Turn a recorded lecture into usable study notes
During a long lecture, a permitted recording can help you revisit details you missed. Check the course recording rules first, test that speech is audible and keep your own questions alongside the transcript. Review specialised terms before using the result as study material.
Turn Talk into TasksStop losing brilliant ideas.
A useful record keeps the details you want to return to: names, decisions, questions and next steps. Chela can process a voice note into organised information that you can review and search. State what matters in the recording, then check the resulting note before using it elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work well in large echoey lecture halls?
Yes. CHELA utilizes advanced acoustic noise-cancellation models designed to isolate the professor's voice over the background noise of typing students and large-room reverberation.
Can I search the transcripts later?
Absolutely. A full semester of audio logs becomes after processing searchable. You can search your entire vault for a specific term like "mitochondria" and jump to the exact lecture where it was discussed.
How do I review the notes for exams?
Chela supports exporting an individual note as PDF. Review the note first, and check the export options available in your installed version. This does not promise Markdown downloads, bulk exports or automatic synchronisation with Notion or Obsidian.
Can I upload a recording from a different app?
Yes. If you prefer to capture the lecture using a dedicated hardware recorder or a different mobile app, you can easily upload the MP3 or WAV file into the CHELA dashboard for processing.

A transcript is not a verified study guide. It may miss a diagram, a quiet question or a technical term. Recording does not replace participation or the institution’s rules.
