I've been using this AI Notebook app for a while. I like how it works on my phone.
I have about five meetings with clients every day, and I need to send them recap emails after the meeting. I simply use this AI Notebook app to record the meeting, and it generates a follow-up email in the format I like and send to my client directly.
I can also upload long reports in PDF format to the app. I can either use the app to summarize them or export them as an audio overview, like a podcast, so I can listen to it while driving or when I'm free.
One more feature I like a lot: I can use this app to translate or explain any picture I upload. One trick I use is to read my graphs and generate insights with bullet points. It saves me a lot of time preparing presentations or writing reports.
This panel discussion explores the impact of the pandemic on San Francisco's tech scene, discussing the 'Doom Loop', the rise of remote work, and the potential for a new era of innovation. Experts weigh in on the city's future and the challenges of affordability.
Thanks for the suggestion on adding pricing info on website. We offer a weekly plan ($4.99) and a yearly plan ($69.99) with a 3-day free trial of unlimited access. You can still try the app with 10 free credits for every new users to see if it meets your needs.
Right, I've talked to some students and they mentioned it. You may need to ask the professor's consent directly if you want to use the voice transcription features, though. You can also use it outside the class, like in group discussions with your colleagues to transcribe into text.
Do good grades equate to a good student, and a bad grade to a bad student?
I'm the kind of person who is easily distracted in class and often misses the point. Even with handwritten notes, I can't recall key points.
That's why I built the AI Notebook App. Designed for college students and ADHD-friendly, it captures everything you see and hear in class. Upload images, audio, PDFs, and web links. Consider it your second brain!
I aim to help students capture everything in class, organize it into notes with summaries, and even chat with AI to understand complex topics.
I'd like to ask for advice on reaching college students. I'm open to affiliate collaborations. Thank you!
The funny part is that the importance in taking notes is the physical aspect of the fine motor control associated with writing making it easier for you to remember what you wrote. Even pressing keys on a keyboard eliminates this factor.
> As traditional handwriting is progressively being replaced by digital devices, it is essential to investigate the implications for the human brain. Brain electrical activity was recorded in 36 university students as they were handwriting visually presented words using a digital pen and typewriting the words on a keyboard. Connectivity analyses were performed on EEG data recorded with a 256-channel sensor array. When writing by hand, brain connectivity patterns were far more elaborate than when typewriting on a keyboard, as shown by widespread theta/alpha connectivity coherence patterns between network hubs and nodes in parietal and central brain regions. Existing literature indicates that connectivity patterns in these brain areas and at such frequencies are crucial for memory formation and for encoding new information and, therefore, are beneficial for learning.
> Our findings suggest that the spatiotemporal pattern from visual and proprioceptive information obtained through the precisely controlled hand movements when using a pen, contribute extensively to the brain’s connectivity patterns that promote learning. We urge that children, from an early age, must be exposed to handwriting activities in school to establish the neuronal connectivity patterns that provide the brain with optimal conditions for learning.
Thanks. That's what I also notice by myself. If I want to really learn something, I write and read books. If it's about to get an overview, I read and write digitally. Chances are good, I forget bout this comment in 3..2..1 ... :)
I'm not sure making the note capturing less engaging and easier to ignore is going to be helpful for ADHD-i adjacent people. At least noting things down forces a single task to some degree.
What helps me as an ADHD-student is to turn off any laptop or device completely. Desk empty, no notes, no distractions whatsoever. Just focusing on what the teacher is saying. The real studying comes after or before the lesson and that's when these tools help. I also just think many people never really learned how to study.. the magic never happens as one is in class.
Good students select and focus on the most relevant information in a class, and rehearse it for themselves or practice skills outside it. There is some limited evidence that making note taking easier or notes easier to read leads to worse memory for key material.
For my students with adhd, I’m honestly not sure more tech is the issue.
I agree. The whole poin of my taking notes by myself in college was to help me memorize the fundamentals and help me reason out the more complex stuff through dedicated focus time. Notes I got from other people (when I missed class or for comparison) just didn’t stick to my mental map of the course, and I suspect AI is useless for that as well.
It would be better to take my existing notes and automatically create quizzes or flash cards.
AI notebook can "read" your handwritten notes too. You can simply take pictures and to upload it. The app can automatically create quizzes or flash cards.
