AudioNote 2 LITE App Reviews

I downloaded this to move an interview that I recorded on a digital recorder that didnt have a USB output. It did a great job of recording from the output port but I didnt know the free version was limited to 5 minutes. Had I known this I would have downloaded another app or the paid version, but having no notice of the 5 min recording wasnt helpful (nor nice)

My only compliant is that there isnt a way to sync notes with my iPad.

what does FIND NEXT mean?

5 minutes MAXIMUM recording time in this LITE version? seriously? why even bother posting it and wasting our time installing and UNINSTALLING it...

Does anyone know how to change the text color for more than a letter? I keep trying to type in color but it only stays for one letter, then I have to click the color again for the next letter, etc.

Just downloaded this to try it out. I am interested in doing short lectures, audio and drawing, How do I save it to a file my students can read? Do they have to download this app in order for it to work?

How do you get what you have just recorded, onto the paper? I thought the whole point was for it to take notes either while talking or while listening to someone else talk.

Its just great app! I used while taking notes on my Spanish classes. Easy to use, very handy!

i love u <3 i am so awesome now a boring essay blehhhhhEurope English essayists included Robert Burton (1577–1640) and Sir Thomas Browne (1605–1682). In Italy, Baldassare Castiglione wrote about courtly manners in his essay Il libro del cortegiano. In the 17th century, the Jesuit Baltasar Gracián wrote about the theme of wisdom.[4] During the Age of Enlightenment, essays were a favored tool of polemicists who aimed at convincing readers of their position; they also featured heavily in the rise of periodical literature, as seen in the works of Joseph Addison, Richard Steele and Samuel Johnson. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Edmund Burke and Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote essays for the general public. The early 19th century in particular saw a proliferation of great essayists in English – William Hazlitt, Charles Lamb, Leigh Hunt and Thomas de Quincey all penned numerous essays on diverse subjects. In the 20th century, a number of essayists tried to explain the new movements in art and culture by using essays (e.g., T.S. Eliot). Whereas some essayists used essays for strident political themes, Robert Louis Stevenson and Willa Cather wrote lighter essays. Virginia Woolf, Edmund Wilson, and Charles du Bos wrote literary criticism essays.[4] [edit]Japan Main article: Zuihitsu As with the novel, essays existed in Japan several centuries before they developed in Europe, with a genre of essays known as zuihitsu – loosely connected essays and fragmented ideas – having existed since almost the beginnings of Japanese literature. Many of the most noted early works of Japanese literature are in this genre. Notable examples include The Pillow Book (c. 1000) by court lady Sei Shōnagon, and Tsurezuregusa (1330) by Japanese Buddhist monk Yoshida Kenkō being particularly renowned. Kenkō described his short writings similarly to Montaigne, referring to them as "nonsensical thoughts" written in "idle hours". Another noteworthy difference from Europe is that women have traditionally written in Japan, though the more formal, Chinese-influenced writings of male writers were more prized at the time. [edit]As an educational tool University students, like these students doing research at a university library, are often assigned essays as a way to get them to analyze what they have read. In countries like the United States, essays have become a major part of a formal education. Secondary students in these countries are taught structured essay formats to improve their writing skills, and essays are often used by universities in these countries in selecting applicants (see admissions essay). In both secondary and tertiary education, essays are used to judge the mastery and comprehension of material. Students are asked to explain, comment on, or assess a topic of study in the form of an essay. During some courses, university students will often be required to complete one or more essays that are prepared over several weeks or months. In addition, in fields such as the humanities and social sciences,[citation needed] mid-term and end of term examinations often require students to write a short essay in two or three hours. In these countries, so-called academic essays, which may also be called "papers", are usually more formal than literary ones.[citation needed] They may still allow the presentation of the writers own views, but this is done in a logical and factual manner, with the use of the first person often discouraged. Longer academic essays (often with a word limit of between 2,000 and 5,000 words)[citation needed] are often more discursive. They sometimes begin with a short summary analysis of what has previously been written on a topic, which is often called a literature review.[citation needed] Longer essays may also contain an introductory page in which words and phrases from the title are tightly defined. Most academic institutions[citation needed] will require that all substantial facts, quotations, and other porting material used in an essay be referenced in a bibliography or works cited page at the end of the text. This scholarly convention allows others (whether teachers or fellow scholars) to understand the basis of the facts and quotations used to support the essays argument, and thereby help to evaluate to what extent the argument is supported by evidence, and to evaluate the quality of that evidence. The academic essay tests the students ability to present their thoughts in an organized way and is designed to test their intellectual capabilities.[citation needed] One essay guide of a US university makes the distinction between research papers and discussion papers. The guide states that a "research paper is intended to uncover a wide variety of sources on a given topic". As such, research papers "tend to be longer and more inclusive in their scope and with the amount of information they deal with." While discussion papers "also include research, ...they tend to be shorter and more selective in their approach...and more analytical and critical". Whereas a research paper would typically quote "a wide variety of sources", a discussion paper aims to integrate the material in a broader fashion.[5] One of the challenges facing US universities is that in some cases, students may submit essays which have been purchased from an essay mill (or "paper mill") as their own work. An "essay mill" is a ghostwriting service that sells pre-written essays to university and college students. Since plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty or academic fraud, universities and colleges may investigate papers suspected to be from an essay mill by using Internet plagiarism detection software, which compares essays against a database of known mill essays and by orally testing students on the contents of their papers.

These forms and styles are used by a range of authors, including university students and professional ess

I love this app, I would have given it 5 stars if only you could sync from iPad/iPhone to Mac. Does not share files:(

Cool app but it will crash every time I try to save an imported audio note

For being note taking application, the outlining function is AWFUL! I hope you get more than just more than 5 minutes of recording time on the full, paid version of this app. Ive been using Word for Macs Notebook function to fill this note taking role for a couple of semesters now. Ive had an awful time with it the past semester with saving multiple lectures in the same document under a different tab--not the case before a more recent update. That has worked pretty well, but my biggest complaint is you dont have the full power of Word and its pretty darn difficult with math related notes. Still havent found software that offers a full suite of note taking functions for a wide variety of situations. AudioNote LITE is VERY basic and offers a lot of nice drawing functions, but it doesnt seem to offer me more than what I have with Word for Macs Notebook. If you dont have Office for Mac or dont want to drop the Money, its better than nothing, but currently its pretty lackluster. I may get it for iPad, which may make it more functional for me.

Simple app that does what it says and does it well. iCloud integration is good and the app is clear and easy to use.

Works great! I type notes and the app gives a sync time at point of the note. I can then listen and correct my notes for missing info. At a later time I have audio so I can listen to lectures on individual topics within my notes for clarity. I like listening to audio lectures while driving, then have notes for quick reviews.

Utterly useless. No explanation how to sync text to audio, how to erase, nothing.

You cant save audio files unless you purchase the app but otherwise, good for taking notes with diagrams and drawings.

This app works really well, and does exactly what it is supposed to. It links a written or typed word (or drawn image, for that matter) with the exact words that were spoken at the moment of writing. Each section of the written notes can later be clicked, and the corresponding audio will play back in order to provide extra details about the written material (or to reinforce that info). A physician recommended that I boost my recall by purchasing a LiveScribe Echo pen so that I could get visual and auditory review at the same time. Those pens cost around $100, however! I figured that there HAD to be an app that did something similar, and AudioNote is the answer! This app saved me at least $95! There are some flaws with Audionote, which I think will probably be improved over time. The interface isn’t all that pretty, and the notes aren’t very customizable (there are no options to change font or size of type, for example). However, these issues are quite small considering how well the app performs its intended purpose, and I figure that the designers will eventually clean some things up. Great work on this app overall. I love it!

Lacking basic text formatting tools; it isn’t easy to format text: for example you can’t change fonts, font size or font color, make text bold, italic, underline or strikethrough it, etc. unless you select the text and then right click and select Font. It’s a headache trying to place texts where you want it. No text direction options, which limits this app to LTR languages only. No page breaks, and this makes your notes look like a long ugly blog. Simple word processing features are missing: For instance if you needed a table, you have to draw it by hand.

This is hardly a smart thing to do, developers. This is a useless app. Definitely not buying an un restricted.

It works but it’s not useful. And it’s kind of slow and not responsive. But my son likes it.
