AI Meeting Notes for Students
Record a live lecture and walk out with a transcript, structured notes, flashcards, and a practice exam — all from one AI Meeting Notes capture. The AI Meeting Notes app built for studying, not just meeting notes.
Free to start · No credit card · Works on web and mobile
How to record and summarize a lecture
Tap record at the start of class. Everything else happens automatically.
Tap record
Start recording at the beginning of class — on the web or the mobile app. Then put your laptop away and actually listen.
Get a transcript
When the lecture ends, Scholarly transcribes the full audio into searchable, timestamped text within minutes.
Get notes and cards
The AI turns the transcript into structured notes, key-term definitions, and a flashcard deck for the lecture.
Sit a practice exam
Generate a practice test from these AI Meeting Notes and check your understanding before the next class — or before the real exam.
One AI Meeting Notes capture, a full set of study material
A transcript on its own is a wall of text. Scholarly turns AI Meeting Notes into things you can actually study from.
Accurate transcription
Record live lectures and get a clean, searchable transcript with timestamps so you can jump straight to any moment.
Structured lecture notes
Scholarly turns the transcript into an outline — key terms, definitions, and the lecture's main arguments, not a wall of text.
Auto-generated flashcards
Every AI Meeting Notes item produces a flashcard deck — one card per concept — that drops straight into spaced repetition.
Practice exam from class
Generate a full practice test from a single lecture with multiple-choice and short-answer questions plus instant feedback.
Search every lecture
Transcripts are fully searchable, so finding the one definition you need takes seconds instead of scrubbing through audio.
Record on any device
Capture lectures on the web, iOS, or Android. AI Meeting Notes, notes, and decks sync across every device automatically.
What you get after AI Meeting Notes
From a single 50-minute economics lecture.
Full transcript — searchable, timestamped, so you can jump to any moment.
Structured notes — key terms, definitions, and the lecture's main arguments in outline form.
18 flashcards — one per concept, ready to drill with spaced repetition.
A practice exam — multiple-choice and short-answer questions with instant feedback.
Why create AI Meeting Notes from your lectures?
A lecture recorder app captures your class as audio so you don't have to write while you listen. Scholarly goes further: tap record in any browser on your phone or laptop, and when class ends you get a searchable transcript plus structured notes, a flashcard deck, and a practice exam — all generated from that one recording. It's an AI meeting notes app built for studying, not just for capturing meetings.
Trying to write notes while a professor is talking is a losing trade. You either listen and miss the notes, or take notes and miss the explanation. Capturing the lecture removes that trade-off entirely — you can give the lecture your full attention and let AI capture every word.
But raw audio, or even a raw transcript, is not study material. Scrubbing back through 50 minutes of audio to find one definition is slower than re-reading the textbook. That's the gap Scholarly's AI Meeting Notes closes: it doesn't just record and transcribe lectures, it turns each capture into structured notes you can skim, flashcards you can drill, and a practice exam you can sit.
This matters most for the lectures you can't afford to miss — fast-paced STEM classes, dense theory courses, and anything in a language you're still learning. Live capture gives you a safety net; the AI summary turns that net into something genuinely useful within minutes of class ending.
Because everything lands in the same place as your other study material, an AI Meeting Notes source becomes part of one review loop. The flashcards from Monday's lecture join the deck you're already revising, and the practice exam covers the whole unit — not just one class. To see the full audio player, transcript view, and chaptering, visit the AI Meeting Notes feature page.
Scholarly vs. Otter for AI Meeting Notes
Otter is a strong transcription tool — here's an honest look at where each one fits.
Where it shines: fast, accurate live transcription, real-time captions, and strong speaker labeling for meetings.
Built primarily for business meetings — calendar integrations, meeting summaries, and team workflows.
The output stops at a transcript and a summary. There are no flashcards and no practice exam.
No spaced-repetition study schedule — you still move the content into a separate app to revise.
Where it shines: AI Meeting Notes are the start of a full study workflow, not the end product.
Built for students — every AI Meeting Notes item becomes structured notes, flashcards, and a practice exam automatically.
Flashcards from each lecture join your existing decks and a spaced-repetition schedule.
Transcript, notes, podcasts, and study material all live in one student account — nothing to copy across apps.
AI Meeting Notes — frequently asked questions
How does the AI Meeting Notes work?
Tap record at the start of class on the web or mobile app. When the lecture ends, Scholarly transcribes the audio, then generates structured notes, a flashcard deck, and a practice exam from the transcript — all within minutes.
Is this a good Otter alternative for students?
Yes. Otter is excellent at live transcription, but it's built for business meetings and stops at a transcript and summary. Scholarly is built for students — every AI Meeting Notes item also becomes structured notes, flashcards, and a practice exam, all inside one study account.
Can it record and summarize lectures automatically?
Yes. Once capture finishes, Scholarly automatically produces a transcript, an outline of structured notes, and study material. You don't have to summarize anything by hand.
Does it work as AI Meeting Notes app on my phone?
Yes. Scholarly works on the web, iOS, and Android. You can create AI Meeting Notes on your phone and your transcript, notes, and flashcards sync to every device.
How accurate is the transcription?
Transcription is highly accurate for clear classroom audio. Heavy background noise, very quiet speakers, or strong accents can reduce accuracy, so review the transcript for any critical details before relying on it.
Is it okay to record my lectures?
Recording rules vary by school and instructor. Many institutions allow recording for personal study, but some require permission. Check your course policy and ask your professor if you're unsure before recording.
Is the AI Meeting Notes free?
You can start for free with no credit card. Free accounts can record and transcribe lectures within the free plan's limits; Ultimate unlocks more AI Meeting Notes, longer lectures, and higher generation limits.
What's the best lecture recorder app for students?
For studying, the best lecture recorder app is one that turns the recording into something you can revise from. Pure recorders and even Otter stop at a transcript. Scholarly records the class and automatically produces structured notes, flashcards, and a practice exam from it — in one student account, on any device, with no install.
Can I record a lecture on my laptop and phone?
Yes. Scholarly runs in the browser, so you can record a lecture on a laptop, Chromebook, iPhone, or Android with no separate app to install. Your recording, transcript, notes, and flashcards sync across every device, so you can capture on your phone in class and review on your laptop later.
