NoteMate

Flashcards and quizzes from your lectures

Record the lecture once. NoteMate writes the notes, then turns them into a flashcard deck and a practice quiz, so revision starts from what your lecturer actually said.

1 flashcard set and 1 quiz a month free. No card needed.

How it works

1. Record or upload

Record in the browser or the iOS app, or upload a lecture you already have. Nothing joins a call and nothing needs installing on the lecturer's side.

2. Get structured notes

NoteMate transcribes the lecture and writes notes organised by topic, with a searchable, timestamped transcript underneath.

3. Revise with cards and a quiz

Generate a flashcard deck, reviewed on a spaced-repetition schedule, and a multiple-choice quiz. Every card links back to the moment in the recording it came from.

What you get, from a real lecture

Taken from the sample lecture on how memory works.

A flashcard

Three stages of memory

Question

What are the three stages of memory?

Answer

Encoding, storage and retrieval. Most everyday failures happen at retrieval rather than the memory having been lost.

A quiz question

Three stages of memory

Where do most everyday memory failures happen?

A Encoding Your answer

Encoding failures are real, but the lecture's point was that the material usually did go in - what fails is getting it back out.

B Storage
C Retrieval Correct

The memory is still there; the cue is missing. Being given the first letter of a name is usually enough to recover it.

D Consolidation
Why not the others?

Storage

This assumes the memory decayed away. The tip-of-the-tongue example shows it is still there, waiting for the right cue.

Consolidation

Consolidation is how a memory stabilises after encoding - a real stage, but not the one identified as the common failure point.

Why flashcards from the lecture, not from a textbook

Retrieval practice, testing yourself rather than rereading, is one of the most reliable ways to remember material for an exam. The hard part is writing the questions. Most students skip it because making a good deck takes as long as the lecture did.

Building the deck from the lecture recording means the cards cover what was taught in your module, in the order it was taught, with the terms your lecturer used. When a card does not make sense, the timestamp takes you straight to the explanation.

Frequently asked questions

Record the lecture in the browser or the iOS app, or upload a recording. NoteMate transcribes it, writes structured notes, and then builds flashcards from those notes. Every card keeps the timestamp it came from, so you can tap through to hear that part of the lecture again.

Multiple-choice questions from the same lecture. Every option comes with an explanation, including the wrong ones, which say what makes them wrong rather than just repeating the right answer.

Yes, to start. The free plan includes 1 flashcard set and 1 quiz a month, plus 300 minutes of recording, with no card needed. Premium removes the monthly limit on flashcards and quizzes.

Yes. Upload the audio or video file (up to 2GB) and NoteMate treats it the same as a live recording.

Yes. NoteMate detects the spoken language automatically, and your notes, flashcards and quizzes can be written in a different one, so you can record an English lecture and revise in your first language.
