The challenge
What educational institutions face.
Learning materials arrive in every format imaginable
PDF handouts, recorded lectures, whiteboard photos, printed articles, handwritten class notes, students juggle a dozen different formats with no unified system.
Disorganised materials scattered across devices
Notes on one phone, PDFs on a laptop, photos on another device. Finding the right material at the right time wastes precious study hours.
Physical materials can't become digital study tools
Students with textbooks, printed handouts, or handwritten class notes have no easy way to turn that content into flashcards, quizzes, or mind maps.
Time wasted reformatting and retyping content
Students spend hours converting their materials instead of studying them. Format management consumes the time that should go to learning.
Meet Marcus, age 17
Four different types of material. Four different devices. Zero organised study plan.
He uploads his 38-page textbook chapter
Marcus uploads the PDF. In under 3 minutes, Notesmakr produces a structured, simplified note covering the entire chapter, causes of WWI, key figures, timeline, consequences. 38 pages become one focused study resource.
He uploads the 54-minute lecture recording
The MP3 is uploaded to Notesmakr. AI transcribes the full lecture and restructures it into a note organised by topic, the same quality as the PDF note, but from a completely different source format.
He photographs his handwritten class notes
Three photos of his handwritten notes from class. Notesmakr's OCR reads every line, AI structures the content, and produces a typed, searchable note, even from messy handwriting.
He pastes the web article, it's organised instantly
Copy, paste, create. The article becomes a fifth structured note in seconds. Marcus now has a comprehensive, organised study hub for the entire topic, built from four completely different source types.

What changes
Schools don't need to create new content, Notesmakr works with everything they already have.

“I had my textbook, my teacher's lecture, my own notes, and a Wikipedia article. They were all over the place. After Notesmakr I had everything in one place, organised, simplified, and ready to study. I went into the exam knowing I hadn't missed anything.”
Questions
What file formats does Notesmakr accept?
Notesmakr accepts five input formats: PDF documents including textbooks and slides, audio recordings in MP3, M4A, and WAV formats, photographed or scanned handwritten notes and whiteboard images, typed or pasted text from any source, and photos of maths or science problems via Snap and Solve.
How does Notesmakr handle handwritten notes?
Notesmakr uses OCR (optical character recognition) technology to read handwritten notes from photographs. The AI then structures the extracted text into a typed, searchable, simplified note. It works with most handwriting styles, even messy or rushed class notes taken during lectures.
Can I convert lecture recordings into study notes?
Yes. Upload any audio file or record a live lecture directly in the app. Notesmakr transcribes the entire recording using AI speech recognition and then restructures the transcript into organised, topic-based notes. A 54-minute lecture becomes a structured study resource in minutes.
How long does it take to process different formats?
Processing times vary by format: typed text processes in 10 to 30 seconds, scanned photos in 30 to 90 seconds, PDFs in 30 seconds to 5 minutes depending on length, and audio recordings in 1 to 4 minutes. The average across all formats is about 45 seconds per note.
Can I combine notes from different sources into one study session?
Yes. All notes created from any format live together in your Notesmakr collection. You can generate flashcards from any of them, take quizzes that combine content across sources, and build mind maps that show how information from different materials connects to form a complete picture.
