Lecture notes

Lecture notes
you didn't have to write.

Press record at the start of class, listen properly instead of scribbling, and leave with study notes: a summary, the key points, a mind map and a searchable record of every word. Revise from them the night before the exam. The transcription that makes it work happens on your own device, so nothing is uploaded and nothing is metered.

How it works

Three steps, no upload.

  1. 1

    Record in class

    On iPhone, Mac or Apple Watch, with recording continuing in the background. Or import a recording from the lecture capture system.

  2. 2

    Get the transcript

    The lecture is transcribed on your device when you stop, with the lecturer and questions from the room told apart.

  3. 3

    Turn it into notes

    Summary, key points, a mind map, or ask the AI to explain a section. Export to Notes, Markdown or PDF.

Features

Notes that write themselves while you listen.

Unlimited lectures

A 90-minute lecture costs nothing extra. Record every class all semester for one flat price.

Summaries and mind maps

One tap turns a rambling hour into a structured summary or a mind map you can revise from.

Ask the lecture

“What did the professor say about entropy?” Answers cite the exact lines and jump the audio there.

Search the whole semester

Every transcript is indexed. Find the one lecture where a topic was introduced in seconds.

Any language of instruction

90+ languages detected automatically, so international students get the same transcript quality.

Works offline

Record and transcribe in the library basement or on the train. Transcription needs no connection.

Privacy

Why on-device matters for students.

Cloud note apps charge monthly and by the minute, and a semester of lectures adds up fast. ThinkScribe transcribes on the phone or laptop you already own, so cost does not scale with how much you record, and the recordings stay yours.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can I record a whole lecture on my iPhone?

Yes. Recording continues in the background, and a long lecture is transcribed on the device after you stop. There is no length limit.

Will it work with the lecture recordings my university publishes?

Yes. Import the audio file (MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC or OGG) from Files and it transcribes like a live recording.

Can it make study notes?

One tap gives you a summary, key points, action items or a mind map, and the chat can explain any part of the lecture, all generated on your device.
