    Australia Zone Canada Zone European Union Zone Middle East Zone Singapore Zone United States Zone YuJa AccessNotes Note-Taking Platform

    We have successfully pushed an update to all YuJa AccessNotes Note-Taking Platform instances residing in the US, Canada, Australia, Singapore, the Middle East, and the European Union. This update includes the option to ask AI Assistant to auto-create quizzes based on recordings, enable auto-transcript scrolling with audio playback, a new search bar in transcripts to search content, a new option to disable the audio file downloads, and more.

    1. Use GenAI to Auto-Create Quizzes Based on Your Recording to Help You Study
      Using our genAI capabilities, YuJa AccessNotes can help you replace traditional flashcard-based studying by analyzing your notes and generating self-study quizzes in multiple-choice or True/False formats. As you take the quiz, answers are provided immediately after responses, allowing you to immediately identify areas of improvement. If you didn’t perform well, you can retake the quiz, or for an additional challenge, create a new set of questions to further test your understanding.

    4. Administrators Can Disable the Downloading of Audio Files

    5. Create Organized Outlines of Your Notes Using Clear Headings
      When a presentation or lecture lacks structure and a simple summary is not enough to understand the content, YuJa AccessNotes can help by generating an outline. Outlines structure entire presentations into clear, text-based formats, including headings and descriptions that summarize the discussions held in each identified audio section.A gif showing the Gen AI generation of recordings' auto outline in Access Notes.
    6. Organize Content by Transferring Items from One Folder to Another
      With our new options for moving items between folders, organizing content in YuJa AccessNotes is easier than ever. You can select the items you want to relocate and click the Move button to transfer files or folders.
