# Turn a rough idea into a starting point.

For Students & researchers.

Talk through an outline, capture your own voice memo, or turn a permitted recording into a transcript you can work from.

Apps: Pages · Word · Apple Notes · browser text fields.

## Explain the argument before polishing it.

Dictate an outline into your document while the thought is clear. Keep going across natural pauses, then return to the text to add evidence, references, and structure.

## Work from recordings you already have.

Import an audio or video file from the Notetaker. Wisp reads its audio locally and prepares a transcript. Notes generation depends on Apple Intelligence being available.

## Keep research in your own workspace.

Save a reviewed draft to Apple Notes or copy text into your research tools. Your Notes account may sync through iCloud; choose the destination that fits your work.

## Can I use Wisp for lecture recordings?

You can import supported audio and video recordings you have permission to use. Wisp transcribes on your Mac. Check specialist terms and quotations yourself; it does not verify facts or create citations.
