Ezra is your learning assistant. Bring in what you want to learn, from sermons and Bible studies to lectures, talks and YouTube videos, and Ezra helps you understand it, find it again and remember it. Most note apps stop at a transcript and a summary. Ezra keeps working: it answers your questions from your own sources and builds the quizzes, flashcards, study guides and devotionals that help you keep what you learn. LEARN: UNDERSTAND IT FASTER Every source gets a summary and key ideas, and every recording gets a full transcript. Ask for a study guide whenever you want to go deeper. REVISIT: FIND IT AGAIN IN SECONDS Ask a question and Ezra answers from your own material, with citations you can open to check the original context. No need to replay an hour of audio. Gather related sources in a Space, like every lecture and reading for a course, and ask across all of them. REMEMBER: MAKE IT STICK Test yourself with practice quizzes and flashcards built from what you saved, and pick up your progress where you left off. SERMON NOTES FOR CHURCH, BIBLE STUDY & SUNDAY SCHOOL Record the sermon and take it into your week. Ezra finds the Scripture references in the message, and the built-in Bible opens them even offline. Turn a sermon into a devotional for the week or a discussion guide for your small group, Bible study or Sunday school class. LECTURE NOTES FOR UNIVERSITY, COLLEGE & SCHOOL Record your lectures, add your course PDFs and slides, and keep each course in its own Space. Ask “Explain this concept to a first-year student,” then walk into the exam ready with a practice quiz or flashcards. BRING IN WHAT YOU WANT TO LEARN • Record live in the app, at church, in class or at a conference • Import audio and video files • Add YouTube videos • Import PDFs, Word documents and PowerPoint slides • Add photos or take a picture of your notes • Paste text Please follow your church, school or event's rules on recording. PRIVATE AND YOURS Ezra is your own private library, not a classroom, church or team platform. Edit supported documents, export supported creations as PDF or share their text. RECORD WITHOUT A CONNECTION Recording works offline, and material already on your device stays available. Transcription, new answers and new creations need an internet connection and cloud processing, and catch up when you reconnect. START WITH EZRA FREE Ezra offers a Free plan and an optional Ezra Plus subscription.
