Lecture to notes

Record the lecture. Keep what was in it.

Hit record in class or upload the audio afterwards. Snaplearn turns an hour of talking into concise notes with stories and visuals, then asks you active recall questions on them.

Built for full-length classes — long recordings are the normal case, not the exception.
The recording problem

Nobody listens to a two-hour recording twice

So the recording is not the point.

Recording a lecture feels safe. In practice it produces two hours of audio you will never scrub through, and a false sense that you have the material.

Snaplearn turns the recording into separate concepts you can read in minutes and be questioned on — so the hour you sat through becomes something you can actually revise.

  • An hour of audio becomes concepts you can skim
  • Search the lecture instead of scrubbing through it
  • Questions built from what was actually said
  • Works whether you recorded it or a classmate did
Personalized notes

The note changes as you learn the lecture

Long where you are weak, short where you are not.

Test yourself and Snaplearn scores each concept separately from how you answered — weak, good, or solid.

A concept you keep missing gets a deeper version, pulled from further into the same recording. A concept you have proven collapses to a few lines.

  • Weak concepts get a deeper explanation in your notes
  • Solid concepts collapse to a few lines in your notes
  • Scored concept by concept, not one grade for everything
  • A map of the whole upload, color-coded by how well you know it
Active recall

The question meets you where you are

Same fact, asked three ways.

You get the hardest version first — recall it cold, in your own words. Miss it and the next question on that fact gets easier: fill in the blank, then multiple choice.

Miss it at every level and it comes back asked a different way. Answer it properly and it stops being asked.

  • Short answer, fill in the blank, and multiple choice on every fact
  • Recalling it cold counts for more than picking the right option
  • Cleared facts drop out of your question queue
  • Miss the same fact repeatedly and it gets reworded, not repeated
How students use it

From the lecture hall to the exam

Record and review tonight

Sit through the class, read the concepts the same evening.

A lecture you missed

Upload a classmate's recording and catch up properly.

Back-to-back classes

Record three in a row and read them when you have time.

Before the exam

Test across a whole term of recordings at once.

Students who stopped re-listening to lectures

Students use Snaplearn to keep up with heavy lecture loads and exam schedules.

“Between rotations and late-night revision, Snaplearn turns long lecture recordings into concise notes I can review before shelf exams. I love the way platform is completely personalized to me.”
Ananya S.M3, Harvard Medical School
“Snaplearn converts dense biochemistry and anatomy lectures into clear notes having stories, visuals which no other platform does. I can focus on learning instead of organizing.”
Emily C.M1, Yale School of Medicine
“Snaplearn pulls the core points out of dense readings. I love the way it tells my strong and weak areas which reduces my study time and helps me focus on what I need to learn.”
Sarah M.M4, Stanford University School of Medicine

Questions about recordings

Yes. Record in the app, or upload audio you captured some other way.

Full-length lectures are the normal case. Hour and two-hour classes are handled end to end.

Yes. It is built for terminology-dense subjects — drug names, anatomical terms, and technical vocabulary stay exact rather than being simplified away.

Yes. Questions are generated from what was said in the lecture, in three formats.

Yes. Record one class and see what comes back.

Walk out of the lecture with more than audio.

Record your next class and see it as concepts you can be tested on — free to start.
