Do you frequently read PDFs and take notes? Do you prefer to take those notes on your computer? If so, say goodbye to the alt-tab nightmares of your past!. TakeNote is an application that I use for note-taking in most of my humanities classes. As a college student, I prefer free PDF versions of my textbooks. But, when I'm reading these books, I run into a problem. I find myself constantly having to read a couple sentences, alt-tab to my notes window, click into my notes window to get a cursor, type in some notes, alt-tab back to my textbook window, and find my place in the page to begin reading again and restart this tedious cycle. With TakeNote, I just open the GUI from this repo and hit "Record". This starts a note-taking session in the background. If I'm reading my textbook and want to take a note, all I have to do now is say "Take Note" followed by whatever key point I'd like to have jotted down. I can do this over and over again, and at the end of my chapter of reading, I simply navigate back to the "Stop Recording" button and click it. The program then takes the audio file of whatever I've said since I started reading, cuts out all the unecessary silence from the file, and ships it to GCP for speech processing. When GCP sends back the speech data, that data is parsed with looking for instances of the phrase "Take Note", and notes immediately following that phrase are transcribed into a text file and opened onto your screen for easy cop-paste access into whatever note-organization software your prefer.
