Microsoft OneNote is a digital notebook that enables you to capture, organize and share information. For general information on OneNote and how to get started with OneNote, go to Microsoft’s OneNote training page. This page includes two videos.
OneNote is available for Windows Desktop, Mac, iOS, Android, Windows 10 app, and online. On the Microsoft website, simply select your device to find step-by-step directions on how to use OneNote with a screen reader. A list of keyboard shortcuts is available for each device.
OneNote has the ability to record and to take notes while recording. Many students with visual impairments benefit from being able to record a classroom lecture while taking notes linked to a specific part of that recording. The video below demonstrates how to record, how to take notes, and how to access the information later.
