Vocalo

Here's an expanded version: Vocalo is an AI-powered study tool that turns any lecture recording into a full transcript, Cornell notes, summaries, flashcards, and practice questions — all automatically, in minutes. How it works Upload an audio or video file in any common format (MP3, MP4, WAV, M4A, MOV), or paste a URL from YouTube, Zoom, Panopto, Vimeo, Google Drive, or Microsoft Stream. Vocalo transcribes the recording using state-of-the-art AI and generates a complete set of study materials on demand. Every transcript is fully searchable and timestamped — click any word to jump to that exact moment in the audio. No more scrubbing through hour-long recordings to find one thing your professor said. What you get from every recording Full accurate transcript with clickable timestamps Cornell notes — the proven note-taking format that improves retention and makes self-testing easy Summary of the key points covered Flashcards automatically generated from the content Practice questions to help you prepare for exams Export to TXT, DOCX, SRT, or VTT The transcript is generated automatically when you upload. Cornell notes, summaries, flashcards, and practice questions are generated on demand — you request them when you're ready to study. Who Vocalo is built for Vocalo was specifically designed for four types of students who are underserved by generic note-taking tools: Students with disabilities — For students with dyslexia, ADHD, hearing impairments, or motor difficulties, keeping up with a fast-paced lecture while simultaneously taking notes is genuinely hard. Vocalo removes that pressure entirely. The lecture is captured accurately and the study materials are ready when you are. Part-time and working students — A lot of students aren't full-time. They work jobs, care for family members, or manage health issues. When you miss a lecture, you're usually dependent on incomplete notes from a classmate or a recording you have no easy way to navigate. Vocalo turns any recording into organized, searchable study materials in minutes. International students — Following a fast-speaking lecturer in your second or third language is genuinely difficult. You might understand 80% in the moment, but that missing 20% is often the key concept or technical term you needed. A searchable transcript you can re-read at your own pace, combined with a summary and flashcards, changes the study experience completely. Students who want perfect notes — Some students simply have high standards for their study materials. They don't want to piece together handwritten notes and a half-remembered recording at 11pm before an exam. Vocalo gives you everything organized and ready to study from. Pricing Vocalo uses a subscription model with a genuinely free tier — no credit card required to get started. Free: 5 hours of transcription per month, full access to all study tools Pro: 40 hours per month Premium: 100 hours per month All plans include Cornell notes, summaries, flashcards, and practice questions. Built by a solo founder Vocalo was built by a solo founder from Sri Lanka, starting as a competition project that wasn't ready in time. Six months of building later, it's a product I'm genuinely proud of and one that I think fills a real gap in the market for students who need more than a generic transcription tool.
