Sonocent Audio Notetaker Software looks wonderful. I have a couple of students, one in college and the other starting college in the fall, that just can’t take notes and listen. Besides recording the lecture, which is not practical in terms of the time required to replay the entire lecture, I haven’t found a good solution. This program records the lecture, but in a completely different way. The words recorded don’t show up as text, but rather as rectangles that break when there is a pause in the speech. The student can give their full attention to the lecture and just color codes the speech bars according to “what is important”, or “I don’t understand”, or “examples”, etc…with a click. Then when the student is ready to review the notes, they select which color to play. There is also a parallel space for the student to write notes as they listen. There are other features as well, but the part I described here is fantastic. Certainly worth exploring. They offer a free trial. http://www.sonocent.com/en/the_software/audio_notetaker
