Turn lecture recordings into revision notes

Exam season shouldn't start with a pile of half-finished notes. Upload your lecture recordings and NoteMate turns them into structured, study-ready revision notes — key concepts, definitions, and examples, organised for review.

Messy notes don't work at exam time

Revision is hard enough without first having to decode what you scribbled down three months ago. Gaps where the lecturer went too fast. Abbreviations you no longer understand. Whole lectures you missed and never caught up on.

NoteMate works from the recording, not your handwriting — so your revision notes are complete, structured, and searchable, even for the weeks you were behind.

From recording to revision-ready in minutes

1. Record or upload

Record the lecture live, or upload lecture-capture audio afterwards. MP3, WAV, M4A, and most formats work.

2. Get the transcript

A full, timestamped transcript with the lecturer and student questions labelled separately.

3. Generate revision notes

Choose the lecture notes format for a structured outline of key concepts, definitions, and examples.

Built for how you actually revise

Catch up on missed lectures fast

Upload the lecture-capture recording and read the outline instead of re-watching the whole hour. Use the clickable timestamps to jump into the audio only where you need the full explanation. If you're behind on a whole module, our guide on catching up when you've fallen behind in lectures walks through the process.

Self-test with Q&A extracts

Generate a Q&A version of the lecture to quiz yourself with — active recall beats re-reading. Pair it with the key-concepts outline for a complete revision loop.

Search your whole semester

Every transcript and summary is searchable. When a past-paper question mentions a concept you half-remember, find the exact lecture — and the exact minute — where it was explained.

Organise by module

Keep one colour-coded folder per module, so everything for each exam is in one place when revision starts.

Revision notes, study notes — same thing, sorted

Whether you call them revision notes or study notes, the goal is the same: complete, structured material you can actually review before an exam. NoteMate produces them from any lecture recording, in minutes, on any device with a browser. Students with dysgraphia, dyslexia, or ADHD — where note-taking itself is the barrier — can read about how NoteMate supports accessible note-taking.

Frequently asked questions

Record the lecture on your phone or laptop (or upload an existing recording), and NoteMate transcribes it with timestamps and speaker labels. Then choose the lecture notes format and NoteMate generates a structured outline of key concepts, definitions, and examples — ready to revise from in minutes.

AI notes work best as a complete, structured starting point. NoteMate captures everything that was said — so nothing is missed — and organises it into key concepts and definitions. You then spend your time on the part that actually helps you learn: reviewing, condensing, and self-testing, instead of transcribing.

Get the recording (most universities publish lecture capture), upload it to NoteMate, and read the generated lecture outline first — usually a few minutes of reading instead of an hour of listening. Use the timestamped transcript to jump into the recording only where you need the full explanation.

Yes — revision notes (UK) and study notes (US) are the same idea, and NoteMate produces both from any lecture recording: structured outlines, key-concept summaries, and Q&A extracts you can use for self-testing.

The free tier includes 60 minutes of transcription every month with no credit card required. Paid plans with more minutes are available at student-friendly prices for heavier revision periods.
