Study what your professor actually said
Record lectures, sermons, and sessions. Transcribe on-device. Chat with exact words. Verba gives you perfect recall of every recording, searchable forever, without your audio ever leaving your device.
Works offline. No account. No subscription. Your recordings stay on your devices.
Generic AI doesn't know what your professor said
ChatGPT answers from the internet. Your exam is based on your lectures. That's the gap Verba closes.
| Generic AI | Verba | |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Internet consensus, Wikipedia, textbooks | Your professor's exact words |
| Answers | What the AI thinks is correct | What was actually said in your lecture |
| Verification | No way to check the source | Tap to hear the original audio |
| Exam prep | Study what the internet thinks is important | Study what your professor emphasized |
| Privacy | Your data on corporate servers | Everything stays on your device |

“What did Professor Chen say about the French Revolution?”
Generic AI
“The French Revolution (1789-1799) was a period of radical political and societal change in France that began with the Estates General...”
Verba
“Professor Chen said: 'The thing I want you to remember isn't the dates—it's that the bourgeoisie had money but no political power. That tension is what I want you to think about for the essay.'”

- Runs entirely on your device—no internet required
- Search across all your recordings at once
Everything you need to study smarter

On-device processing
Transcription, AI chat, and search all run locally.
