Capture Any Lecture Format
However your professor delivers the material, OneStudy turns it into notes you can study from in minutes.
Audio Recordings
Record the lecture on your phone or laptop and upload the audio. OneStudy turns it into notes organized by topic — no more scrubbing through an hour of tape to find one definition.
Lecture Slides & PDFs
Upload PowerPoint or PDF slide decks and get structured notes that mirror the lecture flow, filling in the context your professor said out loud but never put on the slide.
YouTube & Video Lectures
Paste a link to a recorded class or online lecture and OneStudy reads the content, keeps the key concepts, and drops the filler.
Photos of Whiteboards & Notes
Snap a picture of the board or your handwritten notes. OneStudy reads them and rebuilds a clean, organized version — even for diagrams and equations.
From material to mastery in three steps
Add your lecture
Upload audio, slides, or paste a video link. One lecture or a whole semester — it handles both.
AI writes your notes
OneStudy extracts the concepts, structures them by topic, and writes notes that read like the best student in class took them.
Study & review
Turn the notes into flashcards, quizzes, and a podcast in one click — or ask the built-in tutor to explain anything you missed.
More Than a Transcript
Transcription apps stop at words. OneStudy turns the lecture into something you can actually learn from.
Concept Extraction, Not Just Transcription
OneStudy identifies definitions, key arguments, and examples — then organizes them so your notes are structured for understanding, not a wall of text.
One Click to Flashcards & Quizzes
Every set of notes becomes active-recall flashcards and practice quizzes instantly, so you move from "I watched the lecture" to "I know this material."
Ask Your Notes Anything
A built-in AI tutor works from what was covered in the lecture and answers your follow-up questions in context.
Turn Lectures Into Podcasts
Rather listen? Convert your notes into a natural-sounding audio rundown you can play on the walk to class.
Fully Editable
Notes come out as clean, editable documents. Tweak a heading, add your own insight, or reorganize — it's yours to shape.
Mastery Tracking
As you review, OneStudy tracks which topics you've mastered and which still need work, so you always know where to focus before the exam.
AI Lecture Note Taker vs. Recording It Yourself
