Works in the Classroom and Online

In-person lectures

Open Organism in your browser, press record, and point your laptop mic toward the speaker. The live transcript lets you follow along even if you miss something — glance at the screen to catch up.

Online classes

For Zoom, Google Meet, or any browser-based class, capture the tab audio directly — no extra software needed. Both the professor's voice and any discussion are transcribed.

How It Helps You Study

• Live transcript during class — See the words on screen as the professor speaks. If you zone out for a moment, glance at the transcript to catch up.
• Clean notes after class — AI removes filler words, fixes grammar, and organizes the transcript into paragraphs. What you get reads like notes — not a raw speech dump.
• Searchable text — Need to find where the professor talked about a specific concept? Copy the transcript and search it. Faster than scrubbing through an hour of audio.
• Study on your terms — Copy the transcript into your notes app, email it to yourself, or download the audio to listen again later.

Tips for Recording Lectures

• Sit closer to the front for better audio quality
• Use cloud mode for the best accuracy in large lecture halls
• An external microphone helps in noisy classrooms
• For online classes, use tab audio capture instead of your microphone for clearer sound
• Review and edit the transcript soon after class while the material is still fresh
• Always check your school's recording policy before recording in class
