Long voice notes
Notebook records long notes from your microphone and keeps the transcript. Record a lecture only where your school and lecturer allow it.
Talk through the essay. Then edit it.
Nota types what you say into Pages, Notion, a browser tab or wherever your cursor is. It also keeps long voice notes and turns recordings into text, on your Mac.
Get a first draft down
Hold the key and explain your argument the way you would to a friend. Nota types it where the cursor is. Rough text is easier to fix than an empty page.
Course terms, spelled right
Add the words your subject uses: authors, places, your lecturer's name. Fix a word once after it lands and Nota spells it right from then on.
A model for your languages
Studying in a second language? Whisper covers about 99 languages and Parakeet V3 covers 25 European ones. Both run on your Mac with no account.
For coursework
