Rehearsal vs OneNote
OneNote is unbeatable with a stylus. It just cannot transcribe your voice notes, read your screenshots, or answer a question from what you saved.

Side by side
| What matters | OneNote | Rehearsal AI |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Freeform typed and handwritten notes | Material you never typed — voice, PDFs, screenshots |
| Handwriting & stylus | Best in class — ink-to-text on tablets | Not offered (use OneNote for this) |
| Voice notes | Records audio; not transcribed to search | Auto-transcribed and searchable |
| Getting it back | Keyword search across notebooks | Ask a question, get a cited answer |
| Readable by ChatGPT / Claude | No — Copilot needs a Microsoft 365 plan | Yes — live MCP connector, read-only |
| Active recall | None — re-reading only | DeepProbe™ questions you on your own material |
