Struggling with Hand Cramps When Jotting Down Notes? Check Out These Noteworthy Technologies Recommended by a Scholar
Microsoft OneNote is a versatile note-taking tool that offers page templates, audio and video recording, sharing capabilities, and the ability to upload, annotate, and work with various file types such as images, PowerPoint presentations, and PDFs. OneNote's unique feature is its non-linear structure, allowing users to take notes anywhere on the page. It also has a tab system, making it easy to organise notes by class or meeting.
Office Lens, another digital note-taking tool, enables users to capture images of content and customise them. It offers features like cropping, cleaning up, annotating, and saving images as PDFs, JPEGs, PowerPoint presentations, or OCR Word documents.
Google Keep, on the other hand, is primarily suggested as a reminder tool. While it does offer collaborating capabilities, the ability to insert images, checkboxes, and bullet points, it's not as robust as OneNote or Evernote when it comes to note-taking features.
Evernote, a popular competitor to OneNote, boasts advanced features beyond text formatting and editing. Users can add tables, images, checkboxes, sync to Google Drive, record audio, upload and store documents, create sketches, and add notes to a digital notepad. Evernote also offers the option to upgrade for access to additional widgets, like a calendar function and tasks.
In Germany, the three most popular manufacturers of digital note-taking tools are Microsoft (OneNote), Evernote, and GoodNotes.
When it comes to effective note-taking strategies, focusing on overarching concepts and key points is crucial, rather than typing out everything a professor says. Another helpful hack is to annotate a presentation or lecture's PDF or use a digital app to create a note outline or graphic organiser.
A useful strategy for reviewing notes is to open them and skim them 10 minutes before class to help remember important topics discussed in the previous class. It's also beneficial to use each tool's sharing capabilities to collaborate with classmates or study groups.
In conclusion, each digital note-taking tool has its strengths and weaknesses. Choosing the right one depends on an individual's specific needs and preferences. Whether you prefer Microsoft OneNote's non-linear structure, Evernote's advanced features, or Google Keep's simplicity, there's a tool out there that suits your needs.
