The reMarkable 2 is designed as a focused tool and does not support the installation of third-party apps like a traditional tablet. Its functionality is centered around note-taking, document reading, and sketching.

The reMarkable 2 offers an impressive battery life of up to two weeks with regular use on a single charge.

On the reMarkable 2, select your handwritten notes, tap the convert button, and choose your desired language. The text can then be copied and pasted or shared.
