Canonical URL: https://notedly.ai/for/biology

> Paste a biology textbook section or drop in a lecture video and get organized notes on the key terms, processes and concepts. Use Cornell notes for vocabulary and outlines for multi-step processes, then check every detail against your textbook before an exam.

## Sound familiar?

- A 40-page chapter with a new term on every page
- Processes like cellular respiration that are hard to hold in your head step by step
- Lecture slides that skip what the professor actually explained

## How students use Notedly in Biology

1. **Add the chapter or lecture:** Paste a textbook section, drop in a link to an online reading or a YouTube lecture, or upload the chapter PDF on Premium.
2. **Pick a note style:** Cornell for vocabulary and definitions, outline for multi-step processes, standard for a quick review.
3. **Check against the textbook:** Go back to the figures and diagrams in your book, and check every term, number and step against the original before an exam.
4. **Test yourself:** On Premium, turn your notes into a practice quiz. Follow your course's rules on AI use.

## 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](/pricing).

## 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?**

Your first summary needs no account, and a free account includes 10,000 words a month.
