AI notes tool
Audio to Notes
Upload lecture audio, seminar recordings, or study-group discussions and turn them into organized notes with definitions, examples, timestamps, and study actions.
Quick answer
Can AI turn audio into notes?
Yes. Scholarly transcribes your audio, identifies the important ideas, and organizes them into notes you can study from. You can then create flashcards, quizzes, summaries, or a study guide from the same recording.

Best for
Turning long recordings into material you can review quickly.
Audio notes that are more than a transcript
Audio-to-text tools give you raw text. Scholarly turns the recording into notes with headings, definitions, examples, and key takeaways.
Useful when the source is spoken
Some of the best study material is never written down: professor explanations, office hours, seminar discussions, and study groups. Audio to Notes captures that material.
Keep the study workflow moving
Once the notes are generated, convert them into flashcards, quizzes, cheat sheets, or podcasts without rebuilding the source.
