No frantic typing. No awkward call bots. No buried to-dos. Hit record and listen.

We made TelaNotes for rooms where listening matters more than staring at a keyboard: college lecture halls, lab seminars, client tables, and study groups. Traditional note taking forces you to scramble to type while missing the core explanation. TelaNotes captures every spoken word, links each bullet to audio playback, and creates your study pack in thirty seconds.

Your notes and audio recordings stay saved locally on your phone in an encrypted database. No uninvited third-party bots joining your classes, and no commercial cloud scraping your private study notes.

More than a recorder.

Beyond individual recordings, TelaNotes gives you cross-note search, a daily task calendar, a live two-way interpreter, and fast typed notes in the same app.

Can I record in-person college lectures with TelaNotes?

Yes. Sit down in your lecture hall, place your phone on the desk, and tap start. TelaNotes records quietly in the background even when your screen sleeps, capturing full eighty-minute lectures without arbitrary thirty-minute cutoffs.

How does tap-to-audio playback work during study sessions?

Every summary bullet, action item, and transcript sentence is time-stamped. When you review your notes before exams, tap any confusing sentence or definition to immediately hear the professor's spoken words at that exact second.

What else can I turn into a note besides live recordings?

You can import audio files from your phone, paste YouTube links, open PDF and DOCX documents, scan printed handouts or slides with your camera, or write and paste text notes directly.

Can I ask questions across more than one note?

Yes. Open the AI Chat tab inside any note to ask questions about that single session, or open AI Chat from the home screen to search, compare, and create tasks across all your notes at once.

Which languages work for transcription and translation?

TelaNotes transcribes, translates notes in place, and runs two-way speech and text translation across 40+ languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Hindi, with automatic language detection.

How do Pro subscriptions and cancellation work?

Download TelaNotes free to use starter recordings, text notes, and ToDos. Weekly and monthly Pro plans are handled through your Apple App Store or Google Play account, where you can check local pricing or cancel anytime in two taps.
