Getting Started with LensNote

Last updated July 7, 2026

LensNote turns any video — lectures, meetings, webinars, screen recordings — into visual notes: the key slides, a full transcript, and a structured summary, all aligned on one timeline.

1. Import a video or audio file

Open your library and click Import. Drop in a video or audio file, or click Choose File. Before the upload starts, LensNote checks the file against your plan (length, remaining minutes, storage) and tells you up front if anything would block processing — no wasted uploads.

Your 14-day trial starts when you process your first video: 180 processing minutes, videos up to 90 minutes each, and 3 exports included. No credit card required.

2. Let LensNote process it

Processing extracts candidate frames, detects slide changes, runs OCR, transcribes the audio, and aligns everything on one timeline. A 40-minute lecture typically finishes in a few minutes. You can close the tab — videos longer than 30 minutes send you an email when they are ready.

3. Review your notes

Open the finished session:

  • Slides — every distinct slide or screen state, captured as an image. Click one to jump the transcript to that moment.
  • Transcript — full speech-to-text with speaker labels, searchable.
  • Summary & report — a structured digest of the whole session with key takeaways.

See Notes, Transcripts & Reports for a full tour.

4. Export or share

Export to PowerPoint, PDF, Word, or a plain-text transcript from the session view, or create a public share link that anyone can open without an account. Trial accounts include 3 exports; Pro and Team export without limits.
