• Speech-to-Text: Quickly dictate notes to save time and reduce typing stress.
• Ease of Use: Intuitive layout helps organise thoughts into sections and pages.
• Capture Everything: Add documents, screen images, and web clips in one place with folders and tabs/pages.
• Struggles with Synthesis: It doesn’t collate or organise ideas automatically, making it challenging to synthesise information. A more enhanced solution with AI-driven organisation tools would be helpful.
• Downsides: Occasional sync issues but is a good tool to use if already someone that uses other MS applications such as Teams and the Planner apps
It is good. Fast. Multi-platform. Syncs with other people. Only problem is that the organisation can turn into a jumble and then I get lost.
It looks very helpful. I would love to learn how to use this.
I use this for the text to speech functionality. It’s really useful however, I find I use it more at home than work given background noise, confidential information and distractions.
I use this on a daily basis and it’s absolutely invaluable for keeping everything together. It takes a little thought setting it up, but I keep each topic in a different colour coded ‘notebook’.
