Search what was said
Lecture transcription that leads somewhere useful.
Convert lecture audio or video into a timestamped, searchable transcript, then keep slides, notes, practice sets, and Tutor questions in one session.
Direct answer
Acloom converts supported lecture audio and video into a timestamped transcript for student review. The transcript stays connected to the original recording and can serve as the source for summaries, detailed notes, flashcards, quizzes, written practice, and AI Tutor questions.
The problem
Why this workflow exists
A transcript alone is a useful reference, but it can still leave a student with thousands of words to organize. Acloom treats transcription as the first layer of a study session rather than the final deliverable.
Best fit
- Students who need to search long recordings
- Fast-paced lectures that are difficult to capture by hand
- Classes where timestamps help confirm wording
- Recorded seminars and lecture videos
Workflow
From source to study set
- 01
Upload a supported recording
Add the lecture audio or video to a course session. Processing usage follows the recording length.
- 02
Review the transcript
Use the timestamped transcript as the reference layer and return to the audio when a phrase needs confirmation.
- 03
Turn reference into practice
Generate the study formats you need without copying the transcript into separate tools.

Questions answered
What students usually ask
Can Acloom transcribe video lectures?
Yes. Supported video files can be processed for their audio content and converted into a transcript within the study session.
Does a transcript include timestamps?
Acloom prepares timestamped transcript segments so students can connect written passages with the relevant part of the recording.
How accurate is lecture transcription?
Accuracy depends on recording quality, speaker clarity, background noise, terminology, and overlapping speech. Important wording should be checked against the recording and course resources.
Can I use the transcript to make flashcards?
Yes. Once the session sources are ready, the same material can support flashcards, multiple-choice questions, written practice, notes, and Tutor questions.
