Click on the audio icon next to a paragraph in your note, and you’re taken straight to that part of the recording.

Better still, it remembers precisely what you were typing at all points of the audio recording. You can insert images into your notes, although there are no image-editing features included other than resizing or rotating, and OneNote can also record audio, which is handy for meetings. Each note can have multiple text boxes, allowing you to layout notes however you like – for example, by creating a column for verbatim quotes from a lecture, and a second column of commentary later. You simply click anywhere in the editing area and start typing, and your words appear in place. Notes themselves are incredibly powerful. (Note, though, you’ll need to opt-in for the unlimited storage upgrade – it’s not bestowed on your account automatically.) Take note

And, if you have an Office 365 subscription, you can forget about limits entirely: Office 365 now comes with unlimited storage, for whatever you want, including OneNote. There’s no limit on how many notes you can upload per month, as there is with Evernote. For anyone used to paper notebooks, files and folders, this makes OneNote a much more natural fit, but it also puts the onus firmly on you to keep your notes organised. OneNote uses the much more “real world” metaphor of tabbed dividers to split up notes, and allows you to group those tabs and create notes with sub-notes within them. In Evernote, the only forms of categorisation are notebooks and tags. However, that is where the similarity ends. Its most obvious competitor is Evernote, which, like OneNote, is cross-platform and takes full advantage of cloud synchronisation to give you access to your notes from anywhere.īoth applications use the metaphor of notebooks to store your information. As it is on the Windows platform, OneNote for Mac is designed for the creation, collation, and sharing of notes in all their wide variety of forms.
