Catch every word, keep every feather.

Polmi turns recorded lecture audio into clean notes, summaries, and flashcards you can share with classmates.

Paper-craft scene of a student in a tiered lecture hall holding up a microphone while an instructor teaches at the lectern, with paper feathers and note cards lifting from the mic.

What Polmi does

  • Paper-craft microphone with soft sound waves drifting up.

    Catch the whole lecture

    Record in the hall or upload a file you already have. Up to six hours in one go, depending on your plan.

  • Paper-craft open notebook with a marigold feather resting on the page.

    Notes you'll actually reread

    Polmi writes the transcript, then lifts a clean summary from it. The long lecture becomes a page you can skim.

  • Paper-craft stack of flashcards, the top one showing a friendly check.

    Flashcards from every lecture

    Key points become a small deck you can flip through. Review before the exam without rebuilding your notes by hand.

  • Three paper-craft figures linked by a soft dotted line.

Questions, answered

What does Polmi actually do?

Polmi turns a recorded lecture into a transcript, a tidy summary, and flashcards. You record in class or upload a file you already have, and Polmi does the writing so you can review and share instead of retype.

Can I record right in the lecture hall?

Yes, Polmi records right in the lecture hall: tap record when class starts. You can also drop in an audio file you already have.

How long can a lecture be?

Polmi handles lectures up to 3 hours on Notebook, 4 on Binder, and 6 on Lectern. It stops a recording before it would pass your plan's limit, so nothing gets wasted.

Is there a free way to try it?

Yes, Polmi has a free trial of three short clips, so you can hear what it does with your audio before you pay.

Can I study with classmates?

Yes, and groups are free. Creating or joining a group, sharing your own lectures, and reading what classmates share are all free, including on the free trial. Paid plans are for recording your own lectures. Roundtable bundles five Notebook plans for a study group at $49.99 a month, 33% off five separate plans.

Is there a web version?

Yes, and the web version is free for everyone. Anyone can sign in at web.polmi.app to review notes and flashcards in a browser as well as the app, on any plan including the free trial. Paid plans are for recording and transcribing your own lectures.

How much does Polmi cost?

Polmi paid plans are Notebook at $14.99 a month, Binder at $29.99, and Lectern at $59.99 for a heavier term, after a free trial of three short clips. Roundtable bundles five Notebook plans for a study group at $49.99 a month. Prices are in USD and individual plans cancel any time.

What languages does Polmi work in?

Polmi detects your lecture's language automatically and transcribes a wide range of languages. You can have your summary written in another language, and the Lectern plan can translate a transcript into a language you choose.

Is my lecture data private?

Yes, your Polmi recordings, transcripts, and notes are yours. Transcripts and notes are encrypted, by default we delete your audio about a week after it is transcribed, and we do not use your content to train AI models. You can delete a lecture, or your whole account, at any time.

How is Polmi different from Otter?

Otter is a transcription tool built mainly around online meetings. Polmi is built for lectures: you record in the hall or upload a file, and every transcript comes with a summary, key terms, and flashcards, with reading and sharing free.
