You'll never know which concepts went over your head — until you're sitting at the exam staring at a question you should have understood. Resonate fixes that. Open Resonate at the start of any lecture — your professor doesn't need to be on the platform. It records and transcribes in the background while you take normal notes or just listen. Tap the in-session feedback slider when you feel a concept slip past you. When class ends, your AI study companion synthesizes those signals into actionable insights: the specific ideas that didn't land, the moments where comprehension dropped, and the foundational concepts that need a second look — before you leave the room. WHY RESONATE ISN'T JUST ANOTHER LECTURE-TO-NOTES APP Most AI lecture apps make a tidy summary. Useful for review, useless for the part of studying that actually matters: figuring out what you DON'T understand yet. Resonate is built around understanding-verification, not note-generation. The in-session feedback sliders give the AI real signal — not just transcription — so you study the gaps, not everything. HOW IT WORKS • Tap Start Recording at the top of class. Resonate captures audio and transcribes in the background. • During the lecture, use the feedback slider whenever a concept doesn't click. One tap, no friction. • Track your session from the lock screen — Live Activities and the Dynamic Island show elapsed time with an animated waveform, so you never need to unlock to check. • Tap stop when class ends. Resonate synthesizes your in-session feedback into a Study Tab full of actionable insights: which concepts to revisit, which slides to re-read, which questions to bring to office hours. • Review past sessions in your study history. Track how your understanding has built across the semester. WHO IT'S FOR • College students who don't have time to re-watch 50 hours of lecture before the midterm • High schoolers in AP classes prepping for cumulative tests • Online learners taking Coursera, edX, or Khan Academy courses • Anyone who's ever realized halfway through studying that they don't actually understand the foundational concept PRIVACY & YOUR DATA Your lectures stay yours. Audio is processed for transcription and AI-generated insights; it is never sold and never used to train third-party AI models. Remove any session from your history at any time. See our full privacy policy at resonatelearn.app/privacy. PRICING Start with 3 free recording sessions, no credit card. Then a 14-day free trial of unlimited recording and AI insights.
