Lecture Transcription
Turn Class Recordings into Notes
Most students record lectures on their phone or laptop and end up with an audio file they never have time to revisit. Transcribing that recording into searchable, skimmable text makes it actually useful — for exam revision, citation, or filling gaps you missed in your own notes during class.
Whisper is trained on a diverse corpus that includes academic and technical content, which means it handles scientific terminology, proper nouns, equations spoken aloud, and domain-specific jargon significantly better than consumer voice tools designed for everyday speech. The free tier covers audio-only transcription with no signup — which is all most students need.
Transcribe a lecture →How it works
Import your lecture recording
Load an MP3, M4A, or WAV file from your phone's Voice Memos app, a dedicated recorder, or a downloaded Zoom recording. Any format recorded in any classroom environment works.
Whisper handles technical vocabulary
Whisper's training corpus includes academic papers, textbooks, and lecture content — so it transcribes subject-specific terms, professor names, and equation phrasing more accurately than tools trained on general speech.
Export clean notes
Export plain text without timestamps — ready to paste into Notion, Obsidian, Google Docs, or your note-taking app of choice. Skim, search, and highlight the same way you would any text document.
Why students use AudioSRT
Academic vocabulary accuracy
Domain-specific terms, technical jargon, and field-specific proper nouns come through correctly instead of being replaced with phonetically similar common words.
Works with phone recordings
M4A files from iPhone Voice Memos and similar apps are natively supported. No conversion step needed — just load the file straight from your camera roll or Files app.
Completely free, no signup
The free tier handles audio-only transcription without an account. Most students don't need video features — so there's nothing to pay for and nothing to sign up for.
Progressive output
Transcription results appear in real-time as each segment completes. You can start reading the first part of the lecture while the rest is still processing.
Related tool: For voice memos, meeting recordings, or audio that isn't a lecture, the speech to text converter covers the same workflow and gives more detail on how Whisper handles different audio sources.
