Lecture notes

An AI note taker built for studying, not meetings

Record a lecture live or upload your slides, PDFs, and audio. Skolight turns them into structured study notes and summaries - then lets you quiz yourself, make flashcards, or ask questions about them in the same place.

Free plan, no credit card required.

How it works

  1. 1

    Capture the lecture

    Record the class live with real-time transcription, upload an audio file, or add the slides and PDFs your lecturer shared.

  2. 2

    Generate notes

    Choose concise or detailed notes, a short, medium, or long summary, or a step-by-step tutorial on the topic.

  3. 3

    Edit and study

    Notes open in a full editor so you can add your own thoughts, then turn the same material into a quiz or flashcards.

What you get

Live lecture recording

Record in the browser and watch the transcript appear as the lecturer speaks, in sessions of up to 90 minutes. Live transcription currently supports English-language lectures.

Notes from any document

PDFs, Word files, and slide decks, including scanned PDFs, which are read with text recognition.

YouTube and web pages

Paste a link to a captioned YouTube lecture or an article and get notes without watching or reading it twice.

Notes, summaries, or tutorials

Concise or detailed notes, summaries at three lengths, or a tutorial that walks through the topic step by step.

A real editor, not a text dump

Headings, lists, and formatting you can edit freely, kept alongside the source in the subject's Space.

Straight to practice

Turn the same material into a quiz, a mock exam, flashcards, or a mind map - the step most note takers stop before.

Taking notes is only half the job

Most AI note takers were built for meetings: they transcribe, summarize, and stop. Studying needs more. Notes are where learning starts, but memory is built when you come back to the material and test yourself on it.

That is why Skolight keeps your notes, your sources, and your practice tools in one Space per subject. Lecture recording and summaries save you the hours of writing things up, and the time you get back goes into quizzes, flashcards, and spaced review - the techniques that move information into long-term memory.

A simple routine works well: record or upload the lecture the same day, skim the generated notes and fix anything that matters to you, then generate a short quiz to check what stuck.
