Searching for the perfect notes app is not an easy task and you almost always end up using the native iOS app. If you are still actively doing this search, Noted can be an interesting option to consider, since it allows you to take notes and record audio at the same time.
Take notes in a different way
There are many applications that we can find in the App Store to take notes. But without a doubt, Noted takes the award to one of the best thanks to the differentiating functions it includes. One of these functions is based on taking voice notes and easily integrating them into one of the projects we have, something ideal especially when we are taking notes from a class or a seminar.
As soon as we start the application we have the possibility of creating a new notebook with the aim of organizing all our notes into different projects. Within this notebook we will be creating new notes, and to start recording simply press the red button that you will always have in the note’s header. The accessibility of this button and the speed with which you can create a note and start recording makes it quite interesting. Along with these recordings you can take notes in a classic way with the keyboard, but the grace in the end is to combine both tools. This can certainly be very useful in the journalistic aspect to record some statements and at the same time take your own notes on it.
Noted is characterized by having a very clean and very nice interface. At sight it is quite pleasant to work with Noted on top of other apps that can get to saturate at sight for being overloaded. Although it may sin from being too simple, it fulfills its main function which is what is important.
Siri syncs with Noted
If you are a Siri lover this is your ideal application since they are synchronized in an exceptional way. Just as we can create quick notes with the native Notes application in iOS with the wizard, we can also do it in Noted.
When creating a new notepad, at first we have a shortcut to create a shortcut with Siri. Once created, we can configure a voice command to create a note in Noted quickly thanks to the voice assistant itself. It is true that it can work more efficiently, but to make a quick take of a few notes or simply to run the app and start recording immediately it is going quite well.
The premium version offers much more possibilities
We are in the era of applications that work through subscription and Noted was not going to be left behind. In its free version we can have access to up to 5 notes and make a simple recording, but if you want to have access to many more functions you have to get a subscription plan. In this there are many functions that will be won to be more productive.
Among the options offered by the subscription plan, there is unlimited registration to create all the notes you want. In addition, the reproduction of the recordings is greatly improved to save us listening to the blank spaces. This is really interesting since when a recording is made there are spaces where no voice is recorded, for thousands of reasons. Thanks to artificial intelligence, Noted is able to suppress them and create a uniform recording by eliminating all these empty spaces. And if you are bothered by ambient noises, you can also remove background noise and even record at a higher quality, specifically at 44.1 kHz.
Thanks to this same artificial intelligence, it is possible to transform an audio into text or while you speak, transform words into text. The handwritten note generated with this dictation mode can be exported in PDF format by different methods.
Something we miss in the free version is the possibility of including files in the notes, something that is solved in this premium version. In addition, it integrates perfectly with the Apple Watch to be able to make recordings and export them to the iPhone itself.
Day-to-day utility
Noted is definitely a great tool to replace the native Apple tool, Notes. Something very positive that we have with Noted is that the native iOS recorder and notes applications are merged. This is why it becomes a good application for those who dedicate themselves to different professions where quick notes must be taken accompanied by recordings such as journalists or students to record the classes, with permission.
Although it is not a totally free application, it can help many people on a daily basis to be more productive, which is always appreciated, deserving to pay the price of this subscription.
