Beta

Annota: mark up the web like it’s paper.

Draw, highlight and point on any web page or PDF, present it to a class, and turn what you collect into notes, worksheets and flashcards.

A lesson page marked up with Annota: a highlight, a circled word, numbered labels on a diagram and a note with an arrow

Everything a lesson needs, on the page itself

No screenshots pasted into another app, no retyping. Turn Annota on with its icon or Alt+Shift+D, and every tool is one key away.

Draw and highlight

  • Pen, highlighter, arrows, boxes, circles, text notes and numbered markers
  • Draw a rough line or circle and hold still: it straightens itself out
  • Drawings stay on the page and come back next time

Present

  • A laser pointer and disappearing ink your class can see in a video call
  • Spotlight what matters, magnify small print
  • A whiteboard over the page, or beside it
  • Replay your drawings one step at a time

Collect and make notes

  • Collect text with its links, and snapshots with your drawings on them
  • Combine pages into notes with headings, tables, pictures and YouTube clips
  • Blank out words for a worksheet with an answer key, or flashcards to study

PDFs, backups and sharing

  • Draw on PDFs, search them, and download a copy with your drawings
  • Back up everything to one file, and move it to another computer
  • Share a prepared lesson with a colleague as a file
