# SlideNote

> SlideNote is an AI-powered note-taking and live voice transcription web application that pairs spoken words and rich text notes directly to individual presentation slides.

SlideNote is designed for university students, conference attendees, executive teams, and webinar participants who need to capture lectures and presentations without scrubbing through hours of unorganized audio recordings. Instead of generating a single continuous wall of text, SlideNote anchors audio, live transcripts, and editable notes page-by-page to each slide in a presentation deck.

## Core Capabilities

- **Slide-by-Slide AI Transcription**: Real-time speech-to-text synchronized with each slide. As the presenter moves to a new slide, incoming speech transcription automatically pairs with that specific slide number.
- **Editable Transcripts & Rich Text Notes**: Edit generated transcripts, highlight key sentences, and maintain side-by-side notes with full formatting.
- **PDF Slide Deck Import**: Upload presentation decks (PDF format up to 50 MB, easily exported from PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides, or Canva).
- **Private Cloud Sync**: Decks, transcripts, and notes sync securely across devices with user privacy guarantees.
- **Full-Screen Presentation Mode**: View slides in high resolution while reviewing live captions and transcripts.

## Key Differentiators

- **Traditional Recorders (Otter.ai, Voice Memos, Notability)**: Generate a single long chronological transcript that is disconnected from the visual presentation. Users have to scrub back and forth to find what was said during a specific slide.
- **SlideNote Solution**: Visual slides, speech transcripts, and personal notes are permanently paired in a unified split-pane workspace. Reviewing Slide 14 instantly surfaces the exact audio transcription and notes taken during Slide 14.

## Supported Formats & Limits

- **Slide Formats**: PDF (up to 50 MB). PowerPoint (.pptx), Keynote, and Google Slides can be exported to PDF and imported directly.
- **Transcription Allowance**: Up to 5 hours per month during Early Access (up to 3 hours per continuous session).
- **Audio Language**: English live speech-to-text.
