Lecture recording tool
AI Lecture Recorder
Record live lectures and turn them into transcripts, structured notes, flashcards, and study materials. Stay focused in class instead of trying to type every sentence.
Quick answer
What does an AI lecture recorder do?
An AI lecture recorder captures class audio, transcribes it, identifies the important concepts, and turns the recording into study materials like notes, summaries, flashcards, and practice questions.
Start recording
Record the lecture in Scholarly or upload an existing audio file.
AI transcribes
Get searchable text plus structured notes from the lecture.
Study from it
Convert the lecture into flashcards, quizzes, summaries, or a study guide.
What the recorder helps with
Lecture capture
Keep a searchable record of what was said in class.
Cleaner notes
Turn raw audio into headings, definitions, examples, and key ideas.
Active recall
Generate flashcards and quizzes from the lecture.
Review later
Find the moment you missed without scrubbing through a full recording.
Input
Live lecture audio or uploaded recordings.
Output
Transcript, notes, summaries, cards, and quizzes.
Best for
Students who want to listen in class and study from the recording later.
Record first, organize after
Trying to write down every sentence makes it harder to listen. Scholarly captures the lecture, then organizes the important material after class.
A transcript is only the starting point
Raw transcripts are long. Scholarly turns the transcript into study notes, definitions, examples, and active-recall material.
Use responsibly in class
Recording rules vary by school, professor, and location. Ask for permission when required and follow your course policy.
