Spotted by @MishaalRahman, Android 14 will feature an impressive notetaking tool for tablets. According to the information, the upcoming OS comprises a new role called ROLE_NOTES. The element is available to certain applications with SDK 34 capability.
When an app qualifies for the Notes role, the user can make it the Notes role holder by going to Settings > Apps > Default apps > Notes app. One can also access this page via connecting the stylus to your tablet or by simply checking out the lock screen settings page.

Once enabled, apps can use the notes launching action and capture content activities. It further triggers the System UI to get a screenshot of the current window on behalf of the app. Users thereafter, can edit the snap accordingly. Besides, Android 14 launched the default notes app in a floating bubbly by just tapping the tail button of a connected stylus.
