Abstract

A multimedia note taking system called MinuteAid is described that lets users of laptops include multimedia objects in notes they write during a presentation. The multimedia data is provided by devices that capture slide images, whiteboard images, audio and video clips. The MinuteAid system includes a software interface between these devices and a commonly available word processing application (Microsoft Word) and lets the user either insert copies of multimedia objects while they´re captured or references to multimedia objects that are automatically retrieved and inserted in the document later. We describe the architecture, implementation and user experience with this system.
