Welcome! Here's how to get the most out of Coconote

If you're watching this video and you don't have a lot of time, please just read the summary. That's actually the beauty of Coconote. You can let Coco summarize, take notes, and generally help you learn something in less time. With that said, if you want to watch this entire video, the choice is absolutely yours. I'm happy to give you an introduction to Coconote.

I am one of the creators, and I'm gonna be walking you through how to use Coconote on your iPhone, iPad, Android, or desktop. Right now, Coconote is available for iPhone and iPad, but we also have a web app which you can use of course on your Android, on your desktop, on your PC, on your Mac, whatever you'd like. So I'm going to be walking you through this. I'm gonna switch back and forth in my screen. So over here, I have our web app pulled open with a lot of notes because I spend a lot of my time QA'ing the app, or just making sure that the app is of of high quality.

And then over here, I have a screen recording, from my phone that I'm just going to be going through. So let's go ahead and open up Coconote on the iPhone for now. So the first thing you'll see is, your home screen. Right now, you may not have a lot of notes. It could be very empty, or this would be your only note, is how to use Coconote.

But, eventually, this is going to get really full. And so in the future, we're going to be adding a way for you to add notes to folders, or to better organize your notes in general. But for now, we just have a list. Your list is reverse chronological, which means the most recent notes are gonna be at the top of your list. And something that I'll say a couple times here is we do try to make it pretty easy to contact us if you have any sort of problem or you just want want to submit feedback.

Right now, you can tap this button in the top right corner to, send us a message. We read every single one of these messages truly. And soon that may actually be behind the settings page. So just look at settings or otherwise to try to contact us. And then on the web app over here, I'll jump over.

You can also send us a message here through our, support tab. So back to the iOS app, I'm gonna show you the first thing is how to create a note. So to create a note on iPhone, this is important, tap the new note button at the bottom. You have three choices. You can upload an audio, record audio, or use a YouTube video link.

The first thing I'll show you is how to use a YouTube video link. So I'm gonna tap the YouTube video. This is where I would paste it. We can always auto-detect the language, and I recommend just leaving it as auto-detect, especially if the video is in English. But if the video is in a non-English language, that is completely fine.

Just go ahead and tell us which language it is for the best accuracy. And so here you can see me looking at the languages. The second thing I wanna show you is how to upload audio. So you'll see this happen in 2 steps. Whenever I tap upload audio, this will come up, and then immediately I'll be asked to to select a file.

And I can select any one of these. I can do the same thing, auto-detect the language and auto-detect the note language that you want the outputs. And if you ever get confused about how to import things from your Voice Memos app from your iPhone, you're more than welcome to just tap this. It will show you step by step. On the web, which I'm gonna be bouncing back and forth between, I didn't cover the YouTube.

It's very simple. Right now, it looks like this. It may look slightly different whenever you are seeing this video, but it's going to be generally the same. And then you can also upload audio in any way that you wish. You can drop your file, or you can click this to look at your computer or your, your Android device.

And then the last thing I'll cover is recording. So the moment you tap record audio, you're live. You're now recording. I can tell that it's recording by this, tag down here. Something that really helps the quality of your notes is if you tell us what topic you're recording.

So this, I've said, you know, the default is Western economics, but here you can see I'm gonna add a topic, and I'm going to say amino acids. I have no business learning about amino acids, to be honest with you. I'm far from a chemist or any sort of scientist. Alas, I'm gonna say that I'm studying amino acids. That's gonna help.

Then I'm gonna say, pause down here, and I have 3 options. I can delete, which is just gonna restart. I can continue recording, or I can press save. Your audio is going to be the best quality if you leave the app open while you record. I wanna reemphasize this point because I wanna, make sure that it's clear.

The audio will be the best quality if you leave the open...
