Audio-to-Text for Students: Transcribe Lectures, Capture Ideas, Stay Organized
We live in a wonderful world where you can find almost any information online – from digital libraries full of every kind of literature to entire research archives – and even complete your master’s thesis without ever stepping into a physical library.
Studying has never been easier, and that’s amazing.
But somehow, we still find ourselves spending hours scribbling lecture notes or typing out homework.
Let’s explore how to stay focused on the studies itself while your digital friend does the heavy work for you. 😉
1. Transcribe lectures the smart way
Now, picture this: you’re in a lecture, and your professor says those six magic words – “This will be on the exam.” Suddenly, your hand’s cramping from endless note-taking, your handwriting looks like a secret code, and the moment you lose focus for just a few seconds… you’ve missed the most important part.
Well, guess what? You don’t have to do that anymore!
AI-powered audio-to-text for students makes studying easier than ever – just record your lecture and let the app turn it into clean, searchable notes.
Here’s how to transcribe your lecture with Letterly 👇
- Download the app – get it from the App Store, Google Play, or use the Web version.
- Log in and tap the big central button to start recording.
- When the lecture ends, simply tap the central button again to stop recording.
- Use Rewrite to generate notes or create your own version!
For study prep, try:
- Detailed Summary – if you want clear, structured notes for proper revision.
- Short Summary – if you just need to review key points before the exam.
You can easily share your lecture notes – whether it’s the full transcription or the rewritten version – with classmates (you’ll probably become the most popular student in class 😄).
Just tap the copy button on the left to paste it anywhere – email, group chat, or shared doc – or hit share button on the right to send it directly where you need.
Using a lecture transcription app helps you stay focused in class – no more frantic note-taking or missed details.

2. Capture ideas on the go
I know how hard it can be to come up with a good essay when you’re staring at a blank page, trying to force the words out.
Whenever inspiration strikes, just speak your thoughts out loud, and Letterly will help you turn them into a clear, well-structured essay or project outline.
Writing essay in a old way vs Writing essay with Letterly
| Writing essays the old way 😩 | Writing essays with Letterly 😎 |
|---|---|
| ❌ Fear of the blank page | ✅ No pressure – it’s easy to start |

When your team has just 24 hours left to finish a project, every idea counts, and every voice matters. But it’s hard to keep everyone fully engaged when someone has to pause to take notes or type during the session.
Let Letterly handle that part for you. It automatically records the conversation and creates an outline with different speakers, so you can focus on the discussion and turn your ideas into a solid project later.
3. Stay organized
Studying can be tough. You’ve got lectures, seminars, group projects, homework, and somehow, everything needs to be written down and stored somewhere.
Tomorrow’s your midterm, but you can’t find your notes for that subject. They must be in that notebook… or maybe you typed them on your Mac… in Google Docs? Or was it Word?
It’s time to create a proper space for your study routine. Transcribe lectures, draft essays, and capture project ideas – all in one organized space.
Tap the tag button on the left and create your own tags – they’ll appear at the top.
Studying can actually be fun, if you do it smart. 🎓
