Illunotes lets you be more present and take better notes during lectures, meetings, and presentations.
What Is Illunotes?
Illunotes is a note-taking app that gives you access to presentations from the convenience of your web browser or Android smartphone (iOS app coming soon.)
By scanning a QR code or entering a PIN, you get immediate access to any presentation. You can then take notes on each slide as you please: Illunotes supports rich input formats, so you can type notes directly onto your slide, write or draw using your finger or a stylus, or record a voice note that you can play back later.
Why Illunotes?
Illunotes eliminates the need to hastily take pictures of a presentation in progress, giving you direct access to all the slides for a presentation. You can then take unlimited notes just like you would on paper: write, type, draw or record audio for each individual slide using the app on your smartphone, or through your favorite web browser.
Plus, when you’re done, you can easily export your notes as a PDF, search through all of your notes and presentations, and keep track of everything in one focused, dedicated app.
How Does Illunotes Work?
Illunotes features an easy-to-use, three row interface that allows you to access all of your material quickly and easily.
First Row
The first row contains is for the teacher/presenter, allowing you to see all the presentations you’ve uploaded.
Second Row
The second row contains all presentations that have been shared with you, or that you have accessed using a QR code or PIN.
Third Row
The third row allows you to input photos of the screen in cases where the presenter has not shared the presentation. This way, you can still organize your photos and make individual notes.
Uploading a Presentation
Upload a Presentation
1. You can upload a presentation if you have an Illunotes Professional account. Supported formats include images (JPG, JPEG and PNG), presentations (PPT, PPTX, PPS, KEY) and ZIP files. The recommended method is to upload individual slides as images, but Illunotes can automatically convert PowerPoint presentations to individual slides for easy access in the app.
Your Upload
2. Once your upload is complete, your presentation is assigned a PIN number. Here, you can choose an expiration date for your presentation to prevent access beyond a certain time period.
Upload an Associated PDF
3. You can also upload an associated PDF or link (to a video, for example) to accompany their presentation. Attaching a study guide, summary, or practice material to your presentation lets participants access it along with your presentation.
