You might consider screen drawing software such as Systernals zoomit: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897434.aspx 

I think you'd need to take a screen cap at the end to save it as a graphic though.  Perhaps use screen recording software as well such as Jing.

This reminded me of my ancient plea for the old circle and arrow trick.

Donnie ... you don't mention exactly where your text is (eg Logos, Word, etc).

I like to do what you're talking about.  My platform of choice is a PDF'er with good over-writes.  I use FoxIt since it works on both my Windows and iPad.  I know you already know this, but whatever choice you make, has to have the ability to hold the text in place (since you're handwriting across rows/paragraphs).

Well, Donnie, I've read your comments over the years, and you're far ahead of me.   In my own software (which supports text to pixel matching), I thought about trying handwriting over-top text.  The problem (which dummy me should have been obvious), is the re--formatting of the text, which immediately created spagetti.  I mean, it just didn't survive even a few seconds.

My solution was forcing a hard format of the text (font/size/dimensions) for diagrams; the PDF solution is 'ok' but not fun.

Bible Mark Up - Bible Study App

By Maranatha Technologies is an option

plus there is a similiar app on android

This appears to be a fantastic app.  I have downloaded it on both android tablet and ipad.  It worked the first time, but today It will not connect with the internet.  Very frustrating, especially when you can't call anyone.

In a perfect world, Logos would have it's own "inking" feature similar to the inking features of Microsoft Word, Drawboard PDF, or OneNote. However I doubt we will ever see such a feature. I think there are advantages to the inking method in these applications over the digital typed notes that one can do in Logos (I think the act of writing facilitates memory better than typing and, for myself, it helps me be more creative and interactive with the text). 

My own method is to get the text that I want to ink into OneNote and do all my inking there. I use OneNote because it is an amazing app in its own right and because it's less likely to disappear in five years (vs. some iOS app that may not be supported five years from now) and its universal platform wise (available on Mac, iOS, Windows, Android).

With Logos getting text into OneNote is very simple since it has generous copy/paste support. When I'm wanting to mark up a text in Kindle I use the Microsoft Snipping Tool to create an image of the page. I then paste that image into a OneNote page. (Note: OneNote can translate text from an image into type-able/editable text with almost perfect accuracy. So if you want, you can then change that image of text into actual text that you can format as you please.)

Here is a screenshot of some Kindle text I was marking up yesterday: 

I keep waffling back and forth between print books and digital books primarily because of the inking issue (and because FaithLife still doesn't do a good job of getting the newest books at both the scholarly and popular level). Being able to write and interact with texts is essential for me. Inking on OneNote is more tedious to start with because you have to first get the text into OneNote. With a physical book I can just immediately start writing, but it's a more cumbersome process throughout because I need to have at least three different pen colors and the margin space for writing is always a little bit too small. Plus, if I make a mistake or change my mind on a note I'm stuck with the mistake in physical book. In OneNote I can easily undue my notes and my writing space is unlimited. However, if there was no way to do digital inking, I would definitely abandon digital books. Unfortunately, I think it will be a number of years (if ever) until a platform like Kindle or Logos ever integrates inking. 

P.S. I'm using a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 as my hardware. A great laptop/tablet hybrid in its own right, it's also the best in terms of pen integration.

Any recommendations? Thanks,

I realize this is a super old thread.  I found looking for something other than what I use.  That said, I use OneNote for windows 10 and it's working for me.  I do also add paper in my Bible to make it more conducive to adding notes (the physical world).  But other than that, I like using OneNote.  Just FYI.
