FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is my data safe?
Your audio file (.m4a) is always saved only on your iPhone — there is no code path that uploads it. During the 3-hour Premium AI intro, the live audio stream goes over an encrypted TLS connection to our speech-to-text engine for real-time transcription and is never stored by Lecsy. After those hours are used up, transcription pauses until you upgrade — recording keeps working and your audio never leaves your iPhone. Transcript text syncs to our cloud only if you sign in. AI features send transcript text only (never audio) to OpenAI.
Do I need internet to record and transcribe?
Recording is always offline. The Premium AI transcription (your first 3 hours) streams audio to our speech-to-text engine in real time, so it needs Wi-Fi or cellular. Recording itself never needs a connection.
What languages are supported?
Lecsy transcribes English lectures. Premium AI (your first 3 hours) delivers high-accuracy English; transcribing beyond that needs Pro, while recording stays free. AI summaries can be generated in your native language: record the lecture in English, read the summary in Japanese, Spanish, French, German, and more.
How accurate is the transcription?
During the 3-hour Premium AI intro, Lecsy uses high-accuracy cloud transcription for English — high accuracy for clear English lecture audio, even for non-native speakers, with stable handling of academic, medical, engineering, and legal terminology. Every transcript you get — on the free 3 hours or on Pro — comes from that same engine, so the accuracy never quietly drops.
Is it legal to record lectures?
In most US and UK universities, recording lectures for personal study is permitted. Many schools actively encourage it as an accessibility tool. Always check your specific university's policy.
What iPhones are supported?
Any iPhone running iOS 17.6 or later. iPhone 12 and newer recommended for best transcription speed.
Is Lecsy free to start?
Yes — Lecsy is free to start. Every new user gets 3 hours of Premium AI English transcription (high accuracy, live captions) — sign in with Apple or Google, no credit card. After those 3 hours, recording stays free and unlimited, and your saved lectures, summaries, and Exam Mode stay yours. Pro is an optional upgrade ($9.99/mo with a 7-day free trial) if you want more Premium AI cloud transcription.
What data goes to OpenAI?
Only your transcript text, and only when you tap the AI Summary or Exam Mode button. The audio file is never sent. OpenAI does not use API content to train its models.
Never miss a word.
Record, transcribe, and ace your exams. 3 hours of Premium AI on us.
