Lectures move fast.
Your notes shouldn't fall behind.
Built for
EchoNotes listens in real time and turns spoken lectures into clean, structured notes — with screen-reader support, live captions, and zero-drag controls, so nobody falls behind.
No credit card. Free forever for verified students.
Lecture notes were never designed for you
Most note-taking tools assume you can see the slide, hear the professor, and type fast enough to keep up. For millions of students, none of that is guaranteed.
You can't see what's projected
Slides flash by, whiteboards get erased, and screen readers can't parse a photo of a blackboard.
You can't hear every word
Fast talkers, accents, and back-row seating turn a 60-minute lecture into 40 minutes of guesswork.
You can't type fast enough
Motor impairments and RSI make manual note-taking painful — or impossible — during a live class.
One tool. Every kind of learner.
Four impairment categories, four dedicated experiences — not one generic transcript view stretched to fit everyone.
Navigate by ear, not by eye
Every screen is built around correct landmark regions and reading order, so a screen reader announces exactly what's on screen — no guesswork, no dead ends.
Captions that sync, not lag
Live captions render with speaker labels and visual emphasis cues, so tone and inflection aren't lost when text replaces sound.
Zero drag, zero tiny targets
Record, edit, and export run entirely on voice commands or keyboard shortcuts. Nothing in the interface requires a precise click or a drag gesture.
Notes that are study-ready on exit
EchoNotes doesn't just transcribe — it structures. Headings, bullet points, and key-term glossaries build themselves as the lecture unfolds.
From spoken word to study notes in four steps
No manual formatting. No cleanup pass. No missed sentences.
Speak
Start recording with a single voice command or keyboard shortcut — no menu hunting required.
Transcribe
Live speech-to-text appears instantly, with each speaker automatically identified and labeled.
Organize
An on-device model restructures the raw transcript into headings, key terms, and clean bullet points.
Export
Download as accessible PDF, Word, or HTML — screen-reader-ready, in one tap.

Accessibility, broken down honestly
We build against the same four principles that define WCAG itself — not a marketing checklist.
Perceivable
Every color pairing on this site is verified at 6:1 to 17:1 contrast — well past the WCAG AA minimum of 4.5:1 — and text scales to 200% without breaking layout.
Operable
Every action has a keyboard path and a visible, high-contrast focus ring. Nothing in EchoNotes requires precise pointer control or a timed response.
Understandable
Plain-language labels, consistent navigation, and predictable behavior — screen-reader users always know what a control will do before activating it.
Keyboard shortcuts, no mouse required
