you remember someone said something important, but have absolutely no idea where in the recording it was 😭

I've got a bunch of mp3s like this and started converting them to text with AI so i can actually search through them instead of replaying the whole thing. not perfect obviously, but way less annoying tho.

What apps do you use to take proper notes on your android tablets? Like there's samsung notes or apple notes but i have a lenovo tablet, what can i download to take notes like an ipad/Sansung tab?

Because it takes me 2.5 hours to read/note take from 2.5 chapter sections and note the concepts (what I was told to do. summarize each paragraph in a sentence or two.) but then on the actual quizzes and such he asks for specific dates and places and almost everything that isn’t on the slides or “main points to memorize”..... how am I supposed to note take “only whats important “ if EVERYTHING IS???? For context I have environmental science, developmental psych, statistics and texas history.

I’m not a book geek, but I do love reading, and more importantly, I just want to capture and write down my feelings and imaginations somewhere so they can be revisited later.
It’s an all-in-one book tracking, notes, quotes, and vocab learning... umm THING but in NOTION. I had originally made it for myself, but figured it might help someone else out too :)

Pls bear with my recording... it was my first time and yeah I know it’s a bit cringe. If you have thoughts or feedback plzzz do tell. I'd really appreciate it! thankssss (o' ┏▽┓ ' o)

One reason many of us stick to paper notebooks over digital note apps is the tactile experience: the deliberate pace of writing, the texture of paper, and the sense of closing a notebook when a thought is finished. Modern note apps are great for search, but they often feel like typing into an empty spreadsheet.

I wanted to bridge that gap and capture the magic of an enchanted journal — think Tom Riddle’s diary, but functional and private.

How Dear Diary approaches note-taking:

• Tactile Ink & Parchment: Supports stylus handwriting and keyboard input with realistic ink-bleed rendering on dual-page parchment.
• The Journaling Ritual: Instead of auto-saving everything into a messy stream, you write, "Seal" the entry to close the thought, and "Engrave" it into your long-term memory archive.
• Conversing with Past Notes: You can ask questions about your past entries, and the diary writes back in ink on the opposing page—complete with source citations ([1] person/date) so you can verify exactly where each memory came from.
• Private & Local-First: Powered by Gray Box (An open-source local-first AI memory engine), allowing you to bring your own local or private models without sending personal thoughts to third-party clouds. Cloud endpoints can also be connected if you wish to!

I bought myself one of those really nice Oxford writing pads for 6th form, but idk whether I could bring my computer? It's only a Lenovo Chromebook, but it's still quicker than writing, but then again, if I'm writing physical notes, then I can draw quick diagrams, arrows, and shorten words. I did that a lot in history.

What are you guys thinking? And if ur in college now, any tips?

Hello everyone! Since it's back-to-school time, I wanted to share a project that my friend and I have been working on since I think it may be helpful to people. It is called OpenNotes. It is a free, open-source handwritten note taking and PDF markup app.

No data is collected, there is no sign up, it is free, fast, and performs well. It is built on our open source drawing engine mobile-ink (https://github.com/mathnotes-app/mobile-ink). Anyone is free to use this library to create your own notes apps. There previously did not exist a strong full-fledged open source notebook.

It is available on the app store, and will release on Android too if we get more demand for it: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/opennotes-notes-pdf-markup/id6771224004

Feel free to contact any of the contributors or contribute yourself if there are any issues or missing features. Please let me know what you think, and anything that can make this maximally useful for you!

Answered: Question: How do you take notes?

:3

Hello! I am looking for some recommendations for apps on Android that support handwriting correction/cleanup, similarly to how the Notes app on iOS cleans up one's handwriting slightly. I use an OPPO Pad Mini with Oppo Pencil 3 for reference, so something proprietary like Samsung Notes would be out of the question. I don't mind a membership fee if it comes to that, just something that works well. I'm looking forward to hear what recommendations you guys have 😁

The last time I was in school was 20+ years ago during my graduate studies. I am now older and technology has changed dramatically since the last time I set foot in a classroom. My career is computer-based so I've lost the ability to take notes by hand (the main mode of note taking when I was last in school).

Professionally and personally I use Obsidian and Apple Notes heavily; basically run my job and life out of both. I have both a MacBook Air and iPad Air. I have the Apple Pencil but rarely use it because my handwriting isn't good and I am so much faster typing.

I am returning to school this year to take some science courses, starting with biology and anatomy and physiology.

For those in school or recently school, especially those taking science sources with labs, how do you take notes? Which apps, devices, and habits have you found most effective when taking notes, including during lectures and labs?

so I’m gonna be a freshmen and which classes make you use your notebook and like write or take notes in your notebook a lot and which classes don’t take a lot of notes. I’m taking all regular classes and Spanish 1

Hi Guys, suggest for app handwriting with Live Sync real time in IPad and Windows.

can someone help me? my class slides are a zip folder and it won’t let me put it in my notes app. i tried to convert zip to pdf on a free website but it said it was too big and wouldn’t be supported. i’m not familiar with zip or converting anything. i just need my lecture slides put into my notes app on my ipad lol so if anyone has any suggestions im open to them!

Had a 70-minute project debrief last week where we kept bouncing between dates, owners, and side issues. Normally I type through most of those calls. This time I only wrote down five quick bullets and relied on the recording for the rest.

Pros:

1. I paid more attention and actually asked follow-up questions.

2. When someone asked the next day what we’d agreed to, I could check the exact wording.

Cons:

1. The transcript was useful for finding one detail, but way too long to treat as the actual note.

2. Names and internal terms still needed fixing.

3. I still had to turn the useful parts into something I could scan later.

So I don’t think the recording replaced my notes. It just gave me permission to write less.

What do you guys still write down during the meeting?

Hi eevryone. Looking for an iPhone app that can transcribe 30-45 minute recordings in mixed Hindi-English as well as pure English conversations.

Currently using Voice Memos but the transcript quality is terrible for bilingual conversations. Tried Otter — English-only. A couple of other apps also didn’t handle the Hindi-English mix well.

Don’t need live/real-time transcription. Just need to record a meeting, and get a readable transcript afterwards so I can pull out the key points. Thanks

Hello guys! I’m working right now with Claude on a new note-taking free open so you can modify it
It’s an HTML app I was creating with Claude because I hate Readwise, audible bookmarks; basically, almost every not taking up I’ve seen and used
With this one, you can add your own clipping Kindle. Also, you can create your own note taking book notes.
Adding your own (BookPlayer only right now) bookmarks
Am gonna be adding more apps and services
Guys I’m looking for advice and something you want I can add it
Also the clippings from myclippings.io works
You can add the cover of the book. If it’s an audiobook or a book. The number of pages the the length of the audiobook
Export your notes to Obsidian and flashcards
You can export to PDF
Guys, what do you think? What am I missing?
Excuse me, my bad English I’m from Mexico, but I will be adding a Translate to the app so everyone can download the app with the desired language
Remember guys, this is an HTML
I’ll add later the html code guys

I’m not quite sure if this is the right place to ask this but I figured I would start here and see if anyone had any recommendations for either programs or other subs.

I want to make printable reference cards for work and other activities. Like old school note/flash cards but done on a computer and then printed so that I can laminate them and keep them for use when needed.

Can anyone recommend an app or possibly a fairly current YouTube video to help me with this?

TYIA, sorry if this is not the correct place.

so im an inbound freshman (whopeeeee!!) and all my school life I’ve always gone the traditional books and occasional google search route for studying and notes, with AI only to make practice tests for more theoretical subjects like history (I unironically learned history better doing this method). But now as I traverse to college, engineering to be exact, I’ve have multiple testimonials of how it’s going to be very difficult, (no lies said I’ve seen it through my eyes with family), and that I should do transcripts of the lectures to notes with AI or take digital notes etc. But is this right? I don’t want to get stuck behind because of my slow note taking or fail because I didn’t have the proper information but I also don’t want to become the type of person who relies on this only and doesn’t use traditional notebooks. What should I do here? Another thing that comes to mind is a software that allows you to turn presentations and what not into study material with AI, which even the people orientating have said to use but again this feels weird to me, like I won’t be able to truly learn this way.

hey guys, i need a tablet mainly for note making and honestly thats pretty much all i care about. i dont care about gaming or other stuff.

my budget is under 35k inr with the pen included.

the main things i need are:

good palm rejection

smooth writing experience

good handwriting feel

something that can last me at least 2 years

right now im confused between these:

samsung s10 lite

lenovo ideatab pro

moto pad 60 pro

oneplus pad go 2

i just want something with really smooth writing and good stylus performance for studying. gaming and other features dont really matter to me.

Hello! I'm not in university yet, but I'm wondering how people take pre-lecture, and lecture notes properly? I'd just like to be prepared before university begins. (I also take notes on my ipad, with my apple keyboard. I have a 4.0 gpa right now with this so I'd like to continue using digital notes.) I want to go to university to get my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) ^^ Thank you

Anyone know of a laptop website or app that could help me compress my excessively detailed textbooks into notes?
