have you seen the Apple notes meme well imagine if we just just for a second replace it with Google
keep well Google keep has a lot of things tucked away inside of it and we're going to unpack what
they are with features and deep dives into all of the bits about Google keep and whether it's your
next note taking application if you are in the hunt for note taking applications jump over to
tool finder to get reviews ratings and insights about all of the note taking applications so
Google keep I was call it the digital version of poster notes because it looks like that it's very
colorful very quick to use and naturally available on most phones so this is the desktop version and
as you can see it's very simple now I've got three formats already here you can see that I've got a
transcribed note you can actually create audio notes in Google Keep an image and a simple note
itself let's show you some features inside of all of those to get you going so I mentioned the audio
transcription I actually did this on mobile I started speaking on the mobile application and
pretty instantly it started transcribing what I was saying into a note format which is great and
it worked pretty well as well if I've had in apps like otter AI which is a note taking application
but also for meetings and for professionals and for professionals but you can play back
the original transcription if you did want to and be able to rename the note and change some
of the text as part of it so this is perfect if you're writing an article or maybe even you
want some more detail and you want to be able to use transcription for it maybe students and many
other people like so one of the things you can do is set a reminder on a note that you create
in Google Keep you can set a reminder for not only the time but the location or place that you go to
as well now this is perfect for if you leave somewhere or you arrive somewhere which means
that it will pop up and give you a notification on your mobile mobile devices when that happens which
is perfect for those who have set time based or location based reminders now Google keep search is
really really powerful and I mean powerful there's lots of different types of notes which means if
you got loads of notes you can scan through them including recordings URLs and drawings which you
can do on mobile devices too but the real magic is the ability to scan through images because
what it does do is if I typed in something like budget it'll scan through all of the notes that
I have and actually find where I've mentioned that in the text in this case I've actually mentioned
budget in this screenshot of a remarkable to which is perfect for finding stuff for later now as you
can see it's able to understand what things are including books food groceries films music Places
Travel and TV which makes it perfect for capturing stuff on the go and be able to understand those
images later on a lot of people like as well to use the color coding to create tags so for example
red could be important things or yellow might be meeting notes and green might be something
like important dates that they need to remember but all in all the organization system is great
for search and you can also associate a label to all of the notes you create which makes it
easier to organize in a notebook style fashion so one of the underrated features is actually adding
collaborators as part of your Google keep so for example if I opened a certain note I could go down
here and add a collaborator I can share it with a personal email address but what's nice as well
is I can create what's called a family group which is something you can associate on your
Google account if I go over here I can create a family and add up to five people so I can share
that note and collaborate on it together which is called a family keep now this is actually
something that Apple notes does really well me and my wife collaborate on an Apple notes together and
it's really handy to be able to see updates from other people during the week so so you need to be
actually sharing this so for example you need to have inside of the settings enabling sharing to
be able to get that and there's also a dark mode in Sharing as well once you press save dark mode
will appear so you're probably wondering how can I really take Google keep a lot further well you
can actually have it on the sidebar when you're using other Google applications which means you
can use it in the likes of uh Google Documents so if I wanted to drag in an example maybe a template
of something with a couple of links in then I can just drag a Google Keep and it will paste
into a Google Document which is great and it works the other way around as well if I wanted to take
a note then anything I take as part of that note inside of the Google Document it will associate
that Google Document to that note which means I can come back to that document for later knowing
that the context is part of that note and I can add all of the relevant details as well as colors
and all the regular stuff like pinning so folks that was Google keep and a bit more insight into
how you can use it to really go further are you going to be that wizard at the end that is using
Google keep in a pro level or are you going to be that one at the start or maybe you're
someone in between whether you are or not it is your choice to choose whatever to do list and
not taking application of your choice but Google keep is like the digital poster notes online and
hopefully this help you get a bit of insight into how to use it thank you very much folks please
