Get the transcript of any audio or video in just a few simple steps!

Taking note of every single concept explained by a professor during a lesson is practically impossible. That’s why many students, often worried about missing important details, choose to record their lectures so they can listen back and transcribe them. However, manually transcribing hours and hours of audio is not only a boring and tiring process, but it also steals precious time from actual studying. In short: it’s a time-waster you can easily avoid.

At Algor Education, we decided to solve this problem: our learning platform now includes automatic transcription from audio/video to text! This brand-new tool, powered by Artificial Intelligence, allows you to convert an audio or video files into written text, saving you both time and energy. This way, you’ll no longer have to worry about taking notes and you’ll be able to follow your lessons more attentively.
