## What is CourseNote?

CourseNote is a study workspace for iPhone and iPad. Turn lecture videos, audio recordings, and PDFs into structured study notes with timestamps. Tap a timestamp to jump back to that moment in the source video or recording.

WHY COURSENOTE
• Turn a long lecture into structured, searchable notes
• Import a video or audio file, or record a lecture with your device microphone
• Every section has a timestamp — tap it to jump back to the source material
• Board writing, formulas, and tables are captured into the notes, not just a raw transcript
• Generate self-test questions from your notes and grade them one by one
• Ask questions about your notes, find related notes from a photo, and get AI explanations
• Annotate directly on your notes with Apple Pencil

HOW IT WORKS
1. Add material: import videos, audio, or PDFs from Files, Photos, or other apps; you can also record audio in CourseNote
2. Process: speech is transcribed, board writing is recognized, and notes are organized by chapter
3. Study: read the notes alongside the source, tap timestamps to review, annotate, ask questions, and test yourself
