A faster way to take notes

Typing notes? Forget that

Note-taking apps get smarter every day. But when you watch a webinar or an online conference, it doesn’t matter whether you use an advanced app or pen and paper — you’re gonna have to pause the video to take notes. We’ve come up with a better (and faster!) solution.

Automate note-taking

Put TextSniper and Paste together for a dynamic duo

TextSniper can capture text from video. Paste can save it to the clipboard. Bang!

Here’s how it works:

1. Open TextSniper and Paste
2. Play a video or join a webinar on a meeting platform
3. To save anything you see on the screen, click on TextSniper in the menu bar > Capture text. Take a screenshot. Repeat.

Pro tip: You can set TextSniper to always capture text from the same area of the screen. Go to Preferences > Shortcuts. 

Once you’re done, you’ll find all the notes saved as text in Paste.

Preview and export notes

In Paste, right-click on a card with text (every screen capture you make with TextSniper will save text to a separate “card” in Paste). If you want to preview your notes, choose Quick Look. To export notes into a different space, choose “Paste as Plain Text.” Then, paste the text wherever you like — Notes, Google Docs, Notion, etc. 

If you want to turn notes into tasks, get 2Do and save your notes directly to this task management app.
