What it does
Notewise combines handwriting, typed text, audio, files, and images in notes, with separate tools for canvases, documents, and PDFs. Its official changelog describes flashcards, quizzes, AI chat, document import, and live audio questions. The service has a free tier and paid plans; its October 2026 4.1 release adds interactive tabs for turning notes into study materials and other refinements.
Capture a lecture in more than one format
Notewise is designed for notes that mix handwriting, audio, documents, and images. Its official changelog describes starting a note with any of those formats, then adding the others as needed; the feature set includes canvases, PDFs, flashcards, quizzes, and AI chat. That breadth can help students keep source material and review tools with the notes they came from, although it is more than a plain text notebook needs.
The Notewise 4.1 changelog is dated 2026-10-03 and documents interactive flashcard tabs, audio chat, and canvas improvements. The pricing page lists Starter at $36.99 per year ($3.08 per month) alongside free and Classic plans. The help center has sections for notes, canvases, documents, stylus input, AI, and cloud. I did not install the app, record audio, annotate a document, or test its AI and cross-device synchronization.
