AudioNote—Note+Voice Recorder Отзывы пользователей

Заметки пишет хорошо, но работать с заметками неудобно

Свою функцию выполняет отлично - во время записи все, что вы набираете текстом, привязывается к месту в аудиозаписи. Потом при прослушивании можно осуществлять поиск нужного места по вашим меткам. Запись осуществляется в фоновом режиме, правда это нигде не отображается (ни в статусе, ни в доке) - поэтому легко можно забыть, что вы там пишете, а отрезать кусок уже не получится. Плохо: 1. каждая заметка сохраняется как отдельный файл в папке на выбор, нет никакой связи между заметками, тегов и прочего. То есть поиска среди ваших заметок внутри программы просто нет - будем ждать, ибо на iPad в том же приложении есть более менее нормальная навигация по заметкам. 2. как уже сказал, нет отражения в интерфейсе рабочего стола, что в фоне идет запись; 3. нет нормальной синхронизации между версиями для iPad, iPhone и MacOS; 4. нет возможности сделать несколько записей внутри одной заметки или отредактировать уже созданную. Вывод. Если вам нужно просто записывать длительные встречи и делать пометки, что было сказано в какой момент, чтобы потом быстро найти соответствующее место в записи, и вы при этом сами озаботитесь вопросами хранения и поиска записей в файловой структуре, а также вас не пугает ручная синхронизация с мобильными устройствами - можно купить.

Great Product

Great product, I use in my daily life to management many things from school to client meeting notes.

Recomendation

So very helpful. I love the ability to enter notes then using the recall by clicking the note and ending back to where the note was taken inside the recording.

So helpful

I manily use this for IEP school meetings. It makes my life much easier.

Great Product!!!

Love Audio Note!

Not what I thought

I am a graduate student and have been looking for an app that I can download my power point slides into and type notes and record audio of lecture at the same time. It sounded as though this app would be the solution. However, you can not download a power point presentation! Only one slide can be downloaded at a time and when you audio record it goes on that slide only. I am still searching...

Reliable product; well thought out

I use AudioNote to record critical buisiness meetings. After recording, I listen again and use AudioNote's editing capability to create a transcript of the meeting. After several years using AudioNote, I can vouch that it is a reliable product and functionally, very well thought out.

Contiued support and great product!

I bought this app from almost it’s inception, the devs keep adding updates and have done a great job. One of my favorite things to point out is their file size, I can record an hour of audio with notes and find that the filesize is amazingly smaller than what I would have expected. Also your notes can be saved elsewhere and converted to uncompressed formats, and this goes a long way for me. I have other sync to audio note taking apps, and in my opinion, this app is my personal preference.

Love this app, it would hard to function without it.

This app has become indispensable for me. I’ve used it for about 5 years, never had a problem or any kind of issue.

Unhappy customer

Obviously, I bought the Mac app and I also bought the iOS version. That’s $25. Now the developer has a new version — AudioNote 2 Version 2 looks essentially like version 1. Is version 2 just a bug fix? There is no mention of an upgrade path for previous purchasers — they don’t matter. I don’t think I’m going to be spending another $25 with this developer — beware.

Best of all recording & notetaking apps, hands down, PERIOD

I have gotten rid of all other recording apps and this is the only notetaking app I use for meetings, seminars, conferences, etc. Whether recording or not it’s not taking capabilities are superb . It’s ability to sync written notes to the audio recording timeline is unique and exceedingly powerful. I use tha mac app and also the iOS version on my iPhone and iPad. The seamless syncing is yet another feature. Bravo, outstaanding software is hard to find.

Amazing! especially for someone with a disability

I absolutely love this program. I have used it in various capacities over the past few years in both personal and buisness life. I live with a dibilitating disease which can make my day-to-day abilities variable. Some days I have difficulty following along and issues with my memory. Some days I have issues with my sight and/or hearing. Some days I have issues with my ability to use my hands. Some days I am extremely able and have very few difficulties. I have found this program useful in all of these different scineros. I use it in business meetings, in meetings where I am more of a participant and in meetings I run. It is extremely helpful, I can jot down notes while it records the audio. I can go back and listen to the audio and fill in any details I may have missed. The feature of clicking on the typed word and the recording automatically goes to that point in the audio is incredible… HUGE time saver. You can hardly hear the typing sound, but the audio is extremely clear… even if the speaker is across the room. I have used the memo setting on my iPhone for this purpose as well, but the audio is definetly subpar. I use it in doctors appointments… my condition means seeing a lot of different types of specialist and keeping things straight is a real challenge. This App makes it a non-issue. I now use this app to assist me in a book I am writing. It is an excellent tools to use for interviews. It also helps me in my writing process. On days that inspiration strikes, but my body is up to par, I can jot down a few notes and record audio which I can revisit when I’m stronger to type it out. The new generation of dictation! I honestly can’t think of anything negative about this App and am very grateful to have it as a tool to live. (I have had this since 2014/15? I do not usually write reviews… but this is an awesome product.)

Great Tech Support!!! Great App!!!

I have AudioNote, SoundNote and PearNote on my iPad, have for years. I only use AudioNote. It syncs beautifully with my Mac and I can continue work on either platform. Over the years, when I’ve had a glitch, I’ve contacted customer support and they’ve been very quick to respond and anxious to help me resolve the issue.

very useful great for notes and recordings of all kinds

One of the most useful programs I have. I write in multiple languages, and most often use Dragon Dictate. The problem is with foreign language words. It is even worse when i want to compose something. This program is very useful as I record what i want to say in the middle of the notes. I can also sing the song that I am composing and all of my comments and notes to myself. it does a pretty good job of recording a group discussion or representation. S ometimes if I am watching watching watching watching watching watching watching watching watching watching watching watching watching and a podcast or a speech it is easy to record it so I saw I saw lights on so I can review it in more detail. I h ave not had any problems using this.

I paid then they moved

I paid for this app then they said move to the other app and pay again. I think I deserve to get the new app as an upgrade for the one I paid for instead of paying again for an app that I have already paid for.

iPad App lacks key protection

I have this app for me mac and for my ipad/iphone. The mac version is great, but the ipad/iphone version needs to be worked on. Yes - it records and you can take notes, but whoever wrote the code made it so that it is too simple to inadvertently delete your note before it is moved to a different locations (Dropbox, iCloud, etc…). A mistaken swipe and your note is gone never to be found again. This is a fatal flaw. The mac version allows you to set a location immediately and to incrementally save which is key. I can’t recommend the ios version.

useful for recording interviews

I’m working on an interview-based book project, where I use FaceTime on my Mac to talk, while I record the interviews with AudioNote and type as much of the conversation as I can. In the past, I would record interviews for books or videos and send them to be transcribed. With AudioNote, I can go back to the important points, listen again, and transcribe just those parts. I hope to avoid hiring a transcriptionist altogether.

Has Digitally Replaced My Old-School Dictaphone Seamlessly

As a music journalist of more than 20-years, the one thing I have come to expect is CHANGE! From my days of thinking my “High-Tech” Sony handheld dictaphone (complete with a REAL cassette tape backup) was the way to conduct artist interviews after spending hours transcribing the mess from audio to actual NOTEBOOK PAPER (yeah, I’m OLD!!!!), this tool is THE standard of online journalism, folks. I am also in the middle stages of submitting finalized/approved text to my publisher for my first book (keep your eyes peeled for GODSMACK’s Shannon Larkin’s biography set to hit stores and outlets in March of 2017) and AudioNote has been my ONLY resource for logging hours and hours of phoner and live audio interviews for transcription herein. All I can say is; “Where the hell have you been all my life, AudioNote?” I absolutely LOVE and thoroughly RECOMMEND this Application/Tool to any and everyone writing as a hobby, therapy or their livelihood. Price point is almost a joke….it’s as close to perfect and FREE as you can get! Very, Very Highly Recommended!

Fantastic Notetaking Tool

Reliable, Smart, Easy. Transferring files, capturing on one device and accessing on another is easy. So helpful to be able to use typed or drawn notes to instantly hear the audio when that note was taken. Your friends will be jealous.

One of my most used apps...

I love the cross platform functionality which allows me to use and access my data from desktop to laptop to cellphone.. It works very well for me (I have the paid version) for meetings, notes and anything where i want to record and detail in notes later… The ability to export your notes and audio for longer term storage is (with tomcods) is very useful as well. I’ve been using this app for years with nothing but praise.. Thta’s why I decided to pay for it.. A small price for something that improves my work and life… One feature that I really appreciate is that when using it on my phone when a call comes in it temporarily pauses and automatically resumes when the call is complete.. I have never had problems with this app...

Super for interviews

Audionote is wonderful for interviewing people and then summarizing later. I know GiveWell uses Audionote for this purpose too. They’re really doing a lot to make the world better, this Audionote is really having a positive impact on the world by making their job easier. My only complaint is that I wish the speed up version would correct the voice so it wasn’t so high pitched. It makes it harder to understand the sped up version. It would also be wonderful wonderful wonderful to have basic speech-to-text as a side box or something, to make for easier navigation, even when I don’t take good notes. It wouldn’t have to be good speech-to-text. That would be an amazing feature. I would pay substantially more for either of these features.

Love you who created this, smart, very smart!

I am sure it doesn’t work perfectly every single time for everyone. But for me it has, for how I use it. Mainly for just the basics but I am glad it gives me more options should I need to use them. There is no way I could take perfect notes and this program has my back when distractions happen…and they always happen. I have not experience notes being erased, until it does happen, I have confidence they creators will do their best to fix it once notified. Thank you.

Great potential, but has erased recordings multiple times

I love that you can take notes and record at the same time, and it time stamps the notes. However, there have been multiple instances when I’ve opened a new recording file, tried to record, and it erased the audio on the other file I had open. This is extremely frustrating. I’ve lost valuable audio this way.

Useful but ios doesn’t’ work with bluetooth & poor support

I have never written a review but feel the need to do so here. This app is very useful but has some issues the biggest for me being that the ipad and iphone versions do not work with bluetooth. The developer has been put on notice of the issue; at first it appeared he was unable to accept the defect; then once realizing it was true, provided assurances it would be fixed. Many, many months (more than a year) later, the issue is still not resolved and he no longer responds to support requests. Though it may not seem signficant to the developer, or to others, where one needs to play the audio in class room or other similar settings, not having the bluetooth capability and thus the freedom to move around the room while playing back the recording is a major impedement. It should be a simple fix, given that it’s supposed to work, according to the developer, and works with other similar apps. BUT if you don’t care about bluetooth, then the app does as advertised.

Helps great at meetings

I use it in conferences I want to keep fresh in my mind. You can always go back later and add text and pictures to make your notes even better. All my classes are recorded for further study. I recomend it 100% .

I use it every day in the writing of my musical: great functionality!

I am a huge fan of the cross-device functionality of this app. I can dictate song lyrics into my iPhone and a record a demo anywhere while reading the text. Then. when I arrive at my studio, it is already on my Mac and my iPad and ready to be recorded in earnest. I use it primarily for this purpose although it is also great for recording spontaneous songs in concert on my iPad which I can later transcribe if they turn out to have any lasting value, as well as email them to the person for whom I wrote the song. All in all, a great app and one of top 5 most useful apps ever!

It asks me to buy the app again

I dont understand why it wants me to buy the app again, I have bought it already and now that I upgraded it just allows a total of 5 Minutes recording. Please fix this

Awful bug renders the app useless.

Every time I open AudioNote it hangs and then creates two dozen “Untitled” documents. Any further interaction then causes the app to crash. I have sent a report to Apple, but avoid this software until it’s fixed for good.

Very funcitonal

I use this program at church to record and take notes on my iPhone. It works very well. I really like how you can listen to the recording and click a word in your notes and the recording jumps to where you were while you were typing that text. Very nice. I like taking pictures from the powerpoint screen during the sermons. The only thing that I can think that would make this aspect a little more functional would be to allow for a quick option to crop the picture. This would really change my life. Because if you could crop the picture then you wouldn’t have to open it up so large to to be able to read it on the page. I could crop just the power point screen and my document would flow so much nicer. That is my only prayer for this app :-) Thanks Marco

Use It All the Time

I use this app all the time for our work meetings. I would like to see the ability to export into other programs. I don’t know if that is possible, though. But that’s really not that big of a deal breaker.

Lifesaver

This app is probably one of the most useful apps I have on my Mac. It may not be perfect, but when it comes down to it, it works great for what I need it to do. I got this app a while ago, so I do not remember if I paid $5 for it or not, but it is definitely worth that and more!! Definitely a must have for anyone who has to follow lectures, meetings, etc.!!!!

Years of solid functionality.

I’ve been using this for several years now, on a weekly basis. Nothing beats it for taking notes in a fast-moving meeting. I start the recording, and ocassionally type comments or draw sketches, and they’re all linked to the corresponding time in the recording. Makes it easy to go back through hour-long meetings to find specific points. The only complaint I have is that it’s hard to trim-down recordings where I forgot to turn it off. Maybe some kind of time limit (with a warning) after which it automatically stops recording. Really worth 10X what I paid for it.

Incredibly useful action

I use this to record all of my client meetings. Now instead of taking detailed notes, I just write down the most significant parts, and I can always go back and play the full text of the audio to catch bits that I missed. If I don’t completely understand or hear what the client is saying, I just make a note to myself to ‘review this audio’ and I can instantly jump back to that at any time. This app is a major productivity booster for me.

Good

I like the app but it crashed and I lost all of my notes for college but besided that it was a good app for taking notes

Loved the old version..Dont update if you like highlighting

The update has new fonts which I appreciate, But if you like to highlight either dont buy or update. Its that bad, I have had to rewrite all my notes because the highlighter has messed up all my note. I use to love the highlighter now its just horrible.

Lag

has lag in os x ei capitan

Hyperlinks will be Helpful

I love this app! Please include a tool to hyperlink data/items in your notes. It would be very helpful to be able to link content in my notes to websites. Thank you for your consideration.

love the product

Wish you would incorporate the ability for the product to type as it records.

Great app but one serious problem

AudioNote is a fantastic app. In my opinion, for most users who require audio/text syncing, this app is a fantastic choice. What stands out to me is the simple interface, and individual files saved. Other note syncing apps, like One Note and Notability, save all of your notes in one database file which creates for laggy apps. Onto the problem. If you’re recording in excess of 200 minutes, the app lags so much so, it slows down my entire computer. This is not an issue I’ve experienced on one computer, but three, including a new 2015 MBP. The developer was very responsive but was unable to help me fix my issue and the issue remained on the latest update. So for me, I cannot use this app. Nonetheless, despite my issues, it’s a solid app but not 5 stars.

Fantastic app that saves HOURS.

I love this software!! It’s an ingenius idea that works really well and has helped me become significantly more productive. Plus, you can share your files with friends who can download the free version to hear and see your notes.

Nice but...

Nice concept but would be better if you could change color/size of text and position it where you need it instead of just on the left hand side. But love how you can record while taking notes and how whenever you type while recording, the time shows up next to it for reference.

KISS Too many “features"

On my laptop I couldn’t get simple dictation to work. Recording sound meter was active but playback was silent. Worthless “help” link. Want my $5 back.

…This is the worst simple program that I’ve ever used

There’s no way that I can tell or get a direct answer whether or not it is possible to email the text and audio. I had to use Dragon to get a kick started and keep it from time timing out. I finally learned how to use the dictation and while I was using it close Dragon but was unable to start dictation again on the same folder like adding more information and search the help database and there is no direct answer as to how you can attach the file to an email when it is only in one format and I don’t believe it is set up for it since they will not give you a direct answer. All that I am talking about should be extremely simple as it is not a complicated program and can be used to dictating emails and almost illuminate the need for Dragon by it has timeout issues and spelling issues and the grammar is off the program does not know how to spell or the I should say it doesn’t know when it is spelled correctly as it shows underlined correctly spelled words when there’s nothing wrong with grammar or spelling but the main thing that would make this a great program would be to have a friend here my voice and be able to see my email to same time as you get a lot more out of note taking, or reading a letter when it’s actually read to you and that is just a fact of life that is given up in childhood but it rings true that the words have more meaning when you can hear the person who have written them speak them. Why should such a simple program be so hardAnd for the money it still was not worth it unless there is just something simple I am missing that Apple tends to always assume that you know. Programmers are assuming that everyone thinks or is educated like a programmer when we actually have lives and we use these programs to enhance her life and not take it over

Great Product, Even Better Customer Service

I just started using AudioNotes a few days ago and have found it very user friendly and helpful. It does everything i expected it to. I was experiencing one glitch (more user error than anyting else) and sent a question to their customer service. Within hours I had a response from someone that both helped me solve my problem and made more suggestions based on my question. I highly recommend this product, both for the Mac and for the iPad/iPhone.

missing much more

This app is good but there is so much more I wish would be added to the app. Basic features such as difffernt font, different font size, different text colors, double spacing is missing. This app can be the ultimate Note taking applicaiton if it had these few items.

Great app

I take notes for minutes. This app is great for me to go back and review the audio so my notes are correct.

Excellent for Note Taking and Recording

I can take notes and record at the same time, go back and add to my notes what I missed. I can just record without taking notes. I can take notes and not record. I appreciate very much the options. I have been using this app for about a year and have had no problems at all. I take notes every week, twice a week. It always works!

Does what it says

Minor bug but developer response was immediate and the app, while not exactly the pinnacle of elegant design, does what it advertises. One suggestion: it could use a button to back up 10 or 15 seconds from the current location — when I am cleaning up my notes by listening to a recording and typing in missed words, I always fall behind and have to stop the playback, move the slider back and press play again. A back-up button to shortcut this would be a welcome addition.

Better than anything I’ve seen yet

Easy to use. Intuitive. Rapid response technical support. Continuous improvements in the product make customer loyalty easy.

Always dependable

Easy to use. Sound quality is great. Syncs well to the cloud. Very easy to export audio for use in other applications.
