Stay present in class with Focus Mode

What is Focus Mode?

Focus Mode is a simplified recording view in Genio Notes, designed with learners in mind.

Listening and writing at the same time is hard work. Focus Mode replaces the standard event layout with a stripped-back screen built around one thing: marking moments as you listen. It takes the pressure off taking notes in the moment, so you can concentrate on what's being said.

How does it work?

Focus Mode is switched on by default for some learners. If Focus Mode is not switched on for you, here is what to do:

1. Open an event in Genio Notes and turn on Focus Mode from the event toolbar. You can do this before you start recording, or while recording or paused.
2. Record your class. When something stands out, tap to mark it as important, confusing or a question. [Confirm mark labels: Confluence lists both "question" and "missed" as the third type]
3. Stop the recording, and you'll return to the standard event view.
4. Your marks are now timestamped points in your recording. Jump straight to each one to listen again, fill in your notes or follow up.
5. Want Focus Mode on by default? Set your preference in Settings.
