## What is AskSia?

AskSia is your AI tutor and AI study assistant. Upload lecture recordings, PDFs, slides, photos and class notes, and Sia turns them into notes, flashcards, practice tests and a study plan from your own courses. Trusted by 2M+ students at 2,000+ universities.

RECORD, TRANSCRIBE AND TRANSLATE YOUR LECTURE LIVE
Fast professor? Heavy accent? Tap record and read every word as it is spoken, whether the lecture is in English, Korean, Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin or Spanish, translated into your language in real time. Recording continues when your phone is locked, a floating window keeps the transcript in view, and you can ask Sia questions mid-lecture. When the lecture ends you get a summary and an outline. Built for lectures and coursework, not meetings. 30+ languages supported.

ASK SIA ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR FILES OR AUDIO
Upload up to 20 files at once: PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint decks, Excel sheets, textbook chapters, audio files, YouTube links or photos. Ask a question and get an answer with citations that point to the exact page. Long readings become summaries with key points in your professor’s terms.

LECTURE IN, NOTES OUT
Any recording or file can become structured notes, a study guide, flashcards or a quiz, with spaced repetition built in so the cards you miss come back until you know them. Use the flashcard maker and quiz maker on one slide deck or a whole semester.

PRACTICE BEFORE IT COUNTS
Build timed practice tests and mock exams from your own course material, not from random question banks, with every miss explained. Use them for midterms, finals, college entrance and grad school exams. Preparing for a standardized test? Upload your prep materials and Sia turns them into practice sets and flashcards too.

SIA SHOWS THE STEPS, NOT JUST THE ANSWER
Snap a photo of a problem in math, physics, chemistry, biology, statistics, coding or engineering, or type it or say it out loud. Your AI tutor works through it step by step and explains the reasoning, not just the result. Ask why, ask again, or ask in your own language.

KNOW WHAT TO REVIEW BEFORE THE EXAM
Sia tracks what you get wrong across notes, flashcards and practice tests and tells you what to review next, so before an exam you know exactly what needs work.

BRING YOUR WHOLE SEMESTER IN ONE CLICK
Install the AskSia Chrome extension, import your courses from Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle or Brightspace, and your readings, slides and deadlines sync to the app. Sia builds a study plan from your syllabus that you follow on your phone.

ANY FORMAT, EVERY DEVICE
Photo, text and voice input. iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, web and Chrome extension, with your library, notes and chat history synced everywhere.
FREE TO START
• 300 minutes of transcription a month
• 100 PDF pages a month

PREMIUM PLANS
PLUS, SUPER and A+ remove the limits. A+ includes the GPA Guarantee: use AskSia A+ for a full term and improve by at least one letter grade, or get 100% of your money back. Terms apply. A 3-day free trial is available on selected plans. Cancel anytime in the app.

BUILT FOR
• College and graduate students
• High school students preparing for finals and entrance exams
• International students studying in a second language
• Anyone who learns faster with an AI tutor that explains
AskSia is an AI study assistant that helps you understand your coursework rather than doing it for you: every answer comes with reasoning and citations.

*2026-09-30*

教室杂音多，老师声音稍微小一点的时候，识别的就特别不精准，经常出现不识别，断网，专业名词识别错误的情况。只在特定情况下好用，教室无杂音，老师说话清新明确，专业名词不多的情况下

### 1/5 — 垃圾更新

你更新了个啥啊？文件里的实时转录没了，改的一点也不方便，该回来吧，你要更新就更新转录的准确性

**Developer response:** 感谢你的反馈！实时转录功能其实还在，目前可以在左侧边栏找到。我们也理解这次更新后入口没有之前那么明显，确实可能让人一时找不到。

我们会在下一次更新中把实时转录的入口做得更加明显，也会继续提升转录的准确性和使用体验。谢谢你的反馈！
