The Problem:

Students often struggle to balance listening attentively in class with taking accurate notes. Many lectures move at a pace where students miss key points, and recordings alone are time-consuming to revisit. This leads to incomplete learning, poor revision, and stress before exams.

The Gaps in the Current Solutions:

• Note-taking apps exist but only transcribe audio without summarizing.

• Recorded lectures lack structure and require hours of replay.

• Manual notes differ in quality and may not cover the full lecture.

• Current solutions don’t provide interactive revision material like quizzes or flashcards.

Proposed Solution:

ClassScribe is a real-time system that listens to classroom lectures and automatically generates:

• Concise lecture notes.

• Quizzes for self-assessment.

• Flashcards for quick revision.

The system personalizes material for each student, reducing manual effort and helping them focus more on understanding rather than hurriedly writing.

Why This Problem Matters to Me:

As a student, I know the stress of incomplete notes and the difficulty of revising before exams. A tool that not only takes notes but also creates revision material would save time, improve understanding, and support students who miss classes or face learning difficulties.

Technical Details:

• Speech Recognition: Whisper AI / Google Speech-to-Text for lecture transcription.

• Natural Language Processing (NLP): Transformer-based models (T5, BART, GPT APIs) for summarization, keyword extraction, quiz and flashcard generation.

• Backend Development: Python (Flask/FastAPI) for processing pipelines.

• Frontend Development: React or Flutter for delivering the notes and quizzes to students.

• Database: Firebase/MongoDB for secure storage and personalization.

This integration makes the project rich in AI, machine learning, and full-stack development.

Conclusion:

ClassScribe bridges the gap between classroom learning and effective revision. By automatically converting lectures into structured notes and interactive study material, it empowers students to learn smarter, not harder. With future scope in universities, MOOCs, and corporate training, this project has the potential to transform education and make it more accessible, engaging, and efficient.
