Turn lecture notes into a study guide

Summarise a lecture, a chapter, or a term of notes into the points that matter — then test yourself on them.

Notes taken live during a lecture are rarely usable as revision material. They are fragmentary, out of order, and full of things that made sense at the time. Rewriting them properly is the step everyone knows they should do and almost nobody does.

ExamSaver does the rewrite. Upload your notes, the slide deck, or even a recording of the lecture, and it produces a summary organised around the key points — short enough to read before a seminar, complete enough to revise from.

The summary is a starting point rather than the end. From the same upload you can generate flashcards for the terms, multiple-choice practice, and fill-in-the-blank drills, so you move from reading the guide to being tested on it.

Why it works

What you get

Readable output from messy input

Fragmentary live notes, photographed whiteboards, and slide decks all become structured key points.

Recordings become text

Record a lecture, upload the audio, and it is transcribed and summarised — useful when a lecturer moves faster than you can write.

Summary plus testing, from one file

The same document produces flashcards and quizzes, so reading is immediately followed by recall.

Fast re-entry into old topics

Weeks later, the summary gets you back into a topic in minutes instead of an hour.

Ask the document questions

Chat is grounded in your upload, so you can clarify a point without leaving your own material.

Step by step

How to use it

  1. 1

    Upload notes, slides, or a recording

    PDFs, photos, pasted text, and audio all work.

  2. 2

    Generate a summary

    The content is condensed into organised key points.

  3. 3

    Generate flashcards and a quiz

    Move from reading the guide to testing yourself on it.

  4. 4

    Revisit on a schedule

    Spaced repetition keeps the material available weeks later.

Questions answered

Frequently asked

Can it summarise an audio recording of a lecture?

Yes. Audio is transcribed first, then summarised. Check your institution's rules on recording lectures before you do.

How long is the summary?

It is proportional to the source — a single lecture condenses to a short set of key points, while a full chapter produces a longer guide.

Can I summarise several lectures at once?

Summarising one document at a time gives sharper results. Upload each lecture separately and keep the guides in one topic library.

Does it keep technical terminology?

Yes — summaries preserve the terms your assessment will use rather than paraphrasing them away.

Start with one document

Upload a chapter, a set of notes, or a past paper and see what comes back. It's free to start.
