Palm rejection when writing with pen

It is natural to rest the palm on the paper/device/surface while writing with a pen...Currently we can't properly write because our hands' palms interrupt the pen input. Please add palm rejection / palm recognition !

        In the Windows 10 Settings "Pen & Windows Ink" there is an option "Ignore touch input when I'm using my pen". This works for me already

        I also have this problem with many different devices.

        Getting very annoyed becauseod this problem. After zooming because of my palm, xodo suddenly thinks that my s pen too is trying to navigate the page. I have to move around the page once, get my pen off the monitor and carefully place the pen first(so thst i dont have to go through all this once again) to write sth. I'vebeen using xodo for about half a year now dont think this was always the case...... noticed this recently.

        This is the most important feature missing from Xodo. I would even pay a one-time fee ($5-1$10) for a pro version with this feature.

        That's a feature I truly am looking after and would appreciate to see implemented in near future.
        I have Android 4.4 and Android 6.0 devices with a Wacom pen.

        not only for Windows 10, consider the Windows 8.1 also please

        Great job by the way

        Please! I have a Tab S3 with an spen and it zooms in and out when my palm touches it. Mark is right, a zoom lock (like squid) would help a lot. Thanks!

        XODO doesn't support palm rejection feature to 'Freehand tool'

        I use galaxy note with s-pen and palm rejection works well in 'pan tool'.

        but when i use 'Freehand tool' to change color or size of the pen, palm rejection doesn't works.
        It interferes writing with s-pen when i use multi colors.

        I hope it will be updated soon.

        thank you

        This could be solved by adding of locking the zoom level.

        I am so nervous for palm rejection. Sometimes writing with S-pen was recognized moving page.

      • Diego A commented  · 

        It can be solved with a simple setting that only processes the too left tap on a multi touch situation (too right for Lefties). This would help a good number of users without any palm detection procedure that requires IA or any additional hardware.

        please better palm reject while using stylus

      • Jan Jezek commented  · 

        you should buy a device with apropriate hardware for this purpose guys.
        Like galaxy note series from Samsung or Wacom company or (maybe others I dont know).
        Normal capacitive display is made for using a finger not a stylus.
        Solving this problem of rejecting a palm on software level is not a good idea at all.
        The same with a piece of paper and pencil.
        If your hand is dirty of carbon dust then it is on the paper too of course.
        XoDo has the option to write down a comment with my S-pen immediately and moving and other action with a finger.
        That is absolutely amazing!!

        I would highly appreciate this feature as well as I'm using Xodo daily for studying purposes.

        This is a very important feature for me. I've taken to wearing a glove to avoid this problem!
