Quick answer
To record a class and turn it into notes, start a recording in NoteCube when the lecture begins. It transcribes live; when class ends you get a summary plus the class’s expressions in a phrasebook. For English lessons, mixed-up expressions, new phrases and sentences to review are collected separately.
How it works
Record from the start
Tap Record → “Record now”. Check that recording is allowed in your class first.
Leave it running
Recording continues with the screen off. Pause during breaks and pick up where you left off.
Review notes and phrasebook
When a recording is organized as a class, the summary and expressions are added to your phrasebook. If it was classified differently, switch it to Class and organize again.
Practice with word cards
Flip through the expressions as cards and jump to the exact moment each one was said.
Made for conversation classes
After class, notes are split into mixed-up expressions (what you thought it meant vs. what it means), new expressions, sentence fixes and sentences to review. Teacher corrections and AI suggestions are labeled separately.
A phrasebook that grows with every class
Expressions from many lessons collect in one phrasebook. Mark what you know and what to review.
Already recorded? Import it.
Have lecture files from before? Import them and get the same notes.

What if the lecturer is far away?
It is built to handle distance and noise, but placing your phone closer to the speaker gives better results.
Is it okay to record a lecture?
Check your school’s or instructor’s policy first, and tell people when their voices will be recorded.
