How to Use AI to Summarize Lecture Notes

Taking lecture notes is essential, but reviewing them later can be time-consuming. With Oneboard, you can streamline this process by using AI to summarize your notes quickly and effectively. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to leverage AI in Oneboard to get concise summaries of your lecture notes.

Step 1: Organize Your Lecture Notes

Before using AI, it’s important to structure your notes clearly. Within Oneboard, create a page for each lecture and organize the text fields for different sections of your notes. If you’re using handwritten notes, ensure they are converted to text using Oneboard’s text recognition feature.

Step 2: Select the Text to Summarize

Once your notes are ready, highlight the section you want summarized. This could be the entire lecture or just a specific portion like key points or detailed explanations.

Step 3: Use Oneboard’s AI Summarization

Oneboard uses advanced AI models to generate concise summaries. After selecting your text:

1. Right-click (or tap and hold) on the selected text.

2. From the menu that appears, choose the Summarize with AI option.

Step 4: Review and Edit the Summary

Within seconds, Oneboard will generate a summary based on the selected text. Review the AI-generated summary and make any necessary adjustments to ensure it covers the most important points. You can tweak the output to focus more on concepts, definitions, or detailed explanations depending on your needs.

Step 5: Save and Reuse Your Summaries

Once you’re satisfied with the summary, you can save it to a new page, alongside your full lecture notes, or export it for future reference. Having a summary allows you to quickly revise the main points without reading through all your notes.

Oneboard AI Rewrite

Oneboard’s AI doesn’t just stop at summarizing your notes—it also offers powerful rewrite features that help you refine your content. Whether you want to change the tone of a text to make it more formal or casual, paraphrase a section to simplify complex ideas, or even shorten or expand your notes, Oneboard has you covered. You can also use the AI to check for misspellings, ensuring that your notes are not only concise but also accurate. These features make it easy to customize and polish your lecture notes to match your study preferences.

By using Oneboard's AI, you can save time on note reviewing and ensure you’re focusing on the key takeaways from each lecture. Start summarizing your notes today and make studying more efficient!
