AI note taker for students that turns lectures, audio, slides, PDFs, and videos into notes and study packs.
Exemplary AI is a transcription and content-repurposing platform for long-form audio and video. Users upload a recording or import one, and Exemplary AI produces a transcript, then offers tools to convert that recording into subtitles, short clips, summaries, show notes, chapters, and blog posts. The transcription handles audio and video across a large number of languages and can generate subtitles and translations, making it usable for accessibility and multilingual distribution. Beyond raw transcription, the platform includes an AI writer and chat that work against the transcript so users can ask questions or generate written content from the conversation, plus lightweight video editing such as trimming, removing filler words, adding B-roll, and styling captions. Exemplary AI markets dedicated workflows for podcasts, webinars, and academic recordings, and the transcription and captioning features apply equally to recorded interviews and meetings. It is aimed at content creators, marketers, educators, and businesses that want to extract transcripts, captions, and repurposed assets from their recorded spoken content. Pricing varies by plan.

Polar Notes (PolarNotes AI) is an AI note-taking tool built for students and teachers that converts lectures and course materials into organized study resources. Users can record or upload a lecture, paste a YouTube link, or import slides and PDFs, and the app automatically transcribes audio when needed and analyzes the content to produce summarized notes, key concepts, section headings, and short overviews. From the same source material it can generate a study pack that includes study guides, flashcards, and assessment questions, and results can be exported to Google Docs or PDF with study sets organized in one place. Polar Notes emphasizes privacy and offline access on iOS, keeping notes stored locally on the device unless the user chooses to back them up or share them, which lets students review notes without an internet connection. It also supports multilingual transcription, making it usable for international students and teachers recording in different languages. The tool is delivered as an iOS app with an accompanying web experience and free online tools, and is aimed at learners who want lecture and document content distilled into exam-ready study material rather than verbatim meeting records. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.
