LiveScribe Pen: This assistive technology is a physical pen that records audio on a student's phone while taking written notes. The student can later upload both the audio and their notes to their computer for organization and review. Link to LiveScribe resource page.
Noteability: This app can be used on Apple devices (iPad, iPhone or MacBook). Noteability records audio while the student writes/types on their device. Students can also take pictures to include in their notes. As with Glean and the LiveScribe Pen, Notetability allows for students to organize and review the audio and their notes following class sessions.
Glean: Glean is a web-based software that students can use on their laptops and/or smartphones. Glean uses a CORI approach to note-taking: Capture, Organize, Refine, Integrate. Glean is designed to record audio information for students to review following the class session in order to more effectively capture and learn information. Students using Glean on their computers can type notes directly into the program.
