Use case
Turn a lecture into
something you can study
Class recordings, thesis interviews, defence panels. Transcribed and organised into a reviewer, on a student budget of zero.
Who this is for
- Students
- Teachers
- Thesis advisers
- Researchers
01The problem
Lectures are Taglish and transcription tools are not
A Philippine classroom does not run in one language. The lecture is Taglish, the slides are English, the examples are Filipino, and any tool that forces the recording into a single language throws away half of what was said.
The other problem is cost. Per-minute pricing is designed for companies, not for a student with forty hours of recorded lectures and no budget.
02What you get
Built around how you actually work
Free for the volume students have
Free while in testing, with no daily limit and no sign-up. The transcription runs on your own laptop.
Taglish lectures stay Taglish
Code-switching is written down as spoken, so the Filipino explanation of an English term survives.
A reviewer, not just a wall of text
The Reviewer organises the transcript into topics, key terms, lists and review questions — quoted from the lecture, never invented.
Jump back to any point
Timestamped lines mean you can find the thirty seconds where the professor explained the thing you missed.
Export for your notes
Word, PDF or plain text, plus SRT and VTT if you are subtitling a recording.
Works offline after setup
The model downloads once. After that, transcription needs no connection at all.

04Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free for students?
Yes, free while we're testing it, with no daily limit. Your laptop does the processing, so there is no server cost behind it.
Will it work on a school laptop?
Probably. It starts in Light mode, which is gentle on the machine and downloads a speech model once (roughly 0.6–1.1 GB depending on the computer, then cached). Older or low-RAM laptops will be slow rather than broken.
Does the Reviewer write my notes for me?
No, and deliberately. It organises and quotes the transcript — it never generates new sentences, so nothing in your notes is something the lecturer did not say.
How do you know the recording is not uploaded?
Because there is nowhere for it to go. The speech model runs in your browser and the file is read off your own disk. You can watch it yourself: open your browser's network tab while a transcription runs and you will see no upload.
What does it cost?
Nothing, while we're testing it — no sign-up, no credit card, no daily limit. Your own computer does the processing. All we ask is feedback through the Give feedback button.
05Free while we test it

What we ask
Tell us what to fix
Use the Give feedback button at the bottom right of any page. It takes a minute and goes straight to the people building this.
- It crashed, froze or was slow on your computer
- It misheard words, or got Taglish wrong
- Something was confusing or hard to find
- A feature you wish it had
Feedback sends what you type plus basic browser info. After a transcription you can also rate its accuracy, and optionally share that transcript's text to help us fix mistakes — only if you tick the box. Recordings are never sent.
