⚙️ Upload and language

  2. Set the language

⏳ Processing time

Short recordings finish quickly. Longer audio may take a few minutes. Keep the tab open until the transcript appears.

📝 What you get: Notes and Transcript

You will see two tabs in the document:

  • Notes
    Cleaned and structured content created from your audio. Think of it as an organised summary with sections and key points that is ready for studying. You can highlight, generate flashcards, write manual cards, and start quizzes or exam simulations from here.

  • Transcript
    The verbatim text of your audio, often with timestamps. Use Copy All Text or Download Transcript to keep a copy.

🐞 Quality and corrections

  • If something looks off, click Report Transcript on the right to send us the issue.

  • If the language is wrong, reupload the file and set the correct language instead of Auto Detect.
