Lecture transcription that turns into study material

Yes. Upload the recording - MP3, M4A, WAV, WebM, OGG, or a video file like MP4 - and Scholarly generates a timestamped transcript, usually within a few minutes for a typical lecture.

Yes. Use Scholarly's built-in recorder to capture class audio from a laptop or phone. Transcript lines appear live while you record, and the full timestamped transcript and notes are ready shortly after you stop. Check your school's recording policy and ask your professor first where required.

On the Free plan, each recording stops at 60 minutes, and you get 3 recordings in total. Premium and Laureate record up to 10 hours per recording, so 2 to 3 hour seminars and long workshops fit in one recording. If you upload a file longer than your limit, the full audio is kept but only the first 60 minutes (Free) or 10 hours (paid) are transcribed. Longer recordings take a little more time to process after you stop.

Yes. Every line of the transcript is timestamped, and clicking a line jumps the player to that moment. Speaker labels are not added, and the transcript is not edited in place, so where who-said-what matters, check the timestamp against the audio.

Yes. The transcript is fully searchable - find a term, formula, or example without scrubbing through the recording. You can also ask the AI chat about the lecture and get answers that cite the exact passage.

Yes. From the same recording you can generate structured notes, spaced-repetition flashcards, practice quizzes, and summaries - all grounded in what was actually said in class. It isn't limited to lectures: AI Meeting Notes turns study groups, seminars, and interviews into the same study-ready output.

Scholarly detects the spoken language automatically, so you do not choose it before recording, and the summary, topics, and title come back in that same language instead of being translated into English. Flashcards, quizzes, and other study material made from the recording can be generated in any of the 70+ output languages in Scholarly's language picker. If your language is less widely spoken, try a short recording first to check the transcript quality.

Yes, to start. Free includes 3 recordings in total (the allowance does not reset), each with up to 60 minutes of transcription and automatic notes, plus live transcript lines while you record. No credit card is needed. The transcript and notes do not use AI Creation Credits; Free's one lifetime AI Creation Credit can turn a recording into flashcards, a quiz, or a study guide. Premium includes 20 recordings a week and Laureate 100, each up to 10 hours. Downloading the audio is a paid feature.

To transcribe a lecture, upload the audio (MP3, M4A, WAV, or a video file) to Scholarly, or record the class live in your browser. Scholarly converts the recording into searchable, timestamped text - a 90-minute lecture is usually ready in a few minutes. The transcript stays attached to the recording, so from the same source you can generate structured notes, flashcards, and a quiz, and ask the AI chat questions that cite the lecture passage they came from.
