Every line links back to the moment it was said.
The problem
Listening to a two-hour lecture again to find one definition is a bad use of a study week.
- Finding one definition means replaying a two-hour recording
- Notes taken during a lecture miss whatever was said while you were writing
- Revision starts from audio files nobody wants to open again
What changes
Lectures become searchable text with timecodes, plus a summary of the main points to revise from.
- Search a lecture instead of replaying it
- Summaries to revise from before an exam
- Free tier covers regular use
What matters here
Sixty free minutes a month
Enough for regular note-taking without a subscription.
Room recordings
Phones on a desk in a lecture hall are the hard case — put the phone as close to the speaker as you can.

Students: common questions
What comes up when the recordings are students.
Is the free plan really enough for a term?
Sixty minutes a month covers about one lecture. Heavier use needs a paid plan or pay-as-you-go from $0.10 a minute — we would rather say that than pretend the free tier stretches further than it does.
My phone sits on the desk, not near the lecturer. Will it work?
It will, but that is the hardest case: a phone across the room picks up more echo than voice. Accuracy improves substantially if the phone faces the speaker.
Can I get the notes into Word?
Yes — export to Word, PDF, or plain text and edit from there. Nothing stays locked in the tool.
