Lectern Studio Send us a week of notes

Done-for-you lecture videos · for college & university faculty

Your course notes in. A finished lecture out — in your voice.

Send the rough notes you already teach from. We build the slides, write the narration, record it in a studio-grade clone of your own voice, and hand back a polished 25–35 minute lecture video your students can watch before class.

No camera. No microphone. No editing software. You never press record.

The problem

Every existing option asks the professor to become a producer.

Recording a lecture that's actually good takes a script, slides, retakes, and edits — hours of production work per week of class. The tools on the market each dodge a different part of the problem and leave you the rest.

Avatar generators

A stranger teaches your class

Synthesia- and HeyGen-style tools put a synthetic presenter on screen reading a script you still have to write. Students notice. Minutes are capped, expire monthly, and re-renders count against you.

Screen recorders

You're still the whole crew

Loom, Camtasia, and lecture-capture still need you to perform every take — then re-record the flubs, trim the pauses, and fix the audio. The recording is the easy part; production is the job.

Campus studios

Great work, long queue

In-house instructional design teams do beautiful work — at $7,600 to $77,000 per finished hour of eLearning and 40–160 staff hours each, booked out for the semester. Your Week 4 video can't wait for Q3.

How it works

One week of notes becomes one week of class.

Monday

You send notes

A rough outline, a marked-up reading list, last year's slides — whatever you actually teach from. A one-time 10-minute voice sample sets up your narration voice.

Tuesday – Wednesday

We build the lesson

We structure the material into a full slide deck and write narration in a teaching register — hooks, worked examples, checks for understanding — grounded only in your content and sources.

Thursday

Your voice records it

The narration is rendered in your cloned voice and QA'd line by line — acronyms spelled out, terms of art pronounced correctly, frame-accurate sync between voice and slides.

Friday

You get the lecture

A finished MP4 plus the deck, PDF, transcript, MP3, and cue sheet — ready to drop into Canvas, Blackboard, or Moodle. Watch it once, flag anything, corrections come back in days.

Course materials

Everything a flipped or online course needs, from one set of notes.

Each lecture ships as a complete packet — not just a video file — so accessibility, printing, and review materials are handled in the same pass.

  • Narrated lecture video (MP4) — 25–35 minutes, slides synced to the voice frame-by-frame.
  • Slide deck + printable PDF — consistent design across every week of your course.
  • Full transcript — for accessibility review and students who read faster than they watch.
  • Audio-only MP3 — the commute version.
  • Cue sheet (CSV) — per-slide timestamps for captions, chapters, and LMS markers.
  • Built-in reflection pauses — timed prompts that turn passive watching into pre-class work.

The voice

It sounds like you, because it is your voice.

A short recording of you speaking is enough to narrate the whole semester. And unlike raw text-to-speech, every lecture goes through a pronunciation pass by a human who has taught with these tools — so the details that make students wince get caught before students do.

From an actual QA pass

"NASW" read as one wordspelled out N-A-S-W
"HIPAA" as heep-ahcorrected to hip-ah
Accent drift mid-quotecaught & re-rendered
"§1.06(e)" read raw"section one point oh six, part e"
What it costs

Priced like course prep, not like film production.

Custom eLearning production

$7,600–$77,000

per finished hour of content, industry average $42,660 — plus 40–160 staff hours and an 8–16 week timeline.

Lectern Studio

A flat rate per lecture

Send your syllabus and we'll quote the whole semester in one number. First lecture comes with unlimited revisions, so you can judge the finished thing — not a promise.

Questions faculty ask
Is the content AI-generated?

The scholarship is yours: every claim, citation, and example comes from the notes and sources you send. We use AI tooling for the production layer — slide layout, narration drafting, voice rendering — and a human reviews every lecture before it ships. You approve everything, and anything you flag gets corrected.

What do I actually have to do?

Send notes once, record a 10-minute voice sample once, and watch each finished lecture before you post it. That's the whole job. Most faculty spend under 30 minutes per lecture, total.

Can it handle my discipline's terminology?

Yes — statutes, code sections, clinical acronyms, non-English terms. Pronunciation QA is a standing step, and your course keeps a growing pronunciation guide so a fix made in Week 3 holds for Week 13.

What about revisions after I watch it?

Flag a mispronunciation, a wording change, or a slide you want reworked, and a corrected cut comes back within days — not a re-shoot, because there's nothing to re-shoot.

Who owns the video and my voice?

You do. The voice model is used only for your course materials, only with your sign-off, and is deleted on request. Finished lectures are yours to post, keep, and reuse.

Does it work with my LMS?

Deliverables are standard MP4, PDF, MP3, and CSV files — they drop into Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, or anywhere else you can upload a file. The cue sheet makes captioning and chapter markers straightforward.

Office hours are open

Teach the class. We'll roll the tape.

Email us one week of notes — any format, any state of disarray — and we'll turn it into your first finished lecture so you can judge the real thing.
