Use case · Lectures
Attend the lecture. Read it later.
Listening and note-taking compete for the same brain. Record the class, stay present in it, and get back a searchable transcript that’s better than any notes you’d have typed.
The whole lecture, captured
Set your iPhone on the desk, tap record, and give the lecture your full attention. The app writes audio to disk as it’s spoken — a locked screen or a low battery won’t eat the class — and when it’s over, transcription runs automatically. No exporting files, no upload queue between you and your notes.
From 90 minutes of audio to 5 minutes of review
The transcript comes back with speaker labels, so the lecturer’s argument reads separately from questions in the room. Search it for the concept you half-remember. Copy the passage that will be on the exam. With Recorder Pro, a structured summary with key points sits on top of every recording up to 90 minutes — revision notes that wrote themselves during the lecture.
Works for the rest of student life too
Seminar discussions, supervision meetings, group-project planning, dissertation interviews — anything spoken becomes text you can cite, quote, and organise. Start with the 3 free transcriptions and see what your notes look like when you didn’t have to take them.
Frequently asked questions
How long can a lecture recording be?
With Recorder Pro, a single memo can run up to 90 minutes — enough for a standard lecture or seminar block — and still come back as one clean transcript with a summary.
Can I search across my lecture transcripts?
Yes. Transcripts are searchable from the memo list, so “where did she explain the proof?” becomes a two-second search instead of an hour of scrubbing audio.
Does it separate the lecturer from questions in the room?
Speaker labels are applied automatically, so the lecturer’s thread stays distinct from student questions and discussion.
Am I allowed to record lectures?
Policies differ by institution and country — many universities allow personal-study recordings, others require permission. Check your course rules or ask the lecturer first.
