Google just made an announcement introducing Keep, its new note-taking service. Keep is currently available for devices running Android 4.0.3 and up, or through the Google Drive Web site. Notes will automatically sync between the Web site and the Android app.

After installing the Android app you'll be prompted to select the Google account you want to use with Keep. Once that's done, you can begin keeping notes. There are four different methods you can use to enter a note:

• A quick note directly from the text box on the initial screen.


• Add a checklist by tapping on the check mark icon.


• Create a voice memo by tapping on the microphone. All memos are instantly transcribed, keeping both the audio and text in the note.


• Add a photo as a note by tapping on the camera.

At any time you can add a checklist to an existing note by tapping on the menu button and selecting "Show Checkboxes."
