Apple Silicon · macOS 26 or later
Trial: up to 5 minutes per recording · US$49 once for longer recordings
Before an in-person lecture
Check recording permission. Choose a microphone placement that can hear the lecturer clearly without distracting anyone, and test a short clip before class starts.
During an online lecture
With permission, record your Mac’s system audio alongside your microphone. macOS Screen Recording permission is needed for system audio, even if you are not saving video. Keep the display awake.
When it is time to revise
Find the recording by its title or metadata, open its transcript, and replay a speaker turn. Check names, dates, formulae, and technical terminology against the original audio and your course materials.
A PRACTICAL START
Before your next session
- Try a five-minute sample before committing to your setup.
- Use a licence for sessions longer than five minutes.
- Keep and back up the original files; do not redistribute recordings without permission.
Good questions
Does recording need Wi-Fi?
Recording and transcription run on your Mac. The release installer includes the models. Update and licence checks use the network but do not contain your recordings.
Can it transcribe slides, equations, or handwriting?
The transcript comes from speech, not visual content. Optional screen recording preserves video; it does not turn slides, equations, or handwriting into notes.
What Mac do I need?
An Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 26 or later. A physical notch is optional. Allow roughly 1.6 GB for the download and additional room for recordings.
Try your own setup.
Start with a short recording. For longer sessions, a US$49 one-time licence includes one year of updates and use on up to five personal Macs. Covered versions stay unlimited. Licence terms.
