Word by word
Reads as it’s said
The transcript keeps pace with the lecturer, so you read along in real time instead of falling behind.
Turn lectures into notes you can actually study.
Start recording at the front of the hall and get a running transcript you can read, search and revisit — so you can follow the argument instead of racing to write it down.
- Speaker-labelled, as you speak
- Holds up in a loud room
- Audio is never kept after a session
You can’t listen and transcribe at the same time
Stop to write and you miss the next point. Technical terms, theorem names and figures read aloud go past faster than you can note them, and by revision week your handwriting is a mystery.
A live transcript keeps pace with the lecturer so your attention can stay on understanding, not stenography.
What you get
Used by students, note-takers and accessibility services.
Vocabulary
Handles the jargon
Subject terminology, names and numbers read aloud — it keeps up with a technical lecture, not just casual speech.
Revision
Jump to any moment
Every line is timestamped, so you can scrub back to the part you didn’t follow when you come to revise.
Questions
How long can one recording be?
Long enough for a full lecture. The free tier covers 60 minutes a month; regular or back-to-back lectures are what the paid plans are for.
Does it handle technical terms?
The transcription model is built for specialised terminology and numbers, so subject-specific vocabulary and figures come through far better than on a general dictation tool.
Can I search the transcript afterwards?
Yes. The finished transcript is text you can search, and every line carries a timestamp so you can jump straight to the moment you need.
