Why 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.
