Kapsicum for Students
Your entire semester, searchable
Every lecture transcript, every note, every message to your study group, captured and searchable in one place. When exam week arrives, you search for a concept and see every time you encountered it.
Sound familiar?
You can't listen and write at the same timeThe professor moves to activation energy while you're still writing down enzyme kinetics. You can listen or you can write. Not both. The nuance lives in whichever one you didn't do.
Four courses, twenty different appsGoogle Docs for one class, Notion for another, iMessage threads, screenshots of whiteboards. One course, five apps. Four courses? No search covers that.
Exam prep starts with a scavenger huntYou typed a clear explanation of this concept somewhere: a study doc, a message, a quick note between classes. Finding it takes longer than re-learning from the textbook.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Kapsicum transcribe Zoom lectures automatically?
Kapsicum detects audio from Zoom, Teams, YouTube, or any media player and transcribes in real time. Multiple speakers get distinct labels. You get a searchable transcript before the lecture ends.
Do I need to manually start capturing?
No. Kapsicum runs in the background from the moment it's open. Everything you type (Google Docs, Notion, browser, iMessage) is captured automatically. Audio capture starts when it detects audio playing.
How do I find a topic across all my study material?
Search the term. Results come from every app: docs, browser, messaging, lecture transcripts. Filter by date to narrow to a specific week. Filter by app to see only lectures or only your notes.
Is Kapsicum free for students?
Free for all users during the beta. Join the waitlist for early access.
