SoundNote is a very good note taking app that syncs the audio with the notes.
SOUNDNOTE IPAD APP DOWNLOAD
Type that into a web browser on a computer on the same network as the iPad to download the file. Tap it and a window pops up with the addresses (either URL or IP address) of the file on the iPad. Tap on the share button and the third item says File Sharing…â€. The third way of sharing the notes and audio is via a network. I previously reviewed the great DropBox app as an iPad App of the Week.
SOUNDNOTE IPAD APP PDF
DropBox also has a great iPad app which would allow the user to then open the PDF file in another application by getting it from DropBox in the service’s app. If the user is a DropBox subscriber, this might be the best way since audio files could get large and be rejected by some email services. When sending the email, there is an option to share the file by sending a link to a shared folder on DropBox. Second, the note page and the recording can be emailed. First, just the note can be emailed as a PDF file. Once the recording is finished, the note and audio file can be exported in a few ways. If someone can’t read his handwriting, he could just tap the scribbles and hit play and whatever was being said during that moment will be played to remind him what the chicken scratch was supposed to represent. If a student drifted off and lost focus doodling, she could just tap the doodle and listen to what the professor was saying at that point and add it to her notes. This would be very useful for recording a lecture in school or a meeting at work. From there you can hit play and SoundNote will start playing the audio, starting a few seconds before the location of your note. To access a specific moment in the recording, simply tap on the section of your notes you are interested in and the audio recording jumps to that spot. During recording SoundNote tracks what is typed or drawn. The capacity is only limited by the capacity of the iPad. The audio time signature appears and counts the seconds and minutes. Once the note is opened, tap the record button below the toolbar to the left. What sets SoundNote apart and gives it the name is the audio recording feature. In drawing mode, a user can draw then tap on what is drawn and move it around by dragging it. In drawing mode, which is accessed by tapping on the pencil icon, the page turns into a piece of graph paper (see below image darkened to show graph). In typing mode, the page looks like a ruled notebook page.
There are no folders in the app, which would be a nice addition for a future update.
SOUNDNOTE IPAD APP WINDOWS
I like using it better in landscape mode where the note lists is visible on the left hand side, like a Windows Explorer window. Tap the Documents button and a list of notes will drop down. In portrait mode all you see the notepaper background and a single note.
SoundNote is like most note taking apps in that it looks like a ruled notebook with white paper-like interface. With SoundNote, users can take notes, record audio, and then export the notes and the audio. I’d consider that notable.SoundNote is a note taking app with a couple of neat tricks under its belt to make it worth the $5 price tag. Moreover, such tablets remain expensive, niche products, ones I’m sure most college and high-school students cannot afford and do not have.
I can imagine wanting a keyboard to take down sufficient notes in a detailed class or lecture, as opposed to an interview I plan on splicing up anyway. But all three have much to recommend them and offer a vast leap over traditional methods of note taking-at least for those of us with woeful handwriting and the need to get down lots of quotes.īut all these newfangled apps do raise a question: Is your iPad, smartphone, or tablet really an ideal place to be taking notes, anyway? I, at least, need to hunt and peck with two fingers to type on my iPad, slowing me down considerably. And Notability never did send me my files with the audio attached for some reason. SoundNote never crashed, and never erred in sending my notes to me. It does seem that the bells and whistles tend to make Notability and AudioNote less stable, at least on my iPad 2.
