After creating a new note or selecting an existing note, the user will be taken to the text editor, which is central to the application's functionality. This provides the user with the ability to enter rich text into a document to take notes for the class. There are standard controls for formatting text, as would be seen in a normal text editor, but the interesting feature of this view is the ability to record video of the lecture that will be synced with the notes. (For the purposes of this design, we will assume that the user has a front-facing webcam of some sort to record the video)
During lecture, Ben takes notes on what the professor is saying and writing on the chalkboard and at the same time he is recording video of the whole lecture.

On the right side of the view is a toolbar for managing the video recording. There is also a button to allow the user to take a screenshot that can be inserted into the notes. When the screenshot is taken, a new window will appear to so the user can crop the photo to the correct size.
Several times, the professor draws important figures on the board that Ben wishes to include in his notes. He clicks the "take screenshot" button to crop the image and insert it with the text.
