Getting Started with LensNote

LensNote turns a recording into notes you can review in minutes instead of replaying it.

• Video (a lecture, meeting, webinar, or screen recording) becomes the key slides, a timestamped transcript, a summary with takeaways and action items, and a structured report that walks through the slides.
• Audio (an interview, voice memo, or class recording) becomes a transcript with speaker labels, a summary, and a one-page summary image.

1. Create your account

Sign up on the web with your name, email, and a password, then confirm your email address from the message we send. After that you can also sign in with an emailed code, an emailed link, or a passkey. See Account, Sign-in & Security.

2. Import a recording

Open Import in the sidebar, choose Video or Audio, and drop in a file. Before anything uploads, LensNote checks the file against your plan and tells you if it would not fit. See Importing Video and Audio.

On a Mac you can also record a window, your screen, or your microphone directly with the macOS app.

Your 14-day free trial starts the first time you process a recording.

3. Let it process

Stay on the page until the upload finishes. After that, processing runs in the cloud and you can close the tab. Recordings of 30 minutes or longer send you an email when the notes are ready. See How Processing Works.

4. Review your notes

Open the session from your library. Video sessions have Slides, Transcript, Summary, and Report tabs; audio sessions have Summary and Transcript. See Reviewing Your Notes.

5. Export or share

Use Export to download a PDF, Word document, PPTX deck, or transcript, or Share to create a read-only link. See Exporting Notes and Share Links.
