A semester of lectures you can actually search
Notes taken live are always incomplete — you are choosing, in real time, what to write down while the lecturer keeps talking. A transcript removes that trade-off: listen properly during the class, and read the complete version afterwards.
TranscribeX takes phone recordings, lecture capture exports, and recorded video calls in a single upload. Choose the teaching language, and for seminars enable speaker detection so a group discussion stays readable.
The real benefit shows up at revision time. A folder of transcripts is a searchable semester: find every lecture that mentioned a concept, pull the exact wording of a definition, and skim a two-hour session in ten minutes. Before recording anything, check your institution's policy — most require the lecturer's permission.

Frequently asked questions
Technically yes, but check your institution's policy first — many universities require the lecturer's permission before recording a class, and some prohibit it outright.
Mostly. Common academic and scientific terms transcribe well; very specialised jargon, formulae, and unusual proper nouns are where you will most often need to correct the text by hand.
Very. Reading a lecture is far more forgiving than following it live — you can look up unfamiliar terms and re-read a passage without missing what comes next.
Yes. MP4, MKV, and WEBM lecture captures upload directly, and the audio track is read automatically.
Up to 500 MB per upload. A two-hour lecture recorded at speech quality is comfortably within that.
