several point thickness options. Colors can be changed as well, and there’s even a highlighter tool fitted with a specific amount of transparency. Pictures can be inserted from local files or via a connected webcam.
Multiple pages can be created, with a dedicated manager which shows a preview. Pages can be individually exported as PNG and PDF, while entire books under formats like WILL or PDF.
A few last words
To sum it up, Bamboo Paper might come with what seems like a rather shallow set of features, but used with a stylus makes you realize it contains just the right amount of functions. Multiple, custom-styled books can be created and saved, making this app worth your while overall.
