# Synced Note-Taking Systems The SMART kapp Smart Whiteboard Streams Notes to Mobile Devices Live By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-12-19 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-whiteboard References: [springwise](http://www.springwise.com/smart-whiteboard-syncs-meeting-notes-device-real-time/) & [smartkapp](http://smartkapp.com/) Rather than taking pictures of a whiteboard and emailing it to everyone after the meeting or brainstorming session, this smart whiteboard automatically syncs content to any device in real time. The SMART kapp would come in especially handy if not everyone can make the meeting, allowing them to interact with visual content and have a more engaging conference call. The smart whiteboard itself can be used with standard dry erase markers. Through the SMART kapp app, people in the meeting room can stream what is happening on the board, as can those in remote areas. The final product is saved as a JPG or PDF so it can't be sent to absent parties. There is also an option to [record the whole session](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartmeetingsai) for added context. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Real-time Collaboration:** Utilizing synced note-taking systems to promote remote collaboration in meetings and brainstorming sessions. - **Smart Whiteboards:** Developing smart whiteboards as a means to make meetings more engaging and promote collaboration. - **Mobile Integration:** Integrating mobile devices into meetings through synced note-taking systems to increase accessibility and flexibility. ### Where This Applies - **Technology:** Developing and improving synced note-taking systems to better enable collaboration in technology-based industries. - **Education:** Incorporating synced note-taking systems into classrooms to improve learning and promote collaboration among students and teachers. - **Business:** Adopting synced note-taking systems in business settings to increase remote collaboration and better serve employees and clients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Organized Digital Whiteboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-whiteboards.md) - [Tablet Writing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moleskine-smart-writing-system.md) - [Interactive Task Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-freeboard-app.md) - [Magnetic Whiteboard Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiteboard-notebook.md) - [Personal Portable Whiteboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-whiteboard-1.md) - [Hybrid Virtual Brainstorming Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postit-note-app.md) - [Digitized Sticky Note Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memojector.md) - [Intuitive AI-Supported Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xnote-smart-notebook.md) - [AI-Powered Smart Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moleskine-smart.md)
