This, along with the option of having another voice read your work back to you, are the best components of this programme The premise is admittedly quite impressive, and given the chance to organise swathes of information into data you can colour code to your innate finicky desire who wouldn’t lunch at such software? However, I was to discover that these crucial facilities were not without their glitches.įirstly, there’s the voice.

The Sonocent Audio Notetaker-retailing at £40.00-offers consumers a chance to, in their words, “sit back, relax and let the notes do the talking” with this “brilliant ideas tool.” Dare you mention the dark mistress of proofreading, and student eyes will roll, breaths deeply release at that most laborious and often shocking exercise of self-examination and ridicule.
