For students
An AI note taker for students. Stay present in class.
Avenotes listens to the lecture with you and writes it down. When class ends you have the transcript and a recap: what was covered, what is on you, and the terms to learn.
Free: your transcript and recap after every meeting. See the plans
How it works in a class
-
Ask first, then press Start
Before every class, ask the people in it if they’re OK with you recording. Then press Start and leave your phone or laptop where it can hear. It listens through the microphone.
-
Stay in the lecture
No bot joins anything and there is nothing to type. On weak campus Wi-Fi it keeps listening: it holds up to five minutes of what’s said and fills in the transcript once you’re back online.
-
Read the recap
Your recap, usually seconds after it ends. For a class it is the concepts, definitions and examples, and what to do afterwards.
After every class, on every plan
- The transcript, with each voice labelled. Name a speaker once and the name carries into the transcript and the recap.
- Your recap, written for you. What was covered, topic by topic; your action items, each with its deadline when one was said; decisions and open questions; and the jargon and terms to learn.
- Every class’s tasks in one list. Your action items from every recap land in Tasks, grouped by the meeting they came from.
- A vocabulary that builds. The jargon, acronyms and idioms from your recaps, kept across meetings and searchable.
- The recap in your language. Hold the class in one language and read the recap in yours, in any of 19.
- A recording you already have. Upload a lecture recording, audio or video, up to 3 hours and 2 GB, and get its transcript and recap.
- A recap you can share. Share it by link with a classmate. The transcript is never shared, and you can turn the link off.

Good to know
- Avenotes records the class to write its transcript. Audio deleted once your transcript is ready, so there is nothing to play back: you keep the words.
- In a phone’s browser, keep the screen on. The iPhone app keeps listening when the phone is locked.
- It needs a connection. It rides out a drop of up to five minutes, no more.
- A transcript can mishear a word. Check anything that matters, a formula or a date, against the lecture itself.
- The app is in English. The class and its recap can be in 19 languages.
Questions students ask
What does it cost?
Free is free: your transcript and recap after every meeting. Pro adds the live help above. The plans page has what each includes and what Pro costs.
Do I need permission to record a class?
Ask first, every time, and stop if anyone objects. The app shows you what to say before each meeting, and Recording consent has the rest.
Is it only for lectures?
No. Classes, lectures, seminars and trainings, in a room or online. For an online class, see Transcribe a Zoom class.
Who can see my classes?
Only your account opens your meetings. Nothing is sold, nothing is used to train AI, and a recap reaches someone else only through a link you create.
