Study from text, not the timeline
A recorded lecture is hard to revise from because you cannot skim audio the way you skim a page. A transcript lets you search for a term, reread the tricky explanation, and turn an hour of class into a set of notes you can highlight and quote.
Timestamps stay on every segment, so when a passage is confusing you can jump back to that exact minute of the recording and hear the professor say it again. Text and audio work together instead of forcing you to choose.
Full classes and note formats
Lectures often run fifty minutes to two hours, so the plan matters. The free tier covers files up to thirty minutes, while Pro takes recordings up to five hours, which fits a full class or a back-to-back seminar in one upload.
Export TXT to paste straight into your notes app, SRT or VTT if the class was a recorded video you want captioned, and DOCX on Pro when you want a formatted study document to keep or print.
Frequently asked questions
Can I transcribe a two-hour lecture?
On Pro you can, since it accepts files up to five hours long. Free accounts cap files at thirty minutes, so split a long class into shorter segments before uploading.
Will technical terms come through correctly?
Our transcription engine handles most academic vocabulary well, but rare names, equations spoken aloud, and specialized jargon can slip. Skim the transcript once and correct those terms against your own notes.
Can I record the lecture on my phone and upload it?
Yes. A phone voice memo in M4A or MP3 uploads directly, and sitting closer to the speaker with less room noise gives the cleanest, most accurate transcript for studying.
