Readings, videos and live lectures in one place
Biology classes mix a dense textbook, recorded or posted lectures, and the lecture itself. Notedly handles all three:
- Textbook sections as pasted text on every plan, or as PDFs on Premium.
- YouTube lectures on every plan. Long videos with captions work, and short videos without captions are transcribed by AI.
- Live lectures on Premium Plus.
Use AI responsibly
Use your notes to understand and organize the material. Don't hand in AI-generated text as your own work, and follow your course's AI policy.
Frequently asked questions
Can Notedly summarize a whole biology textbook chapter?
Yes. Paste the chapter text, or upload the PDF on Premium. A full chapter can run past the free plan's 10,000 words a month, so chapter-by-chapter studying fits best on Premium (500,000 words a month for $9.99 a month or $49.99 a year).
Does it explain diagrams and figures?
Notedly works from the text of your reading. Study figures, diagrams and pathway charts in the textbook itself, and use the notes to review the text around them.
Can it take notes during a live biology lecture?
Yes. Live lecture notes are part of Premium Plus ($24.99 a month or $129.99 a year): start recording in your browser and the notes build as the lecture goes. On any plan you can also paste a recorded lecture's YouTube link.
Is it free?
