Side by side
| What matters | Notion | Rehearsal AI |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Structured typed notes, databases, trackers | Material you never typed — voice, PDFs, screenshots |
| Voice notes | AI transcription exists, on paid AI plans — a workspace feature | The default capture mode — dictate, transcribed, filed |
| Getting it back | Search and navigate to the page | Ask a question, get a cited answer |
| Readable by ChatGPT / Claude (MCP) | Yes — Notion has its own MCP connector, for pages you typed and filed | Yes — and it includes the voice notes, PDFs and screenshots you never typed |
| Effort to keep it alive | A workspace you maintain — templates, databases, filing | A dead-simple app: open, capture, done — any mode, any medium |
| Databases & syllabus trackers | Excellent — best in class | Not offered (use Notion for this) |
| Active recall | None — re-reading only | DeepProbe™ questions you on your own material |
