Choose a supported study file, check its extracted text, and generate notes from the material you need to revise.

Prepare your document

Use clear PDF, PowerPoint, or Word files where possible. Scanned images, handwritten notes, complex diagrams, or unusual formatting may be harder to process accurately.

  • Keep the file within the 15 MB upload limit.
  • Use course handouts, lecture notes, textbook extracts, articles, or revision packs.
  • Avoid uploading private content you do not have permission to process.

Document access

Free includes one successful PDF, PowerPoint, or Word upload per month; Pro has unlimited document uploads up to 15 MB each. Audio uploads do not count towards the monthly document limit. See Pricing for current plan access.

Upload and generate

Open the study tool, upload your document, choose your subject and focus, then generate notes or study materials from the extracted text.

Use an audio file

Choose a saved MP3, M4A, WAV, or WebM file up to 100 MB and 60 minutes in the study-file picker. Aripsy transcribes it in your browser and adds the transcript to the editable study text. Check names and technical terms before generating. Live recording, video uploads, and YouTube link imports are not available.

If the extracted text is incomplete

Compare the editable study text with the file before generating. If a table, equation, or slide is missing, add the relevant text yourself or use a smaller, clearer extract. Uploading a file does not guarantee that every visual detail will appear in the notes.

Key Checklist

  • Choose a supported file within its size and duration limits.
  • Check the extracted text.
  • Generate with the relevant study settings.
  • Verify missing visual or technical details.
