Genio (formerly Glean) Notes is an easy-to-use tool designed to help you take notes independently and effectively. Genio is a web app available to use on your laptop or mobile device and can be used for both face-to-face and online learning. A desktop app is available for offline use when needed - data will automatically synch with your Genio account when you next connect to the internet, making file management easy.
You can use the Genio features to:
- Create a complete audio record of what was said.
- Quickly tag key moments by using text or labels rather than writing everything down in full while recording.
- Import slides or take screenshots to enhance your notes.
- Transcribe audio and select sections of the transcript to include in your notes.
Once the recording is complete, you can revisit your notes to edit and enhance them. When complete, review them in reading view, print them to paper or copy/paste them into you preferred writing application.
