Recall

Paste a lecture transcript — get the signal without the noise

Paste a lecture transcript from Zoom, Teams, Otter.ai, or your own notes and get the 20% that matters. Four modes: Distill, Study Guide, Test Prep and Connect.

Overview

Recall solves the core lecture problem: 90 minutes of content where maybe 15 minutes is testable. Professors repeat the important stuff, signal it with emphasis phrases, and bury it in tangents and anecdotes. Recall detects those signals and extracts the material you'd highlight if you had perfect attention for the whole session. Four modes cover different study needs — from quick-reference bullets to full practice exams.

How to use it

  1. Pick a mode: Distill (bullet points), Study Guide (structured review), Test Prep (practice questions), or Connect (cross-lecture themes)
  2. Paste your transcript — from Zoom captions, Otter.ai, Google Meet, or your own typed notes
  3. Optionally add subject and lecture topic for better context
  4. Set mode-specific options: bullet count, priority type, exam format, question types, difficulty
  5. Review results — each mode produces different output optimized for its study use case

Example

Scenario: You have a 45-minute Biology lecture transcript on mitosis and meiosis from Zoom auto-captions. Midterm is next week.

What you do: Paste transcript, enter 'Biology 101' as subject and 'Mitosis & Meiosis' as topic. Start with Distill (10 bullets, balanced priority) for a quick overview, then switch to Test Prep (10 questions, multiple choice + short answer, mixed difficulty) to practice.

Result: Distill produces 10 ranked points — #1 is the key difference between mitosis and meiosis (tagged as 'comparison, testable'), with professor signals flagging that the professor said 'make sure you know this' about chromosome pairing. Test Prep generates 10 questions including a tricky MC question where two answers sound similar but differ on haploid vs diploid, with a full explanation of why the wrong answers are wrong.
