![]() Even though the app is free to download and record, you will probably want to upgrade it (currently $12.99) since the free version only plays back the first five minutes of a recording. I started using Sonocent by downloading the free Sonocent Recorder on my iPhone, but there is also an Android version. It’s probably easier to show you, so let me demonstrate it on my smartphone. As the app records the speaker, a line scrolls across the screen, parsing the audio into small chunks representing a few words or a phrase. However, Sonocent ( uses a chunking approach to visually represent what the speaker is saying. It reminds me of Foss’s (2013) discussion of ear reading from several AT Lab sessions ago.įor most high-tech AT approaches to note-taking that incorporate synched audio recording, we still need to write or draw something to be able to find the audio and/or written notes later. In fact, it is so different that I have been known to call it ear note-taking. Well, since then, I have found a unique approach to note-taking. At that time, we discussed a few low-tech strategies as well as some high-tech devices and apps. You might remember that we talked about note-taking during one of our first visits. Welcome again to my AT Lab! I really look forward to your visits, and today I want to tell you more about note-taking.

The benefit of using this software during lectures is that you can highlight and delineate the most important sections for later review. You can export your recordings from this app to Audio Notetaker for PC for playback and to edit further. This free app is a companion to Audio Notetaker and allows you to write notes, take snaps and colour code audio chunks in a very similar interface, but with limited in-device playback options unless you upgrade to the paid version. iPads generally also have good recording quality but the quality of phone microphones is variable. In this case you might like to use the Sonocent Recorder App because your sound quality with this microphone will be much higher than a regular mobile device’s microphone. If you received your DSA very recently, funding changes may mean you may have been given an external microphone and battery pack in place of the more expensive specialist digital recorder. I personally use my DSA funded digital recorder (also available on loan from DDSS if you do not receive DSA) and transfer the files to the Audio Notetaker software later, but you can also use your laptop microphone (depending on it’s quality) or plug your recorder or microphone into your laptop to use audio-notetaker during lectures. If you find it difficult to engage with what is being said, at the same time as thinking of answers to questions, questions to ask or writing coherent notes, then recording your lectures with audio notetaker might be for you! ![]() This piece of software could be useful for anyone that struggles with multi-tasking in lectures, seminars or meetings.
