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, with no upload and no per-minute meter.
One purchase covers Mac, iPhone, iPhone Duo, iPad & Apple Watch.

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, OGG, WMA or AMR) 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.
Is there a student discount?
ThinkScribe is free to download and every Pro feature can be tried for free. Pro is one price for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. New subscribers get 44% off the first year ($44.99).
