Question 1

What is Lectio?

Accepted Answer

Lectio is an online tool that automatically transcribes your audio lectures using artificial intelligence. It then generates structured notes with a table of contents, key points, glossary, flashcards, and revision quizzes. It's the perfect companion for students who want to save time and study better.

Question 2

How does the transcription work?

Accepted Answer

You upload an audio file (MP3, WAV, M4A, etc.) of your lecture. Lectio's AI transcribes the entire recording into text, then analyzes the content to automatically structure it into chapters, with summaries, key concepts, and a glossary. Everything is ready in just a few minutes.

Question 3

Is Lectio free?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The basic plan is entirely free and allows you to process up to 3 courses per month with structured notes and PDF export. For unlimited use including the AI assistant, flashcards, quizzes, and Notion export, the Student+ plan starts at €9/month.

Question 4

Which audio formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

Lectio accepts most common audio formats: MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC, and WebM. The maximum recommended duration is 3 hours per recording. The clearer the audio, the better the transcription will be.

Question 5

How do I export my notes to Notion?

Accepted Answer

In your account settings, connect your Notion workspace via the 'Link my Notion account' button. Then, on any completed course, click 'Export' and then 'Notion'. Choose the target page, and your structured notes will be sent directly to Notion, fully formatted.

Question 6

Are flashcards generated automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Lectio automatically generates flashcards based on your lecture content. Each flashcard contains a question about a key concept and its corresponding answer. You can use them to study with spaced repetition directly inside the application.

Question 7

Can I share my quizzes with other students?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Each quiz has a unique sharing link. Your classmates can access it without having a Lectio account. Their results will appear on the quiz leaderboard so you can compare performances.

Question 8

Is my data secure?

Yes. Your audio files are processed ephemerally and are not retained after transcription. All connections are encrypted (HTTPS). Your notes are stored securely, and you can delete your account and all your data at any time from the settings.

Question 9

How do I verify my email address after signing up?

Accepted Answer

After signing up, you will receive a confirmation email. Click the 'Confirm my email' button inside. If you can't find it, check your spam folder. You can also request a new email from the login page.
