How it works
Any recording works — phone voice memo, laptop, or a dictaphone. Upload after class and read it back.
Use your phone's voice memo app, your laptop, or a recorder. MP3, M4A, WAV, and MP4 all work — long recordings are fine.
Upload it. Encrypted in transit and at rest. We run open-source Whisper on private infrastructure — nothing goes to OpenAI, Google, or any third party.
A timestamped transcript appears. Search for a topic, jump to that second of audio, and export to DOCX or TXT for your notes. Delete when you're done.
Why transcribe a lecture
A transcript turns an hour of audio into notes you can actually work with.
Zoned out for a minute or missed a definition? Read exactly what was said instead of scrubbing the recording back and forth.
Every line is timestamped. Search "eigenvalue" or a date and jump straight to the moment it came up — review the two minutes that matter before an exam.
Export to DOCX or TXT and turn the transcript into an outline, flashcards, or a summary. The first draft of your notes is done.
100+ languages. Transcribe a lecture in its language, or export an English translation track if that's easier to review.
Pricing
A short seminar clip is free. A 1-hour lecture runs about $2. Prorated to the second; no per-seat licensing; no monthly minimum — friendly to a student budget.

A note on recording lectures: many schools allow recording for personal study, but some require the instructor's permission (disability-services offices often arrange it formally). Check your institution's recording policy and get permission where it's required. Whipscribe is a study tool, not legal advice.
