What Is ivvi Notes and How Does It Work
What is ivvi Notes?
ivvi Notes™ transforms lectures into mind maps as the user listens. It is positioned as instant visual note-taking for students, neurodiverse people and visual thinkers.
ivvi’s proprietary Speech-to-Map™ technology:
- records spoken content;
- creates a synchronised transcript;
- converts the content into a real-time visual mind map using keywords and images;
- keeps the audio, transcript and map connected for later navigation and editing.
ivvi Notes is DSA approved.
What problem does ivvi solve?
- Lectures and spoken information can be overwhelming.
- Traditional note-taking is slow.
- Visual notes are helpful but difficult to create live.
- Dyslexia, ADHD and executive-function challenges can make it hard to listen, select information and write at the same time.
- Re-listening to entire lectures and rewriting notes after class takes significant time.
Over 10% of students have dyslexia or ADHD. We built ivvi for neurodiverse learners and anyone who prefers visual learning.
What are the benefits of ivvi Notes?

How is ivvi different from an AI summary tool?
ivvi is a filtering and visual-organisation tool, not a summarisation tool. We remove the anxiety and mechanics of note-taking while leaving selection, judgement and learning with the student.

What do students say about ivvi?
“ivvi is a total life saver. I can get overwhelmed with the amount of information I hear in lectures and tutorials and my ADHD means I can focus on one aspect and miss other details. Seeing the lecture mapped out visually means I can follow the big picture and understand what's being taught.”
— Grace, university student
“I’m just starting college with dyslexia and I love mindmapping but it can be hard to do it in lectures, so I’m really looking forward to ivvi showing me what’s being said visually so I can understand it.”
— Annie, college student
