Syllabi records the audio and writes a live transcript on your device, saved with the note. Later, tap your handwriting to hear what was being said when you wrote it.

Summaries

Summarize a note in one tap.

At the end of a note, Summarize these notes turns your typed text or handwriting into a short summary, saved as a new note. 10 summaries every 2 weeks on Free, 20 a day with Pro.

Search

Find it again, even in your handwriting.

Search looks through typed notes and the words in your handwritten pages, read on your device.

Recently deleted and versions · Pro
