Using the OneNote Phone App for Research

Today I’m continuing my video series on Microsoft OneNote. Today’s topic? The OneNote phone app.

To recap: All of my nonfiction writing projects begin with their own notebook in Microsoft OneNote (the desktop version). This notebook is the digital equivalent of a file box where I store all my hardcopy research.

I use the OneNote app on my phone to add pages from books and magazines to my notebook. This video will show you the basics of the OneNote phone app, including:

  • How to use your phone’s camera to capture book pages in OneNote
  • Why you should choose “document” instead of “photo” when taking photos of book pages (hint: You can’t search text in a photo, only a document.)
  • Some basic markup techniques in the app and on your desktop
  • How to add and use audio notes via your phone app
