Here's an idea, a transcript where you can click on a word in the transcript, and it jumps to the point in the presentation so you also have the context of the slide shown during speaking.

This would be such a great learning tool!

  I'm the developer of this, which has: A transcript editor, Full-text search over the transcripts, The ability to use the transcript to seek. For example: http://presentio.us/view/d8b58e http://presentio.us/view/d8b58e (edited to fix formatting)

  It reminded me of a certain notebook and pen (an expensive set) where each page of the notebook had a unique background pattern and the pen would record the lectures as you wrote. Later you could put the pen down on a word in your notes and start listening to the lecture just as you were writing those notes. Can't remember the name though.

    I think you're talking about this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003RAE19Q/ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003RAE19Q/ the Livescribe Echo Smartpen Or at least as of 2010 when I put it in an Amazon.com wishlist (and #%&^%& but Amazon's search function sucks, "pen" didn't find the "smartpen" by which it's named). Going to http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_pc?ie=UTF8&field-brandtextbin=Livescribe&node=541966 http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_pc?ie=UTF8&field-brandtext... I see much cheaper versions, including ones for iOS.

      This is indeed the unit a fellow student used. He dealt with ADHD, anxiety, and many other things in conjunction with medication side effects. For him, this was an invaluable study tool.

Someone at MIT's User Interface Design group is working on something like this, with a searchable transcript -- http://juhokim.com/lecturescape/ http://juhokim.com/lecturescape/

I've seen a few places that do this. edx was doing it for some courses at one point. Here's a demo from 3play: http://www.3playmedia.com/services-features/plugins/interactive-transcript/ http://www.3playmedia.com/services-features/plugins/interact...

You can do something like that with YouTube right now - any captioned video will have a rolling transcript window available to open, which you can scroll through and click on to jump around the video in a non-linear fashion.
