Collections are where you can group your recordings together by class, professor, credit or any other category.
6. Jump back in - review labelled moments to shore up learning
If you used Labels while capturing audio notes, you’ll have a few anchor points throughout your recording to come back to first.
To play these moments back, click the Label icon on the audio pane. Playback will begin immediately.
7. Add text notes to join the dots together for studying
Select a moment you highlighted during class to come back to and listen again.
Type out a brief note with the main takeaway point from that moment. For example, if the professor provided a definition of a term, annotate the audio with that definition.

Soon you’ll have a great set of multimedia notes, ready to study from whenever you need them!
