"I feel so strongly about Audio Notetaker that if required, I could sell the program standing
on my head - and I can only do that if I believe in a product and can see its worth. Every student
should have this as default; it is that useful."
Sarah Smye-Rumsby, AT Trainer & Education Specialist
Note Taking
Many learners struggle with the taxing task of writing comprehensive notes during lessons or
lectures. Students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or those studying in a second
language especially struggle. Audio Notetaker offers an alternative approach to note taking
which does not rely on text at all.
Students can go through a recording and mark the important bits with colour and quickly delete
the bits they do not need. By importing a PowerPoint presentation or PDF document they can create
a comprehensive record of the lecture. Audio Notetaker also can export to iTunes.
Great for:
- Those with Special Educational Needs
- International Students
Benefits:
- No need to take lengthy textual notes
- Import PDF/PowerPoint slides to create
comprehensive notes
- Quickly find specific moments in your recording
- Powerful audio file management and search features

"The solution literally revolutionized the way I work. The colour-coding was a dream…it makes
it so much easier to revisit the material. Not every interview gets run immediately; Audio Notetaker
lets me go back to old stories for reference."
Claire Bloomfield, Journalist

Notetaker indispensible. Not only is audio easy to transcribe, but it can be ordered and annotated in

"I was delighted to see the change in the quieter students who through the
[Audio Notetaker] 'voice-coaching' approach found their voice and emerged into the limelight
with the gradual erosion of the psychological barriers that afflict our teenager speakers."
Carol Weale, English Teacher
Speaking and
Listening Skills
Users can use Audio Notetaker individually or as a group to record their speaking practice. The ability
to colour and analalyse the audio makes refining their performances a simple process that improves
self-confidence. The notes section allows users to identify what they have achieved and are still to
achieve through their own or others' review.
Great for:
- GCSE English students
- Second Language learners
- Workplace Training
