Hi i have an ipad 2 and want to record lectures and take notes what is a great app? I have been using sound note formerly soundpaper but it only records up to 1hour? I had a class this morning which went up to 3 hours i thought it was recording but when I came home it had no sound after 1hour 10mins. Please help.

Dragon dictation? Not sure what the time limits are though.....

live Notes is what you want i think u can upload to dropbox. u can also bookmark the audio on your note pages so u can easily find lecture audio. if this doesnt work for you let me know. i have tons of note taking apps on my ipad

I checked out live notes but don't seem to like it any other suggestions? I just need to take notes and record lectures up to 2 and half hours.

Audio note is my favorite. Let's you record, type and draw then email to yourself the notes and separate audio file.

I've been playing with notability. It ha the record and type notes functions.

I would love an audio tool that records voice but also converts the voice to text at the same time !

@Merk, you read my mind this is what I've been looking for for the longest. Thanx Leelai I'm going to check this out right now. 

Your right! I've been using notability since I got my iPad 2! This one really help me to record and take jot down notes.

Hmmmmm...I believe I suggested that in post#2.....lol.

Dragon is good, but in lecture situations and more than one voice or loud noises only about 70% accuracy. There is an app out there that I've seen that links your recording to your notes. Been so long I can't remember what it was. You just had to tap your note to make the recording play at that point. But that's what I do In my real live everyday work....I'm a court reporter. Voice recognition is getting there...just not yet with reliability. You need quiet and one voice that had been "trained" to recognize the sound. There is another source doing the take notes with the audio and tap on the notes to play it, but that's a special pen with special paper to activate it.

Outl4w how can I forget you I'm so sorry. You did mention Dragon dictation first, thanks for all your help you have given all of us here on this forum.

I've been using Notability for some time now. I believe the limit for recording is based on your memory limit.

You will not be disappointed.

I'm definitely not disappointed....here's a note I made to the forum...

No worries. There's a zoom feature in the app that allows you to keep your handwriting to a normal size...I thought it would be difficult to use but as you can tell I've learnt really quick and find it very easy now. I'm well impressed with it.

Would be good if I could highlight.....not sure yet if I can, haven't found a feature yet but gonna do a search and see.
