Your notes. Your song. Stuck in your head exactly where you need it. You forgot last week's reading. But you still know every word of a song you haven't heard in ten years. StudyBeats puts your coursework in that format. Upload a PDF, paste your notes, photograph a textbook page, or just type a topic. A few minutes later you have an original track with real vocals, written around the exact facts you need to remember. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your material - PDF, notes, photos or a topic 2. Choose a genre 3. Get a song built around your key facts, dates and definitions TURN ANYTHING INTO A SONG - PDFs: lecture slides, textbook chapters, handouts - Your own notes: paste or type them straight in - Photos: snap your notebook or a page from a book - Any topic: just name it and we write it WRITTEN TO BE REMEMBERED The lyrics are not random. Every song uses techniques that make information stick: - Heavy repetition on the facts that actually matter - Call-and-response hooks - Difficult terms broken down phonetically so you can sing them - Mnemonics and patterns built into the chorus - Short and punchy, designed to be replayed rather than skipped 12 GENRES Pop, Hip Hop, Rock and Acoustic included. Jazz, EDM, Lo-Fi, R&B, Country, Classical, Reggae and Metal with a subscription. STUDIES IN YOUR LANGUAGE Notes in French? Your song is in French. Lyrics are written in the language of the material you upload.
