Youdao Cloud Notes with OCR and AI assistance

Visit official site

What Youdao Cloud Notes is

A capture-everything note platform. Text, images, voice, handwriting and Markdown all land in the same synced library, with web clipping and OCR for the material that starts outside the app.

The AI layer works across the whole library: summaries, intelligent Q&A, writing polish and to-do generation, turning an archive into something answerable.

What you can do with it

  • Capture notes in text, image, voice, handwriting and Markdown
  • Clip web content directly into the library
  • OCR scans and convert PDFs to Word
  • Ask AI questions across your entire note collection
  • Generate to-dos and polish writing with AI

Who it is for

  • Students and office workers archiving mixed material
  • Users in the NetEase Youdao ecosystem
  • People who collect scans, clippings and voice alongside text
  • Knowledge workers wanting an answerable archive

What to watch out for

  • Naming and tag discipline determines how useful the AI layer is
  • Feature breadth can overwhelm users who only need simple notes
  • Primarily a Chinese-language product
  • Library privacy terms deserve a read before sensitive material goes in
