StudyBuddy 1.01

StudyBuddy is a free two-part application to help students organise and back up notes. Photos of notes taken through the Android mobile app can be tagged and synchronized to a PC. Extra features on the PC include links between notes, typed notes, contrast enhancement and easier tagging.

Students often have their coursework, lecture slides, and course texts stored on their computer; with hand written notes on paper. Instead of having notes separated and disorganized, Study Buddy helps organize notes in a central location. Lecture slides and images can be imported, paper notes can be photographed, then both managed in StudyBuddy. Notes never have to be lost again.

Board notes can also be photographed in a lecture and so lecture notes don't even need to be taken. This is especially useful for students with learning difficulties and gives a clear advantage over using an audio recording device, as notes cannot be skimmed through.

The PC application allows images to be imported from both the mobile phone application and the user's computer. This gives students the flexibility to store all their notes in one place. The Android application allows notes to be photographed, tagged, and sent to the PC application via Bluetooth.

Once the images have been imported, they can be rotated, enhanced, annotated, tagged, and linked to other images. There are also a number of features built in to enable the user to view images easily including zoom, slideshow, drag with mouse, quick browse using thumbnails, and a search by tag feature.
