Lecture Transcription
Transcribe lectures into searchable text, then turn the transcript into notes, flashcards, quizzes, and summaries inside the same study workflow.
Quick answer
How do you transcribe a lecture for studying?
Upload or record the lecture audio in Scholarly. The transcript becomes searchable, then Scholarly structures it into study notes and active-recall materials so you are not stuck reading raw text.
Record or upload
Use live lecture audio or an existing recording.
Get transcript
Scholarly turns the audio into searchable lecture text.
Create study material
Generate notes, flashcards, quizzes, and summaries from the transcript.
What lecture transcription unlocks

Better notes
Convert the transcript into an organized study guide.
Flashcards
Turn definitions, examples, and key facts into active-recall cards.
Exam review
Summarize weeks of lecture content before a test.
Input
Recorded lecture audio or video with audio.
Output
Transcript plus notes, summaries, flashcards, and quizzes.
Best for
Students who need more than a raw transcription file.
Lecture transcription should lead to studying
A transcript is useful for search, but it can still be too long to review. Scholarly adds the next step: organize and convert the transcript into things you can study.
Built for academic language
Lecture transcription needs to preserve terminology, examples, formulas, and context. Scholarly is optimized around class material instead of generic meeting notes.
Use transcripts as source material
Once the lecture is transcribed, you can ask questions, create a study guide, or generate flashcards from the exact lecture content.
