You can also record your lecture from inside the app and, if you have a Microsoft 365 subscription, access some advanced Windows 10 features including a built-in Researcher tool and Math Assistant. OneNote also has decent, if not industry-leading handwriting support, which is useful if you own an iPad and Apple Pencil, a Surface device, or any Windows laptop or Chromebook that plays nice with a stylus. The latter is a flexible canvas that can include any number of text boxes, pictures, tables, and PDF print-outs. OneNote revolves around colorful Notebooks, which are then divided into Sections and individual Pages. If your institution supports the latter, there's a good chance your teachers and classmates are using OneNote too, making it easier to submit assignments and collaborate on group projects. Thankfully, every Microsoft account comes with a 5GB OneDrive plan, and many school email addresses unlock Office 365 Education, which comes with virtually unlimited OneDrive storage. Well, almost: OneNote requires OneDrive to store and sync your work.
The service is available on every major platform, including the web and doesn't cost a dime to use. If you're on a tight budget, Microsoft OneNote is an obvious choice.
