Which features help students learn?
How does audio recording help?
High-quality recording provides a backup and allows a student to revisit any part of a lecture or meeting.
How does the full transcript help?
Spoken content is transcribed and stored in outline mode so the user can locate quotes or specific information.
How does the live mind map help?
AI selects keywords and icons from the lecture to create a visual index. The map is intended to show patterns, relationships and the big picture.
Can students edit and enrich their notes?
Users can add, change or remove keywords and icons, and add files, links, images and presentation material.
Can students mark quotes and highlights?
Important information can be marked during the session for quicker review later.
Is there a visual outline?
The transcript is also shown as a structured outline containing the mind map’s keywords and images. The outline and map remain connected.
Are the audio, transcript and mind map synchronised?
Audio, transcript and mind map are synchronised; selecting an item in one format takes the user to the corresponding point in the others.
Can students try ivvi or get it through DSA?
We offer a free 30-day full trial with no commitment, no credit card and no subscription during the trial. Students keep lifetime access to the maps they create. ivvi Notes is DSA approved, and students can download our DSA guide PDF.
