Record a lecture, get notes — how it works
AI lecture notes are class notes generated automatically from a recording. You record the lecture, and hearlog transcribes it with Google Gemini AI, then writes a structured summary and key points — so you can listen and understand in class instead of racing to copy the board.
Handwritten notes force a trade-off: pay attention, or write things down. In a fast statistics class or a dense UPSC lecture, that trade-off costs you the explanation of why a result matters. Recording removes it. hearlog captures every word, then hands you a transcript you can search, a detailed summary for deep study and a key-points list for the night before an exam.
Because everything is saved to your account, a semester of lectures becomes one searchable library. Looking for the professor's exact definition of "opportunity cost" or the derivation of a formula? Search once and jump straight to it. Nothing to install, and recording keeps working even if the campus Wi-Fi drops.
hearlog is built by USD Vision AI and powered by Google Gemini AI. See the full workflow for students on our students use-case page.
