Honestly

What Transcript is good at

Transcript turns spoken lectures into text you can search and read back.

Use Transcript for

Having a written record of a lecture you attended.

Where students need more

  • A transcript is raw material — it is not yet notes, and it is long.
  • Reading a transcript back is not practice, and practice is what sticks.
  • Your PDFs and readings sit outside it.
Which to use

Switching from Transcript

Where StudiSpace is the better fit for the same coursework, and where Transcript still is.

Switch if

  • You have transcripts you have never reread because they are too long.
  • You want the lecture and that week's reading revised together.
  • You would rather be tested on the lecture than skim it again.

Stay with Transcript if

  • You specifically need a verbatim written record of what was said.
  • You are quoting the lecture and need the exact words.

What the switch looks like

  1. 1Bring in the recording or the link.
  2. 2Take the notes it writes rather than the raw transcript.
  3. 3Add that week's reading to the same set so they are revised together.
  4. 4Use the podcast version to go over the lecture again without rereading it.

Your questions, answered

Does StudiSpace transcribe lectures the way Transcript does?

You can bring in a recording or a link and it will work from the spoken content — but the output is notes, flashcards and a quiz, not a wall of transcript.


Can I combine a lecture with the reading for that week?

Yes. Both go into the same workspace, so revision covers the module rather than one source at a time.


Do I get the full transcript as well?

The output is notes, flashcards and a quiz rather than a wall of transcript — the transcript is the input, not the thing you revise from.


What if the recording is an hour long?

Long recordings work, though very long ones take longer to process and may be trimmed. Splitting a lecture in two is the reliable way.


Do I need to create an account to start?

No. You can upload your material and generate study content immediately without registering. You'll only need an account if you want to save your progress.


What types of files can I upload?

We accept PDFs, Word documents, images (PNG, JPG), text files, and you can also paste content directly or share links to videos and articles.


How does the AI Tutor work?

The AI Tutor analyzes your study material and can answer specific questions about that content. They're not generic answers, but based on what you've uploaded.


Are the generated materials editable?

Yes, completely. Everything the AI generates is just a starting point. You can edit, add or reorganize any content as you prefer.


How long does it take to generate the content?

Normally between 10-30 seconds depending on the size of the material and the number of formats you select.
