  1. It would be great to have an AI-generated summary option for transcriptions from your audio recordings, just like in the image.

  2. Please add 1.2x or 1.25x since 1.5x sometimes is too fast to catch up. Thanks!

  3. I like to import my professors notes and write alongside them during lectures. I would love to be able to use the audio recording feature and laser pointer together so that i can follow along with the laser in the recording when reviewing notes. I want to be able to circle things or underline them during class so i can see the the prof is referring to in the recordings.

  4. Notes and audio recordings synchronised to the second. If I press on the note the recording will be played at the exact moment I wrote the note

  5. It would be incredibly useful if audio recordings made on one device (e.g., an older iPad) could be transcribed later on a different, newer device (e.g., an iPhone). This feature would make GoodNotes more flexible and practical for users who work across multiple devices with different capabilities.

  6. Hi, I am a new Goodnotes user, and selected this app for two reasons: 1) ease of use, 2) audio recording. I think the app is great! As I will be using audio recording a lot, could you please add the features below to audio recording?:

    1) Repeat.

    Could you add a button that would allow your recording to loop, replaying the recording continuously? This would help greatly when you want to hear the content over and over.

    2) Improved edit for audio.

    As other users have stated, sometimes you forget to turn off the record button, and end up…

  7. The only way to turn on/off the audio transcript is by starting an audio recording, stopping it, switching the transcript on or off then start the audio again. Please create a different way to control this, maybe in the document settings.

  8. As the title suggests, the Windows app is missing a lot of key features. Audio Recording is a must when taking notes in class. The handwriting is unusable. It's the worst among handwriting apps on Windows. And if you want to type your notes, you're stuck with one single font.

  9. It would be very helpful if the audio recordings had an option that used iOS/iPadOS/macOS voice isolation to isolate the speaker for recording lectures.

  10. I accidentally didn't turn off my audio recording on my iPad and it has been recording for 5 hours. I want to edit it so that it's only the length of my lecture but there's no option to do so. Please add a way to shorten the length of the recording. Thank you.

  11. Please make an option to export or share the audio recorded on the app. This would be really helpful to also have the audios on the cloud.

  12. Using OpenAI's Whisper model which is open sourced, Goodnotes can enhance the audio recordings done on the iPad and also feed them through OpenAI's Whisper model for on-device audio transcriptions.

    This will maintain user privacy and provide unlimited transcriptions at the expense of battery life but it would be well worth it to click transcribe and have a textview in a window to the right that is synced to the time. Notability has done this and it looks fantastic.

  13. Since there is an audio record feature, why not add transcription feature and AI-based auto notes generation. This way we do not need to pay for multiple apps and stick to our beloved Goodnotes for everything.

  14. What I take notes for I would like to listen to the recording multiple times to learn. To have a loop feature would be great to be able to loop the whole recording to play over and over, or ideally to choose to loop the whole recording or each piece individually for notes with multiple recordings.

  15. Could you please add support for turkish language transcription in the audio to text feature?
    And it could be great to have an option to send recorded audio separately to others

  16. Audio Transcripts—the power to turn any audio recording directly into text within your note! Capture every detail and never worry about gaps in your knowledge. Copy, paste, and search within time-stamped text, so you always have the info you need! Now available with Notability Plus

    Notability has just released this feature to the market and I think it's very important to have this function for students or lectures.

  17. It is clearly one thing that makes GoodNotes compete with Notability and it is super useful for students! Since it is implemented in iOS, it should be in Android as well to make many users who are hesitant to change from iOS without a Notability replacement with this tool. Thanks!

  19. Sometimes we users forget to stop the audio recording, and wake up the next day to a notebook that has been recording for 12+ hours. Currently there is no way to trim the audio recording. It would be great if it were possible to trim it so only the part we're interested in remains in the notebook :D

  20. I love this new feature added to GoodNotes 5. It can become better by:
    1. Syncing the page with the audio, which is by showing the number of the current page in which the recording is being played.
    2. Adding the ability to Rename the Audio Files.
    3. Adding the ability to export the Audio Files.
    4. Recording pixel by pixel which results in smoother writing when recording is replayed.
