Listen to Jeff Sholl, CEO of Higher Symmetry Software and the lead developer of "Notescribe", an affordable software for students or anyone who writes and researches information. (This segment had a break. Stick with it and it will come back on. Sorry for the inconvenience. I have edited it as an archive on nolimits2learning.com )Notescribe allows the user to build a searchable database of notes and add hyperlinks, keywords and citations. Jeff will share on how he started the concept and the ad

I don't know about you, but I have piles of folders in my computer hard drive with subfolders full of notes. I have research on topics I have done online, notes on topics for trainings, and just plain fun and interesting passages on things I have copied and pasted into docs with a link to the site where I found the information.
Notescribe is a software that allows you to type directly into a notecard style window and then put in your references, sources, links to a website, etc. You attach keywords or tags to your note and place it in a heirarchy of folders to view from a list. By typing in keywords you have used, you can search and find notes on various topics.
This software would be immensely helpful to a college student taking notes in class or writing a paper. For those preparing for a thesis or disertation it would be great.
Jeff Sholl, the CEO and founder of Higher Symmetry Software, the company that has developed Notescribe, will be my guest Wednesday, July 23 at 12 noon Pacific time. Jeff will share how he developed the ideas and created the software. He will also be sharing the advantages of using this software.
