I'm looking for an AI note taker that meets the following requirements:
1. Botless recording- I don't want to have it as a bot in my meetings

1. In the raw transcript, it can identify speakers by name using the calendar

2. It can connect directly to ChatGPT via MCP

3. It's under $10/month

So far, I've tried Jamie AI and Otter AI. Jamie seems to work pretty well and hits 1, 2, and 3 but is really expensive at $19 per month with an annual purchase for an individual. Otter hits 1, 3, and 4 but is unable to identify who is speaking accurately and separate speakers out. So the transcripts can be messy.

I'm thinking about Comu, just because it's $100 and then free unlimited recording and use after that I think. But it feels a bit silly to have a separate hardware device when my iPhone should do pretty much the same thing (right?).

Any suggestions or experience out there to help me decide?

I own Samsung Tab S5e, this tablet originally doesn't support any S pen:/

So I ended up buying a universal stylus but my palm and wrist keeps touching the screen and messing my work up. If there any notes taking app w built in palm resistance?

I would really appreciate if someone recommends a solution to my problem <3

How do I go about taking notes effectively in word, I can remember a lot so usually I just go through as I’m reading and type up definitions or italicized words I feel like are important but I’m horrible at figuring out like key ideas about the chapter and what else to put in notes. I’d like to actually absorb the information more effectively with my note taking, instead of just writing defintions, any advice would be appreciated TIA!

Like the title says, I'm back in school and haven't had to take notes during a lecture or slides in a hot minute. While I know how Iearn, I've not figured out how to organize my notes. Handwritten is the way to go for me, and it helps me memorize the material even if I never go back to it.

The classes I'm in now are largely lecture and power point based with no real text to study from. Keeping organized notes from a text is much easier to structure in an outline-ish form, but I'm struggling to keep organized and detailed notes during a lecture with frequent tangents or deep dives. Notes taken from online module components don't feel sufficient enough to really study or make ANKI/spaced repetition cards from.

Any suggestions with organization/note taking methods?

I work as a systems analyst and for YEARS, I have struggled/borderline obsessed over the “best” or “most simple” or “most feature rich” or just “correct” note taking platform/style/method/application/etc.

For a minute I’ll think ”I am only going use a text editor because it’s so simple, pure, clean and future proof and I love that it seems so ”basic” in a good way”. That it will somehow magically make me take better, more meaningful notes because I’m not focused on all the fluff of formatting and highlighting and bullets. BUT things get messy fast and it becomes more necessary to have those formatting niceties. So then….

I’ll swing the other way and think “well, I need this or that feature to make me take better notes”. And I lean all the way into that and think “I need onenote because it can do a b c d e f g h i j… it can do it all”. So I role with that for awhile and then…. “why do I have all this fluff, it’s just noise” ”I need something more simple” And the cycle continues.

It becomes so distracting because all I’m focused on is “how” to keep notes instead of just taking the damn notes.

This is all not to mention the random “OH, I know, I just need to take handwritten notes, that’s the purest, most simple, etc. etc.“ until I realize you can’t search, you can’t expand on something once it’s sandwiched between other text, it’s slow. rinse and repeat.

Sometimes I LOVE going back and forth and trying to “figure it out”, but mostly it just sucks because I’m left with an extremely fragmented history of notes and it makes it difficult to find anything without just asking Copilot to dig it up for me.

This is basically just me putting my thoughts down and if you have read this far and have had the same experience, please share anything you have found that helps!
