GoodNotes 6 is the app's largest update yet, featuring new AI-powered handwriting capabilities and official versions for Windows, Android, and the web
GoodNotes has released GoodNotes 6, arguably the biggest update to its digital note-taking app in the last 4 years. It offers a fresh design and advanced features, including AI-powered writing aids that can learn the user's handwriting style, auto-correct handwritten typos, and suggest words to complete sentences. The app also integrates with Claude, enabling users to modify, summarize, and adjust the tone of typed text. Initial language support includes spellcheck in English, Spanish, German, and Dutch, and Word Complete in English. All existing GoodNotes 5 users can rest assured, as the company ensures a smooth transition, safeguarding the preservation of all their notes during the upgrade.
GoodNotes 6 also introduces educational tools such as interactive exam practice materials for SAT and DSE math prep courses. The AI Math Assistance feature can detect incorrect math equations, with plans to expand AI tutoring in STEM subjects. The app's intuitive ink gestures allow users to erase mistakes by scribbling over them and select content by drawing circles around it, and it also recognizes and converts handwritten math equations (pretty cool!). Users can customize template size and color for personalized notebooks and organize folders by color with added icons or emojis, or they can also use the marketplace within the app, which offers digital stationery, stickers, planners, templates, and study notes.
It could be said that GoodNotes' commitment to introducing AI handwriting features sets it apart from the competition. With this move, it becomes one of the few note-taking and typing tools that elevate handwriting to the next level, allowing for completion, correction, re-diagramming, and interaction with text in this style. It's worth mentioning that the company has also officially announced the launch of its versions for Android, Windows, and the web (sync between Android and Windows to other platforms will come soon), so now, it won't be confined solely to the Apple ecosystem; instead, all these features will reach millions more people.
