AVA Notes empowers you to keep all your ideas, projects, and to-do lists in one unified space. Seamlessly sync your notes across devices so you can access them anywhere—whether you’re at your desk or on the move. Gather every piece of information you need, then organize it in ways that fit your research style.

Below are several ways AVA Notes can help you improve and streamline your research process:

Organize Your Research

Set up a clear, structured note-taking system to stay on top of your projects:

• Create Dedicated Notebooks
  Make a separate notebook in AVA Notes for each project. Within each notebook, you can create sub-notebooks or sections for specific topics or categories.

• Structure with Headers & Lists
  Separate your notes into sections using headers, bullet points, or numbered lists. You can also incorporate tables, color-coded text highlights, hand-drawn sketches, or handwritten notes for greater clarity.

• Use Tags & Labels
  Add relevant tags to each note—such as “to-do,” “in progress,” or “done”—to keep track of a note’s status or connect it to a specific research question. Consistency in labeling and formatting will ensure your research remains easy to navigate and update.

  
  

Harness Powerful Search Features

Never waste time hunting for that one snippet of crucial information again:

• Keyword & Tag Search
  Quickly filter notes by keywords or tags to zero in on precisely what you need.

• Image Text Recognition (OCR)
  AVA’s OCR technology can identify and retrieve text within images. When you’ve snapped photos of documents or handwritten notes, simply search by keyword to locate them almost instantly.

This level of deep search functionality can be a game-changer when dealing with large or complex research materials.

Incorporate Diverse Resources

Bring all your materials together in a single, intuitive workspace:

• Visual & Multimedia Integration
  Import images, documents, or handwritten scans directly into AVA Notes. Annotate them with sketches, highlights, or text.

• Voice-to-Speech
  Don’t feel like typing? Use AVA’s built-in voice-to-speech feature to dictate quick notes or ideas, then convert them automatically into text.

By combining different types of content, you can gain a more holistic view of your research and better illustrate your findings.

Preserve Crucial Online Content with the Web Clipper

AVA’s Web Clipper extension ensures you never lose valuable resources:

• Clip Relevant Pages
  Whether it’s a blog post, a news report, or a scholarly paper, save web pages directly into your AVA notebooks.

• Save Paywalled Articles
  If you temporarily have access to subscription-based journals or pay-per-view articles, clip them into AVA so you can revisit the material even after access expires.

• Organize & Tag Your Clips
  Assign notebooks and tags to clipped pages immediately. This practice will help you quickly recall why a particular article was important and how it fits into your broader research.

• Add Notes & Context
  Write brief summaries or key points in the note itself. Including your takeaways or the article’s relevance to your project will save you time when you return to the information later.

  
  

Share Findings with Your Research Group

Collaborative research becomes seamless when everyone stays aligned:

• Create Shared Notebooks
  Invite colleagues to a dedicated notebook where each member can add ideas, links, and comments. This shared repository becomes the hub for collective brainstorming and real-time updates.

• Use Tags & Color-Coding
  Label team-contributed ideas with tags or color themes to quickly identify patterns, responsibilities, or project milestones.

When every member of your team has access to the same, well-organized resources, you eliminate redundancy and encourage collaborative breakthroughs.

Pro Tip

Group related insights or tasks using consistent tags or color schemes. This technique simplifies identifying recurring themes and patterns, making it much easier to structure larger research projects or final reports.
