Ginger Labs, the developer behind Notability, has introduced a new feature that automatically records meetings and other note-taking sessions and organizes the resulting notes around a user’s calendar. Available on Windows and Mac desktops, the capability is designed to reduce workflow friction by connecting scheduled events, recordings, and notes in one organized experience for professionals and students.
Building on Notability’s more than 10 years of building technology to capture audio, the feature pairs effortless recording with calendar-native organization in a single workflow. This makes work easier for time-constrained students and professionals, many of whom find themselves in back-to-back lectures and meetings, with little time to absorb fresh material as it’s generated.
The capture-and-organize feature eliminates this friction, helping users optimize their schedule and spend more time mastering content.
“Your calendar tells you when. Notability now shows you what happened. We built it to work as one system, whether you’re in back-to-back lectures or back-to-back meetings,” said Marc Provost, Notability’s chief product officer. “We built Notability to do both at once for students in back-to-back lectures and professionals in back-to-back meetings, using the same workflow.”
Students and professionals connect their calendar, and when they tap a meeting, recording starts and the note opens, ready for input. At the end of the meeting, Notability combines the call’s transcript and any typed notes that were taken during the meeting into one comprehensive note.
So students can capture their critical lectures on anything from economics to political science without missing anything important, and professional knowledge workers can engage in essential strategy meetings and review their notes later to see what they might have missed.
How Notability Now Separates From The Competition
This marks the first time a digital note-taking service has paired the effortless capture user experience with calendar-native organization within the same workflow, fulfilling two key requirements for ensuring seamless AI note-taking.
While other note-taking apps use API-integrated bots that require building or maintaining separate integrations for each platform, Notability’s system audio capture capabilities access the computer’s microphone and audio output directly, with no bot joining the call as a participant to see recordings.
Also, while many note-taking applications serve professionals, few offerings support students as capably as Notability, which is extending its support with today’s launch.
Key features of Notability’s capture-and-organization capabilities include:
- Every new note defaults to a recording, so capture requires no extra step.
- Calendar connect turns each event into a tappable row that starts recording the accompanying meeting or lecture.
- Coming soon, syllabus import will auto-structure an entire term into lectures, study sessions and exams.
- A free tier that lets new users try the features before hitting a paywall.
Capture-and-organize functionality is available via Notability’s new desktop app for Windows and Mac, delivered through the existing Plus/Pro tiers and usage-quota system. Visit https://notability.com/
