AI HIGHLIGHTS WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS IN YOUR LECTURES

Beyond Yellow Highlighters

Traditional highlighting is subjective and often excessive. VoiceScholar's AI highlighting:

• Identifies truly important concepts
• Ranks information by exam relevance
• Connects highlights across lectures
• Adapts to your learning needs

The AI Selection Process

1. Importance Scoring

The AI analyzes multiple factors:

• Professor emphasis (repetition, tone, time spent)
• Conceptual centrality
• Exam history patterns
• Prerequisite for other topics

2. Contextual Understanding

Goes beyond keywords:

• Understands conceptual importance
• Recognizes examples vs principles
• Identifies testable material
• Detects subtle emphasis cues

3. Personalized Filtering

Adapts to your needs:

• Highlights gaps in your knowledge
• Emphasizes your struggle areas
• Adjusts to your learning goals
• Considers your time constraints

Real Example: Organic Chemistry

Original Lecture: 75 minutes, 8,500 words Student Highlighting: 60% of content (too much!) AI Highlighting: 15% of content (just right!)

AI-Selected Highlights:

1
🔴 Critical (5%):
2
- SN2 mechanism: backside attack, inversion
3
- Rate = k[substrate][nucleophile]
4
- Polar aprotic solvents increase rate
5

6
🟡 Important (7%):
7
- Steric hindrance effects
8
- Common nucleophiles: OH-, CN-, I-
9
- Leaving group ability: I- > Br- > Cl-
10

11
🟢 Supporting (3%):
12
- Example: (S)-2-bromobutane → (R)-2-butanol
13
- Lab tip: Use acetone as solvent
