Dragon Dictation
Never type notes again? Or having to borrow notes from fellow students because the professor was faster than your own pen? The speech recognition software Dragon Dictation currently comes closest to this dream, although it cannot currently convert entire lectures into the written word. Nevertheless, speech-to-text transcription works - even if it is not always error-free - for SMS and emails as well as for your own flashes of inspiration, smaller discussion groups and conversations.
Available for: iPhone and iPad
Price: free
Android alternative: Tape-a-Talk Pro Voice Recorder – records entire lectures without converting them into written text (0.99 €, Lite version free)
degree
The application for the ultimate grade overview. In addition to the calendar management of upcoming exams, the app has a very special feature: As soon as new grades are available online, the user is notified via Growl or via the menu bar. This makes it unnecessary to enter the information yourself. The respective exam results can also be viewed and reveal how your fellow students completed and where you stand. The only disadvantage: many, but not all, German universities work with it.
