Paste a lecture, meeting or interview transcript and get structured notes in the order it was spoken, with bold key terms and figures kept as written.
This preview shows the first 180 words and does not keep your file.

Turn anything into anything: drop any file, pick what you want out of it.Try it →A raw transcript runs on: filler words, repeated points and speakers jumping between topics, so the main ideas are hard to find when you come back to it. This page turns it into notes with short headings in the order the material was covered, two to four bullets under each, and key terms in bold. Names, figures and what each speaker said are kept.
What you get
Headings in the order of the material
Each heading follows the sequence of the talk or meeting, so you can match the notes to the recording or to your own memory of the session.
Short bullets with key terms in bold
Two to four bullets sit under each heading, and terms such as topsoil or cover crop are bolded so they stand out when you scan the page.
Names and figures kept as written
Speaker names, numbers, dates and units are copied exactly from the transcript, and each point is attributed to the person who made it.

Who uses it
Students reviewing a recorded lecture

Researchers who ran interviews
See what each interviewee said under each topic heading, with their names and any figures kept exactly as they were spoken.
Someone who missed a long meeting
Get the points from each part of the discussion in order, with the speakers named, instead of reading the full transcript.
Questions
Does the result keep the speakers' names and the figures?
Yes. Speaker names, numbers, dates and units are kept as written in the transcript, and each point is tied to the person who made it. Anything the transcript does not say is not added.
Will the notes follow the order the material was covered in?
Yes. Headings appear in the order the lecture, meeting or interview moved through its topics, so the notes match the recording from start to finish rather than being regrouped by theme.
How are filler words and repeated phrases handled?
They are left out. The notes are written from the points that were made, so phrases like um, so and right do not appear, and a point repeated several times is recorded once.
Can I rely on the notes without checking the transcript?
Notes can contain mistakes, especially where the transcript itself is unclear or misheard. For exams, quotes or any decision that depends on a figure, check the notes against the original recording or transcript.
Is my file stored after the preview?
The preview reads only the first part of your text, up to about 6,000 characters, or up to 5 pages of a PDF (2 MB). The file is not kept. A free account handles whole, longer files.
