Genio Cloud-Based Note-taker
Genio Notetaker is a cloud-based software that supports note-taking educational endeavors and is available to Office for Disability Equity (formerly DSS) students with a note-taking accommodation.
Access will be limited to ODE students with an approved note-taking accommodation.
Additionally, ODE students who request Genio will be required to accept the Genio invitation when received and use the program. The number of licenses is limited and, as a result, managed. If ODE runs out of licenses, unaccepted invitations to create Genio accounts and inactive accounts will be assigned to other students. If you lose access, you may renew your Genio account by contacting your ODE coordinator and making another request. You will be contacted and informed about your Genio account status prior to losing account access.
At the end of each semester, all Genio accounts will be closed and a new request to your ODE coordinator will be required to keep your account active. You will have access to your audio notes for 90-days after your account is deactivated. The purpose of this is to ensure the requisite number of licenses are available at the beginning of each semester for ODE. Students with a Genio account, who have either graduated, left the University, did not find Genio useful, or no longer require the use of the service will have their deactivated licenses made available to other ODE students.
To request access to Genio , contact your ODE Coordinator. Upon receiving approval for Genio usage, the Assistive Technology Specialist will send a link to a Qualtrics form asking a few questions. Please accept the invitation you receive from Genio for access after you complete the survey.
If you have been using the Audio Notetaker desktop application and would like to reference your notes after the program expires, you should still have access to the recordings and any notes you have taken but you will not be able to edit or use any of the functions of the program.
