Your full lecture is study material now
Here’s the thing about lectures: you already sat through it. Ninety minutes of your one precious life, spent in a room that smells like dry-erase markers. And what do you have to show for it? Four lines of notes, one of which just says “IMPORTANT???” with no other context.
We fixed that. Lecture Mode is live. RIGHT NOW!
Hit record when your professor starts talking. Hit stop when they mercifully finish. Pause while they drone on about their cat’s quinceañera (Happy birthday, Mr. Mittens). Resume when they start teaching again. Hit save. From there, we’ll turn the whole thing into an assignment: a full transcript, a summary, study notes, and a flashcard deck if you want one. You just have to physically show up, which, frankly, was always the hardest part.
Thirty-eight minutes in and still listening. The waveform moves when your professor does. If it flatlines, check your mic. Or your professor.
What happens when you hit stop
You get the whole pipeline, not just a pile of raw audio you’ll never listen to again:
- A real transcript. The whole lecture, cleaned up and readable. We strip the “um”s and the false starts and keep everything that matters, in your professor’s own words. If the audio is garbled we say so instead of making something up. We’re a lot of things, but we’re not going to invent chemistry at you.
- The bottom line, up front. One paragraph at the top that tells you what the lecture actually covered. Skimmable in ten seconds, which is roughly your attention span the night before an exam. We know. We’ve seen the timestamps.
- A title and a date. Every recording files itself as “2026-07-09 - The Krebs Cycle” instead of “New Recording 47.” You will never scroll through a graveyard of mystery audio files here.
- Summary notes, on demand. Key topics, definitions, and the points your professor kept hammering, which is professor-speak for “this is on the exam.” It’s the notes you would have taken in some parallel universe where you take good notes.
- A flashcard deck, if you want it. Same generation you already know, pointed at the transcript. Flashcards ready to help you study, memorize content, and pass that F&$#!ING test!
- The original audio, playable. Right there in the assignment, in case you want to confirm your professor really did spend eleven minutes on a tangent about their sabbatical.
And yes, the snitch is included
Remember citations? They work on lectures automatically. Every AI-generated card links to the exact paragraph of the transcript where your professor said the thing. Tap the tag, read the source, confirm we didn’t make it up. Your move, “some guy on a forum said the mitochondria thing is wrong.”
As far as we can tell, nobody else gives you receipts on your own lecture. We checked. It was a fun afternoon.
The fine print, delivered plainly
- Lecture Mode is for Basic and Pro subscribers. Basic is $1.99 a month. A competitor charges about twenty dollars a month for their version. We counted the zeros twice. Still $1.99.
- Recordings run up to 90 minutes. If your lecture goes longer than that, it’s a conversation between you, your professor, and their conscience. We’ll keep the full recording up to the 90 minute mark.
- Ask before you record people. Seriously. Some states and most schools have rules about recording humans, and getting permission is your job, not ours. We are a flashcard app, not your lawyer.
- Discard means discard. If you trash a recording it never leaves your device. And when you delete a lecture assignment, the audio and transcript go with it. Your professor’s tangents deserve dignity in death.
Go record something
It’s live now. Open the app, start a new assignment, and hit record at the start of your next class. Sit there. Exist. Maybe even listen. We’ll handle the part where it becomes something you can actually study.
Attendance: finally worth something.
