Yes! It is absolutely fine to repeat the keywords a few times to ensure the machine can understand you
better.

When note taking, keywords are mainly nouns, numbers, verbs and Adjectives
So for example if the sentence is: It is important that students must understand the lecture in order to pass
the exam.

Then keywords are: important, students, understand, lecture, pass, exam
