Zoho Notebook is an AI note-taking app that helps students and professionals remember what was said in meetings and lectures — by recording and transcribing them, turning them into summaries and action items, and keeping every note searchable in one place.
WHO IT'S FOR
• Students taking lecture notes and revising from them.
• Professionals who need a record of a meeting without typing through it.
• Freelancers and teams tracking tasks, clients and ideas in one notepad.
• Anyone keeping a private journal, a daily planner or a grocery checklist.
It suits people who take notes in more than one form — typed, handwritten, spoken, photographed or scanned — and want them searchable together.
WHAT PEOPLE USE NOTEBOOK FOR
1. Meeting notes. Record the meeting and Notebook AI transcribes it live, then writes the summary and action items — so you can take part instead of typing through it.
2. Lecture and study notes. Record a lecture while you type, and scan textbooks, documents and handwritten pages into searchable PDFs — so you can find one phrase months later.
3. To-do lists and planning. Build checklists and task lists with reminders — so tasks buried in your notes don't get lost between apps.
4. A private diary or journal. Lock any note or notebook with a password, fingerprint or face lock — so entries stay private on a shared device.
5. Research and documents. Save articles with the Web Clipper, drop in files and photos, and search the text inside images and scans — so one topic sits in one notebook.
