“I’m finding Notetaker to be very useful and I no longer need to
rely on my poorly written notes.”
Student at the University of Arts, London.
“I can see its uses for those students who need to capture what a lecturer is
writing on a board, so maths equations for example. Taking a photo or
using the maths keyboard would be useful.”
DSA Assessor.
“Most students have phones capable of taking the app so it gives a simple
solution without the need to have additional equipment.”
DSA Assessor.
“This is a great solution, particularly as students are rarely without their phones.”
