Starting college in the fall with a 504 and looking for the best note taking accommodation

Just as the title says, I have a child starting college in the fall. They are on a 504 plan that allows them to have accommodations. One of those accommodations is help with notetaking. I’ve looked into several AI apps that claim to create note cards, transcribe audio lectures into notes that are simplified for easier understanding, organize notes etc., create quiz or test questions.

There are so many out there and like everything else, there are the good and bad.

Price isn’t an issue as I want them to succeed and they need the help.

What do you suggest and why? Pros and cons

Thanks

I can personally vouch for Study Fetch! Been on the Premium plan for over a month. Favorite features are the transcribing of lectures and the flash cards for me! Both super helpful. I feel like there's actually a few features on there that I havn't even utilized yet lol. Cons? Nothing that springs to mind, but I'm sure there are some - especially compared to other apps. There's no 'ambient noise/music' setting on it which is important for some people (I just use YouTube for that). I have heard complaints about customer service but I've never run into any. I upgraded to premium fairly quickly though to be fair which apparently allows access to better customer service. Definetely give it a look! All the best OP
