Our Story
StudyCap was born out of a simple observation: students spend countless hours watching or revisiting online lecture content yet still struggle to absorb, organize, and retain the most critical information. At the University of Bath, where Panopto has become the go-to lecture recording system, we saw firsthand how overwhelming it can be for students to keep up—especially when juggling multiple courses and deadlines.
Armed with the conviction that there had to be a better way, we set out to build a tool that cuts through the noise and offers students concise summaries and easy-to-review notes. With minimal coding experience but plenty of determination, our small team decided to transform these ideas into a tangible product: the StudyCap Chrome extension.
Our Mission
We exist to empower students by streamlining their lecture review process. We want to help you focus on understanding the key points of every session so that your study time is more productive—and, ultimately, more rewarding.
Simplify your lecture content
Increase study efficiency
Improve knowledge retention
What We Do
StudyCap is an AI-driven platform that:
Extracts captions from lecture recording softwares.
Generates smart summaries for faster review.
Structures transcripts into clear, digestible study notes.
Offers the potential for future features like flashcards, real-time Q&A, and advanced search.
Whether you’re revisiting material before exams or catching up on missed sessions, our tool ensures you’re not drowning in details but rather focusing on what matters most.
Why We’re Different
1. Tailored for Students: We’re building StudyCap specifically for the university environment, meaning every feature aims to solve real challenges faced by students today.
2. AI with a Purpose: Instead of adding another layer of tech complexity, our AI actively works to make your academic life simpler—bridging the gap between raw lecture data and effective study resources.
3. Listen, Learn, Improve: As a young startup, we’re obsessed with gathering feedback from our early users. This helps us refine our features continuously so we can stay relevant and valuable.
Our Future Vision
Right now, we’re perfecting our solution at the University of Bath. Next, we envision spreading to universities across the UK and beyond, helping more students reclaim their time and enhance their learning. With your support and feedback, we’ll integrate new study tools, support more platforms, and keep making StudyCap the best AI study companion around.
