iPhone
Record the lecture, read it back as text afterwards, and search every lecture you have ever recorded. Everything is transcribed on your iPhone.
Cathedra records your lectures and turns them into text on your iPhone, so you can stop writing
things down and actually listen.
RECORD WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT IT
Add your timetable once and Cathedra reminds you a few minutes before each class, with recording
one tap away from the Lock Screen. Lock your phone and leave it on the desk — recording carries
on. Pause it when the lecturer takes a break and resume when they come back.
READ IT BACK AFTERWARDS
Every recording becomes a timestamped transcript. Tap any line to hear exactly what was said at
that moment, so you never have to trust the text over the audio. Play back at up to double speed.
The original audio is always kept, because a transcript is a convenience and the recording is the
record.
FIND ANYTHING, ACROSS EVERY LECTURE
Search the full text of every lecture you have ever recorded. Type a term and see every moment
across the whole semester where it came up — including all the times a lecturer said "this is in
the exam".
BUILT FOR ANY UNIVERSITY
Semesters, trimesters, quarters, blocks, Dutch periodes, or one continuous year: pick the shape
your university actually uses. Set the dates yourself, because no two institutions agree on them.
Import your timetable from any calendar already on your iPhone, or type it in.
EXAMS AND DEADLINES ON THE SAME CALENDAR
See your classes and your exams in one month view. Mark a class as cancelled and its reminder
goes with it. Schedule a make-up session for a new time.
MORE THAN 40 LANGUAGES
Set the language your lecturer actually speaks, per course. Cathedra uses your iPhone's own
speech recognition, which covers more than forty languages. The interface itself is translated
into 22.
IT STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE
No account. No sign-in. No cloud. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party code of any kind.
Your recordings, transcripts and timetable are stored on your device and nowhere else. The only
thing that touches the network is iOS downloading a speech model the first time you transcribe a
new language, and that download carries no audio and nothing about your lectures.
WORTH KNOWING BEFORE YOU RECORD
Recording a lecture captures someone else's voice. Whether you may do that is decided by the law
where you are and by your university's rules. Many institutions allow it for personal study and
prohibit sharing; some ask you to get permission first. Please check, and do not publish a
recording of someone who did not agree to it.
Cathedra is free, with no in-app purchases and no subscription.
