What is OneNote?

OneNote is a versatile note-taking software developed by Microsoft, designed to cater to a wide array of information gathering and collaborative needs. As a free-form digital notebook, it serves as a single repository for notes, drawings, screen clippings, and audio commentaries. First announced by Bill Gates on November 17, 2002, and released in 2003, OneNote has evolved to become an integral part of the Microsoft 365 suite, while still being freely available across various platforms including Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android.

This application is engineered for both individual and multi-user environments, making it a useful tool for a range of scenarios from personal note-taking to professional teamwork. OneNote supports seamless organization and sharing of content over the Internet or a network, encouraging collaborative editing and management of documents. Additionally, it provides advanced features such as search capabilities, optical character recognition on images, and the ability to replay audio in sync with notes taken during recording.

OneNote is also accessible as a web-based service known as OneNote for the web, allowing users to take and share notes online without the need for advanced features such as audio recording or offline authoring. Despite certain limitations compared to its desktop counterpart, OneNote for the web remains a valuable tool for users requiring easy access and basic note-taking functionalities from any location with Internet connectivity.
