Discover these clever Google Keep hacks to supercharge your note-taking game.
1. Voice Memos Made Easy
In a rush and prefer not to type? Utilize Google Keep to record voice memos on the go. Simply access Keep on your mobile device to get started.
2. Scan documents to create notes
Sometimes ideas come quickly and you jot them down on a piece of paper. If you want to share that list with colleagues or keep it for a while, Keep can digitize it from handwritten notes.
- Tap on the Image icon at the bottom of the screen.
- Select Take a photo.
- Position the camera in front of the document and press Capture. After the photo is taken, tap Use photo.
- Tap on the image to open the editing tool.
- Press the three dots in the top right corner >> Download image description.
The text on paper has been converted into digital text, and you can edit it as usual.
3. Labels
- Whenever you want to filter labels to find notes, simply click on the three lines in the top left corner and choose a label to view.
4. To-Do List
Google has a dedicated app for creating to-do lists called Google Tasks, but Google Keep will also create these lists for you. To create a to-do list in Keep:
- Tap on the checkmark icon in the toolbar.
- Open the note you need to set reminders for.
- At the top, select the bell icon.
- Set the date, time, and location where you want to receive reminders. Remember to click the checkmark in the top right corner to save.
Ensure Google Keep is allowed to send notifications so you can receive timely reminders.
