Recipe: Lecture notes summarizer

Turn raw lecture transcripts into structured, review-ready notes in under a minute. Paste your transcript, pick a format, and let Meridian handle the rest.

Ingredients

  • Raw lecture transcript (text or audio transcription)
  • Course name and lecture topic
  • Preferred output style (outline, Q&A, or Cornell)

Steps

  1. 1Open a new chat and paste your full lecture transcript. Include the course name and date for context.
  2. 2Tell Meridian your preferred format: bullet outline, Q&A pairs, or Cornell-style notes with cues and summary.
  3. 3Review the generated notes. Ask follow-ups to drill deeper on any concept that feels fuzzy.
  4. 4Export or copy the final notes into your study app of choice.

Pro tips

  • • Clean up filler words before pasting for sharper output.
  • • Ask for a 1-paragraph summary at the top of every set.
  • • Use “explain like I’m five” for tough concepts.
