my brain stops listening 'cause it needs to write down the thing that was just said so I can remember it, at which point my brain is not listening anymore because it's trying to write things down, or it ends up writing a transcript of what's happening and then I can't remember the thing that was said.
Rosemary OrchardHOST
52:16
So I've always ended up using Notability with the audio recordings for this, 'cause I can just draw really a question mark or an exclamation mark and go back to that point where I've drawn the question mark or the exclamation mark to, to find out what was being said so I can write down the thing.
Rosemary OrchardHOST
52:30
Um, but yeah, we'll, we will, we'll see what, how everybody else feels about it.
Rosemary OrchardHOST
52:35
But I genuinely think that Rewind can just be useful in so many cases, you know, that, that I ask, you know, a, a kid what they want for breakfast, and they tell me, and then I walk into the kitchen and my brain just goes floop, completely gone.

Like, I, I, my brain stops listening 'cause it needs to write down the thing that was just said so I can remember it, at which point my brain is not listening anymore because it's trying to write things down or ends up writing a transcript of what's happening, and then I can't remember the thing that was said.

Rosemary OrchardHOST
52:16
So I've always ended up using Notability with the audio recording to this because I can just draw a really big question mark or an exclamation mark and go back to that point where I've drawn the question mark or the exclamation mark to find out what was being said so I can write down the thing.

Anna CorinneHOST
24:29
Do whatever you want.
Anna CorinneHOST
24:30
But I use an app called Notability, which has all sorts of templates to choose from so you can make notes that are specifically suited to your needs.
Anna CorinneHOST
24:37
Some people like their notes to be super cute and maximalist.
Anna CorinneHOST
24:39
Some people want them to be very simple and minimalist.
Anna CorinneHOST
24:42
I am a fan of just a very simple checkerboard myself.
Anna CorinneHOST
24:45
But you can copy and paste text, highlight text, add photos.
Anna CorinneHOST
24:49
This is very helpful for me because when I'm reading on Libby, which is my library's e-reader app, it doesn't let me copy the text, so I'll just take pictures of whatever I want to highlight and pull it into Notability.
Anna CorinneHOST
25:00
And then from there, I write whatever I want.
Sean CarrollHOST
179:09
Um, things have changed for me since the invention of the Apple Pencil, okay? So there's a program-- I, I experiment, experimented with different programs.
Sean CarrollHOST
179:20
Uh, I eventually landed on Notability is the one I use.
Sean CarrollHOST
179:24
And so Notability on my iPad is what I use for a lot of work in different ways.
Sean CarrollHOST
179:30
I use it to write my lecture notes for my classes.
Sean CarrollHOST
179:33
I use it to read PDF papers 'cause I can mark them up and take notes on them, um, as well as, um, you know, I have other documents when I'm teaching a class.
LillianGUEST

You can continue to take action in apps you already use with Siri, like texting a friend in WhatsApp or playing a book on Audible, and it's easy for developers to adopt new capabilities too.
LillianGUEST
10:20
So you can ask Siri AI to draft an email in Outlook, search for a homework assignment in Notability, or add a restaurant recommendation to TripC.
LillianGUEST
10:30
You can have rich conversations with Siri using voice or typing across your iPhone and in the all-new Siri app that's right on your home screen.
LillianGUEST
10:39
The Siri app is great for revisiting a past conversation or kicking off a new one, and it uses iCloud to sync conversations privately across your Apple products.
Darcy BurnardHOST
7:51
interesting so like not only just sending messages but you could ask it questions about things that happen in whatsapp that sort of thing
Shelly BrisbinGUEST
7:58
Well, WhatsApp, Notability were the two apps that were mentioned.
Shelly BrisbinGUEST
8:02
I think there was a third one mentioned, but I didn't write it down.
Shelly BrisbinGUEST
8:04
So they're clearly saying, yeah, you can benefit from Siri, from intelligence in third-party apps.
Teddy SvoronosGUEST
24:00
I'm a big fan of it.
Teddy SvoronosGUEST
24:01
And I've explored Notability and lots of other options.
Teddy SvoronosGUEST
24:05
And GoodNotes is, I have a blog post that's just called In Praise of GoodNotes about how much I like it.
Teddy SvoronosGUEST
24:10
And it still holds up, at least for my purposes.
