DigitalNote (formerly known as NoteTaker)
Description
DigitalNote is a freeware Java application which makes it easier to take class
notes using your Tablet PC or other notebook computer.
Notes taken with DigitalNote are superior to pencil-and-paper notes in
being searchable, editable, easily sharable, and more legible.
DigitalNote may be useful for you if:
- you type relatively quickly,
- you carry around a notebook PC all the time anyway, and
- equations and diagrams are rare in your classes ... or, if they
are common, your PC is a tablet or has a touchscreen (i.e. is stylus-equipped).
DigitalNote is stable. While there are many improvements and
new features that are needed, it is usable as-is.
