}}Sonocent produces Audio Notetaker, desktop software that turns audio into visual blocks; notes can then be structured using colored highlighting, and combined with images and text notes. The software is used by over 22,000 students and 328 institutions in North America, over 120,000 through the UK Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) scheme, and 44 UK universities and colleges. The company also publishes a companion app Sonocent Recorder for iOS and Android.[1][2][3]

History

In 2005 Dr Roger Tucker had an idea for a software application to help students with disabilities to take better notes, this was aimed at students with disabilities like dyslexia who found note taking difficult to the point of affecting their attainment and often relied on lengthy digital recordings for note-taking. He founded Sonocent and in 2007 Audio Notetaker was launched. The software was recommended to students through the Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) scheme in the UK.[4]

In 2014 Sonocent was an Educational Resource Awards (ERA) winner and in 2015 it won the BETT IT Company of the Year (Under £1m turnover) award, it was also in the 2018 Northern Tech Awards Top 100.

It was featured in The Parliamentary Review (Technology) 2017/18.[5]
