Lecture to Obsidian Cards
Turn lecture recordings into structured notes and spaced-repetition flashcards
- Problem
- Students and self-learners record lectures, then spend hours turning them into Obsidian notes and hand-splitting review cards; one author already built such a tool for themselves, showing real demand but little willingness to build it from scratch.
- Solution
- Upload lecture audio or video, get automatic transcription with topic segmentation, and receive Obsidian-formatted Markdown notes plus Q&A flashcards with tags and source timestamps, ready to drop into the vault.
- Users
- Undergrads, grad students and lifelong learners, especially Obsidian users
- MVP
- Audio upload and transcription; topic-segmented Markdown notes; automatic Q&A flashcard extraction; Obsidian-compatible export
- Revenue
- Free monthly minutes; subscription for batch processing and custom templates; optional one-time local license
- Why now
- Transcription costs have collapsed while Obsidian users are sticky and pay for workflow tools—a solo dev can ship in weeks
