A sociology lecture recording, a 64-slide presentation, and a short course handout.
Add the missing visual context
Connect lecture slides and PDFs to the spoken class.
Combine lecture recordings with PowerPoint slides, PDFs, and course documents to create structured notes and practice grounded in one session.
Direct answer
Acloom lets students attach supported presentations, PDFs, and documents to the same session as a lecture recording. After the resource text is processed, it can contribute context to the notes, flashcards, quizzes, written practice, and Tutor answers generated for that session.
The problem
Why this workflow exists
Slides often contain labels, definitions, diagrams, citations, and structure that an instructor does not read aloud. The recording adds explanation; the resources add written context. Keeping both in one session produces a more useful study source than treating either one alone as the whole lecture.
Best fit
- PowerPoint-led lectures
- PDF handouts and reading packets
- Classes with diagram-heavy slides
- Sessions where the lecturer refers to written material
Workflow
From source to study set
- 01
Add the recording
Upload the lecture audio or video as the spoken source for the session.
- 02
Attach supported resources
Add slides, PDFs, or documents that belong to that lecture and wait for every source to finish.
- 03
Generate from the combined session
The study tools can use the available transcript and resource evidence without moving files between apps.
Concrete example
What this workflow can produce
A realistic illustration of the input and result—not a promise that every source produces identical output.
Notes that connect the lecturer's explanation with extracted headings and definitions, plus practice grounded in the same combined session.

Searchable references
Return to the transcript and processed resource content when checking an output.
Questions answered
What students usually ask
Can Acloom use PowerPoint slides?
Yes. Supported presentation files can be attached to a session and processed as course resources.
Can I use a PDF without a recording?
Acloom Notes is designed around a session that normally includes a recording, while the free PDF Text Extractor can pull text from a PDF directly in the browser without an account.
What happens with scanned PDFs?
Image-only or scanned resources may need OCR, and extraction quality depends on resolution, contrast, layout, and image clarity.
Do resource pages use processing allowance?
Yes. Current pricing explains how resource pages or slides count toward processing usage.
