How to Record a Lecture and Turn It into Notes with AI

Before the lecture: ask, then set up

Check your institution's rules and ask the lecturer before recording; many allow it for personal study. Put the phone face-up near the front, or open NoteBase in the browser on your laptop, and allow the microphone once.

During the lecture: record and listen

Open the recorder in NoteBase and press record, and keep the app open while it runs. Write down only what the audio cannot carry - a diagram on the board, a page number - and spend the rest of the hour listening.

After the lecture: get the notes

Stop the recording and NoteBase transcribes it. The note comes back with a summary of the lecture, the key concepts, and the full transcript with a timestamp on every paragraph, so a point you missed is one click from the moment it was said.

• A summary and key concepts on top
• The full transcript, timestamped and searchable
• Notes in your language, even if the lecture was not

Before the exam: revise from it

Open the note's tools and choose Exam Room to generate flashcards and a practice quiz from what was actually said in class. Ask the AI chat to explain a part again, or search across every lecture of the term at once.
