Assistive Technology – A Review of AudioNote

I wish I could say that I am one of those uber-organized individuals who consistently use my planner for all my notes.  Unfortunately, I have always been a post-it and original “palm pilot” note-taker.  This means that my post-its get misplaced, and well, since I wash my hands, I lose my “palm pilot” notes!

Assistive technology specialist! – My new role!

I have been looking at various applications to help students with note-taking in class in my new role.  So I have been trying a few of these out.  One of my favorites is AudioNote.  They recently added an update to AudioNote.  I downloaded it and then removed the upgrade.  While the upgrade has some great features, I was a little disappointed in the additional price for the upgrades.  So this review is on

They recently added the update (which was an upgrade to AudoNote2) to AudioNote.  I downloaded it and then removed the upgrade.  While the upgrade has some great features, I was a little disappointed in the additional price for the upgrades.  It is a yearly fee.  You can try the free version of AudioNote2, but there are ads.  Since I had already purchased AudioNote (and have it on my MacBook, laptop, and phone, I had hoped there would be a discount for purchasing the subscription to AudioNote2, but there wasn’t :(.  I still love this app, and you can download the original AudioNote

Why I love the AudioNote application!

1. It has lines
2. Synchronization between iPad, iPhone, and Macbook
3. Highlighter feature
4. Drawing/doodle feature
5. The ability to record audio that coordinates with notes.
6. You can type or draw with a stylus/finger.
7. You can include pictures within the notes.

So how do you think this will help you or one of your students?
