Transcribe a Yiddish shiur and keep the week's learning in writing.
A 75-minute Yiddish shiur recorded in the United States comes back as text in Hebrew script in under 3 minutes, with Yiddish detected automatically and English asides handled in the same pass. After the first 20 minutes free, six weekly shiurim of 75 minutes, 450 minutes, fit the $6 pack of 500 minutes.
For the person who records the shiur
The shiur is given in Yiddish, with the Gemara quoted in the original and an English word where it fits. The talmidim want to review it before the next one.
The shiur's line of thought
The brief gives the question the shiur set out to answer and where it ended up, a review sheet before the next class.
Sources located
Tractates, chapters, commentators and dates said aloud are listed with timestamps, so a talmid can return to the moment a source was brought.
Questions the shiur answers
The output lists the questions the recording answers, and the chat over the transcript finds the spot where a particular point was made.

Sample output
A Yiddish shiur, with one English question from the room.
Illustrative lines written for this page; they are not from any shiur, yeshiva or teacher. In English: 'Today we continue learning the chapter, and we begin with the Mishnah'; 'The answer is simple: the first case is different from the second'; an English question from a listener; 'Yes, and that brings us to Rashi on the spot'; 'We will continue next week, God willing.'

FAQ
Yiddish shiurim, answered.
How long does a Yiddish shiur take?
Under 3 minutes for 75 minutes of audio, at about 2 minutes per hour. A 45-minute morning shiur takes about a minute and a half, and a two-hour Motzei Shabbos shiur about 4.
How good is the Yiddish text?
Yiddish is detected automatically and written in Hebrew script. Plan on it as a fast first draft with one review pass, particularly for Hebrew and Aramaic quotations, the names of sources and the spelling conventions your readers expect. The first 20 minutes are free, so you can judge a recording of your own maggid shiur before buying.
What does a month of daily shiurim cost?
A daily 45-minute shiur, six days a week, uses 270 minutes a week, about 1,080 minutes over four weeks, which fits the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes. A weekly 90-minute shiur for a whole year, 52 of them, comes to 4,680 minutes on the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes. Packs are paid once in US dollars and the credits never expire.
Will Hebrew and Aramaic quotations come through?
The recording is detected on its main language, Yiddish, and quotations in Hebrew or Aramaic appear in Hebrew script within the same text; they are the lines most worth a second look. English asides and questions from the room are handled in the same pass.
The shiur was recorded on a small recorder. Will the file upload?
Yes. Recorder files such as MP3 or WAV usually upload as they are; a 75-minute MP3 is well under 100 MB, and a 75-minute WAV, around 800 MB, stays under the 2 GB allowed before a first pack. One file can run up to 10 hours or 5 GB. If a shiur already sits on YouTube or in a podcast feed, paste the link instead.
Is the recording private, and what comes back?
Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. Downloads are TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON, and the archive stays in the account that uploaded it.
