Lecture Audio to Notes

Turn the Lecture Clip You Already Have Into Study-Ready Text.

Send a short recording to @vustScribeBot for a transcript, summary, and action items. Then review the text and copy the relevant section into your notes or StudyBot for practice questions. This is a deliberate manual flow, not a live recorder or a one-click flashcard factory.

Based on current Scribe behavior

Audio becomes text first; study material comes second

Scribe accepts an existing voice note or supported audio file and returns a transcript, summary, and action items in the recording's language. The learning step remains yours: review the source, keep the relevant notes, then give that text to StudyBot when you want practice questions.

Use recordings only where you have the necessary permission.

In short

Use Scribe for the file, not for live capture.

The useful knowledge gain is the workflow: first turn a bounded clip into reviewable text, then turn selected notes into active-recall questions. It is easier to audit than an opaque chain that claims to capture, summarize, and teach everything automatically.

Best for
Short lecture sections, office-hour voice notes, and recordings you already have.
Not ideal for
A live class or automatic attendance at a recurring meeting.
Common misconception
A transcript is not automatically verified notes. Check names, figures, and definitions against the recording before relying on them.

See the difference

The input limit and the manual study handoff are intentional parts of the workflow.

A 12-minute lecture segment

Before

You have the recording but cannot scan it, quote it in notes, or find the one definition your next assignment needs.

After

Send the segment to Scribe. It returns transcript, summary, and action items. Copy the key section into your notes or into StudyBot for practice questions. The handoff is manual and visible.

A 45-minute lecture

An existing recording

Your lecture runs 45 minutes and needs to remain whole so the explanation does not lose its context.

Practical next action

A trial recording can be up to 45 minutes within the shared trial budget. Core covers 2 hours, Pro 4 hours and Max 10 hours. Send the complete recording as a chat file up to 20 MB.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can Scribe record my lecture live?

No. Scribe does not record live audio, join classes, join calls, or access a calendar. You send a voice note, audio file, video note, or recording you already have permission to use.

Does it create flashcards automatically?

Not as a one-click pipeline. Scribe returns a transcript, summary, and action items. You can then copy the topic or a notes section into StudyBot to create practice questions, which keeps the handoff explicit and lets you check the source text first.

What are the limits, and what does it cost?

One recording: trial up to 45 min, Core 2 h, Pro 4 h, Max 10 h. Chat files up to 20 MB. Public file links have a 2 GB size ceiling. A recording within 10 hours that exceeds your plan limit is saved for seven days. Choose a plan that covers its duration, then Continue. Above 10 hours, send a shorter recording. Nothing is charged before processing. Your first transcription is free within the shared trial budget. If processing fails on our side, nothing is charged.

Is this a replacement for an AI recorder device?

It replaces the transcription step after you already have an audio file. It is not a recorder device and does not capture meetings automatically. A device or meeting bot is better when live capture is the actual requirement.
