I'm a newspaper reporter and have been using this tool for more than a year. I record most of my phone interviews with it and have started also using it for face-to-face interviews and at conferences and such. It's really a great tool because of the combination of taking typed notes and having the audio that matches up. So when I go back to get quote or check on something I can easily find the audio portion and replay it for accuracy. I also use it to take notes from long documents. I highly recommend Pear Note. It greatly adds to my speed, productivity and accuracy. It's not without a few small flaws but overall it works great.

This product is an amazing blend of note-taking resources. It is exactly what I had been looking for. A way to take notes and connect them with audio recordings, video recordings, and powerpoint slideshows. This takes notes to a whole new level. I often wish I could have gone back and re-listened to what had actually been going on. Now I can. I am so excited to put this to use, and even more excited for the iPad edition to come out. Good job Useful Fruit!

This is the best App I have ever used for the Mac. Hands down. Great tool for note-taking. I use it every single day in grad school on my Mac and my iPad.
