Transcribe lectures into clear notes

Quiet Scribe records a lecture on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, transcribes it on device and organizes the content into a summary and notes by topic. Later you can ask questions about the class and jump to the exact moment in the recording.

Who it's for

Students, teachers and anyone in courses or workshops who wants to review a class without relying on handwritten notes. Check your institution's rules on recording first.
