In my specialized field of appellate law (SSD/SSI claims), I rely on Notetaker for 90% of my briefing needs. I have 8 notebooks arrayed in the dock. Half are full of medico-legal citations and quotes: "Procedure & Review," "Administrative Rulings," "Sequential Evaluation,"and "Med/Psych/Drugs." I use the "Find All" search, or tabs or Table of Contents to find legal authority quickly. I add constantly; these notebooks would bulge if they could. Another notebook, "Dailies," is a journal of activities, what came in, what went out, phone conversations (again, the search gets me the info I need for years aback). Another notebook is for bank numbers, credit card numbers, passwords and logins. Best tool ever!

I am a professor in the humanities at a major research university. I have used NoteTaker since the time when I was writing my doctoral dissertation and needed to organize huge amounts of information, insights, observations, notes etc. from which to build larger arguments. I am certain that my dissertation, and the book that came out of it, are hugely improved thanks to this software. I cannot recommend this product highly enough for its ease of use as well as considerable breadth of functionality, and feel enormous gratitude to the folks who designed it and continually improve it. I have continued to use it in all of my research projects large and small.

I am a student at Harvard Law School and I have been using NoteTaker for a year and a half to take notes in all my classes. It has been a life saver.

These are a few of my favorite features:
1) The drag and drop format. Every line can automatically be dragged and dropped to anywhere else on the page, at any level of outline promotion/demotion. This makes it faster and easier to effectively outline ideas while simultaneously taking notes in class. I also love that you can divide everything up like a real notebook but better, with tabs, sections, and sub-sections.
2) Linking. This is key in law school. I realize that Word also has this feature, but I find it much easier to use in NoteTaker. I can make a short outline on the first page and link everything to its more detailed counterpart elsewhere in the notebook.
3) NoteTaker will automatically create an index for your notebook allowing you to find the location of every single word.
4) I also use NoteTaker for to-do lists, grocery lists, etc. NoteTaker's to-do list function allows you to create these lists which update every day as you add things and check them off, and you can see what you did on any particular day.

The reason I give it 4 out of 5 stars is that NoteTaker is remarkably bad at converting to Word files, so I effectively can't share my notes with anyone else. But for my purposes of taking personal notes, that doesn't make or break the program for me.
