Transcribe a Lecture or Conference to Text: the Complete Guide

Taking notes in a lecture hall forces a choice: listen or write. With AI transcription you no longer have to choose. Record the class, conference or webinar and get a complete text, ready to review, summarize and turn into revision sheets.

Why transcribe your classes?

A transcript captures 100% of the content, including the examples and asides handwritten notes miss. The text is keyword-searchable at revision time, easy to share with a classmate who was absent, and a solid base for summaries and practice questions. It's also invaluable for dyslexic or hard-of-hearing students, or anyone studying in a foreign language.

Transcribe a class in 3 steps

  1. During the class, open Voqia.fr on your laptop or phone and start Live mode: the transcript appears in real time. Remember to ask permission to record.
  2. Already have a recording (voice recorder, phone, webinar replay)? Upload the audio or video file in File mode — MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4 up to 500 MB.
  3. Get the full text, run the AI summary to extract the essentials, then export everything to Word.

From raw transcript to revision sheets

Transcription is only step one. Use the automatic summary to extract the lesson's outline, the Q&A feature to test yourself, and translation if the class is in a foreign language. A two-hour lecture becomes a usable revision sheet in ten minutes.

Three tips for a good recording

Always ask the teacher's or speaker's permission before recording. Place the microphone close to the source (or capture system audio for an online class). And prefer a quiet room: less background noise means a more accurate transcript.
