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 a raw lecture recording, 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 lecture recorder closes: it doesn't just record and transcribe lectures, it turns each recording 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, a lecture recording 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.
