SpiikWhy Spiik comes out ahead
Online classes go straight in
On a Mac, Spiik records your microphone and system audio together. That's how you capture a Zoom seminar or a recorded lecture playing in your browser, without a phone held up to the speakers.
Replay exactly what was said
Spiik follows the transcript word by word during playback. Tap a confusing sentence in your notes to hear it again, and ask the AI chat what the professor meant.
Useful once the semester ends
Speaker labels, meeting notes, translation and subtitle export mean Spiik keeps earning its place in internships and jobs, where a study-only app has less to offer.
Best notetaker ever. Can record all the things instead of you writing them down and not listening.Christ Forever, App Store review
When Turbo AI could make sense
Turbo AI can make sense if you want an app dedicated only to studying. Its App Store listing shows many price points, including some yearly plans below Spiik's, so check the price it offers you before you decide.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a Turbo AI alternative with a Mac app?
Yes. Spiik runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and on a Mac it can record your microphone and system audio together.
Can Spiik make flashcards from a lecture?
Yes. Open a transcribed recording, tap AI Tools and choose flashcards, a quiz or a mind map.
