How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist TikoNote when recording or uploading classroom lectures and converting them into transcribed, organized study notes matters most, and Tiro when cross-border teams needing real-time translation during meetings matters most. Try them side by side on real calls before deciding — needs vary by team.

TikoNote is an AI-powered study application built primarily for students. Its lecture-to-notes feature lets users record lecture audio directly or upload existing recordings, and the AI then listens, transcribes the audio into searchable text, and organizes it into structured notes with highlighted key points and summaries. Beyond audio, the app accepts a range of inputs including PDFs, Word documents (DOC/DOCX), PowerPoint lecture slides, plain text, and YouTube video links. From any of these sources it can generate flashcards, quizzes, summaries, and mind maps, and it offers an AI tutor plus study methods such as the Feynman Technique and blurting to help users test recall and find knowledge gaps. TikoNote is available on iOS (App Store) with a web version referenced on its site. It is aimed at high school and university students, exam and certification candidates, and lifelong learners who want to convert lectures, readings, and recordings into study-ready material rather than meeting minutes for business teams.
