How to transcribe a lecture or class to study
In class it's hard to listen, understand, and take notes all at once. Something almost always slips through. Recording the class and transcribing it lets you focus on understanding, knowing you'll have the full text afterward.
Dolcenota turns the recording into ready-to-study notes: the full transcript, a summary of the key points, and the ability to ask the class questions, like reviewing with a classmate.
Transcribe a class in 3 steps
- 1
Record the class
Record from the Dolcenota app on your phone, or upload a recording you already have (from an in-person class or a Zoom or Meet session). We accept the most common audio and video formats.

In minutes you'll have the full text and a summary of the concepts and key points. It detects English and Spanish automatically — great for bilingual classes.

Study by asking the class questions
Didn't get a topic? Ask the transcript and AI answers based on what the professor explained. Export your notes to PDF or TXT.
From recording to study notes
The summary gives you the structure of the class: the main concepts and key ideas, perfect for reviewing before an exam without replaying the whole recording.
And since you have the full transcript, you can search any term the professor mentioned in seconds.
For students and teachers
- Students: record the class and study from the summary and Q&A.
- Teachers: transcribe your classes to build support material or captions.
- Talks and webinars: turn a long session into a usable summary.
