Lecture to notes FAQs

How does Lecture to notes work?

Upload a recording of your lecture. StudyCoach turns the speech into text, then writes organized notes with headings and bullet points, a short summary, key terms, flashcards and a multiple-choice quiz, all from what the lecture actually said.

What files can I upload?

MP3, M4A, WAV and WebM audio, or MP4 video, up to 25 MB. That is usually about 25 to 50 minutes of audio, depending on how it was recorded; a phone voice memo (M4A) fits more minutes than a WAV file. Video files are much bigger, so short clips work best.

Is my recording saved?

No. Your recording is uploaded to private storage, sent to our AI provider to be transcribed, and deleted straight afterwards. The transcript and notes are saved in your account so you can study from them, and you can delete them at any time.

How many lectures can I turn into notes?

A free account can turn 3 lectures into notes every 30 days. Premium gets 50 lectures every 30 days, with more flashcards and quiz questions for each one.

Can I record a lecture with it?

Not yet. Record the lecture with your phone's voice recorder (where your teacher allows recording), then upload the file here.

Are the notes always right?

AI can mishear words, especially names and technical terms, or miss something your teacher stressed. Check the notes against your course materials, and use the transcript tab to see exactly what was heard.
