Why are your favorite less obvious uses for the S Pen?

Many people will be buying their first Note phone with the upcoming release. There's tons of functionality buried that most people never see or use. What are some of those features you wish more people knew was available?

I use it for electronic signatures for reports and credit card sales. Hand written Notes. Cut and paste. I have friends that are artist draw portraits on their Notes!

Well, I remember reading that in the past, you could circle text from an image (not highlight actual text) and it would translate that for you. Not sure if it can still do that or not. But that was definitely something not obvious.

Scratching my rear end.

A toy to play around with when I'm bored, especially with the clicker on the Note5.

Using a s-pen in skyforce reloaded is like having cheat codes

There are a lot of "Tips and Tricks" videos on the Note Series devices on Youtube. Many of the uses, if not all, are outlined in various videos including what you mention... OCR capturing of text from a photo. I'm guessing that once a new Note user gets their device, they'll search out all they can about the S Pen... that's what I did with both my Note 4 and Note 10.1 2014. It's too fine a tool to just leave in it's silo.

It's great for nose & ear picking.

One of the reasons I stuck with the Note 4. I was afraid with the Note 5 I might stick the stylus in my nose backward and it would get stuck.
