The Problem

For the majority of students, the actual problem isn't listening to lectures—it's revising well. We spend hours on end re-writing notes, scouring through PDFs, or scrolling through recordings and ending up unprepared for exams. Current edtech apps address test preparation or pre-curated content, yet they never address the day-to-day issue of making our own study notes more convenient to study from.

The Idea

FlashNote is a machine learning application that converts lecture content into flashcards and brief summaries in mere seconds. Students can submit handwritten notes, PDFs, or recordings and FlashNote will produce study material automatically. It aims to reduce time wastage and enable students to concentrate on real understanding instead of constant note-taking.

Market Gap

Existing solutions are too generic (general AI chatbots) or too costly (premium edtech platforms). None are tailored to students who require quick, trustworthy aids for revision. FlashNote bridges this gap with easy-to-use, student-centric features such as:

Instant note summarization

Auto-generated flashcards for remembering

Quiz-style testing for solidifying memory

Multi-language support for inclusive classrooms

Smart reminders for spaced revision

Who are the beneficiaries?

College students studying for exams

Learners who take notes but seldom review them

• Students struggling with time management and organization

•Anyone wanting to revise smarter, not longer

Why This Matters to Me

I’ve faced the same struggles—late nights rewriting notes, wasting time, and still feeling stressed before exams. Learning about AI showed me there’s a better way. With FlashNote, even small gains in efficiency can free up hours and reduce anxiety. This isn’t about replacing effort, but about making every hour of study count more.
