# TurboLearn AI > TurboLearn AI is an AI note-taking and study tools platform that turns lectures, PDFs, YouTube videos, and documents into editable notes, flashcards, quizzes, and podcasts. Built for students, professionals, and researchers who study from mixed source formats. TurboLearn AI handles every major study input format in one tool — live audio, uploaded audio files, PDFs (textbooks, papers, slides), YouTube videos (by URL), web pages, and documents (DOCX, PPT, TXT). The same source can generate notes, flashcards, quizzes, and podcasts without switching apps. Every generated note is fully editable: rewrite any paragraph, highlight, comment, or ask the inline AI to refine specific sections. Math formulas and diagrams are preserved for STEM subjects. ## Core features - [AI Note Taker](/features/ai-note-taker): Turn audio, PDFs, videos, and documents into clean editable notes - [PDF to Notes](/features/pdf-to-notes): Upload any PDF and get structured, editable notes in seconds - [PDF to Flashcards](/features/pdf-to-flashcards): Generate spaced-repetition flashcard decks from any PDF - [YouTube to Notes](/features/youtube-to-notes): Paste a YouTube link and get notes, flashcards, and quizzes - [Lecture Recorder](/features/lecture-recorder): Record lectures live with automatic transcription and structuring - [Quiz Generator](/features/quiz-generator): Generate mixed-format practice quizzes from notes, PDFs, and lectures ## What problems it solves - Students juggling multiple tools (one for transcription, one for flashcards, one for quizzes) — TurboLearn AI consolidates them - Manual note taking forces a choice between paying attention and writing — TurboLearn AI captures source material completely so you can focus on understanding - Generic flashcard decks are shallow and disconnected from your actual course material — TurboLearn AI generates from your specific PDF or lecture - STEM content with formulas and diagrams gets mangled by basic transcription tools — TurboLearn AI preserves math and diagrams ## Who it's for - College and university students studying from lectures, textbooks, and YouTube - Graduate students and researchers processing papers and lecture series - Professionals taking certification courses or learning from video content - Self-learners studying from mixed media (PDFs, YouTube, podcasts) ## Key pages - [Home](/): Overview of TurboLearn AI - [Features index](/features): All features in one place - [Blog](/blog): Guides on AI note taking and study tools - [Pricing](/pricing.md): Machine-readable pricing tiers - [About](/about): Company information - [Contact](/contact): Contact information ## Popular blog posts - [Best AI Note Taker in 2026: A Practical Comparison](/blog/best-ai-note-taker-2026): How to evaluate AI note takers and how TurboLearn AI compares - [How to Turn a PDF Into Flashcards](/blog/turn-pdf-into-flashcards): The fastest way to generate flashcards from a PDF - [AI Study Tools That Actually Work](/blog/ai-study-tools-that-actually-work): A field guide to AI study tools in 2026 ## Frequently asked questions - How do I record lectures and turn them into notes? — Open TurboLearn AI, hit record before your lecture, and let it capture audio live.
