Everything you need to get the most from LectiGuide — from your first study guide to board preparation.
LectiGuide turns your professor's lecture into a complete study guide — answered from the lecture audio, your uploaded slides, and your listed textbook. Every answer is specific to what your professor taught, not generic internet content.
Go to lectiguide.com and sign up with your email. Your account is free to start.
Paste your professor's learning objectives — from the syllabus, course portal, or lecture slides. These are the questions LectiGuide will answer.
Upload the lecture audio recording, course slides (PDF or PowerPoint), and any handouts. LectiGuide reads everything together.
Enter your textbook title and author. LectiGuide will cross-reference every answer with your textbook for a complete three-source study guide.
Tap Generate. LectiGuide processes your materials and returns a complete study guide in 3–6 minutes depending on the number of objectives.
Paste your objectives exactly as your professor wrote them. LectiGuide handles all formats — numbered lists, bulleted lists, sub-objectives, and paragraph form. The more specific your objectives, the more specific your answers.
Adding your course name and a brief description helps LectiGuide contextualize answers to your specific program and curriculum. For example: "Respiratory Therapy 201 — Cardiopulmonary Pharmacology."
Enter your textbook title and author. You can also add specific chapters if you know which ones cover the material. If you are not sure of the chapter, leave it blank — LectiGuide will answer from the full textbook.
Use the built-in recorder to record lectures directly in the app. Tap the microphone button to start, tap again to stop. LectiGuide automatically saves a backup copy you can download.
You can upload recordings you already have — from Voice Memos on iPhone, a digital recorder, or any other source.
iPhone Voice Memos (.m4a files) are fully supported. Open the Files app on your iPhone, find the recording, and upload it directly.
If your lecture was recorded in multiple parts, upload all of them at once. LectiGuide transcribes them in order and combines the content. Each recording is labeled automatically — Recording 1, Recording 2, etc.
Select multiple files at once — all are read together as one combined source. Great for lectures with multiple handouts or a slide deck plus supplemental notes.
Every study guide comes with a full suite of study tools built from your specific session content:
Three-round adaptive practice in board exam format — multiple choice, SATA, and clinical scenarios.
Analyzes your professor's question style and generates a mock exam that matches how they actually test.
Auto-generated flashcards from every key term and concept in your study guide.
Converts your study guide into a podcast episode you can listen to during commutes or clinical rotations.
Extracts every formula, equation, and calculation from your lecture and saves them for quick reference.
Generates a concise clinical summary of the entire lecture for quick review before exams.
TriPrep is LectiGuide's three-round adaptive practice system, designed to match the format of your licensing exam.
LectiGuide can fetch and use clinical practice guidelines, NIH publications, and any web-based required reading as a fourth source in your study guide — alongside your lecture, notes, and textbook.
Navigate to the AARC CPG, NIH NHLBI guideline, or clinical resource your professor assigned. Copy the exact URL from your browser address bar.
On the upload screen, find the Clinical Practice Guidelines card below the textbook section. Paste your URL and tap Add URL. LectiGuide fetches the document automatically.
Your study guide now includes a fourth orange source block labeled with the document title — distinct from your lecture, notes, and textbook answers.
Clinical Thread connects concepts across all your saved sessions — showing you how a topic was taught from semester one through clinical rotations. It is the closest thing to seeing your entire education organized by concept rather than by course.
Type any clinical concept — oxygen therapy, bronchodilators, ABG interpretation — and LectiGuide instantly searches every objective, key point, and answer across all your sessions. Results appear grouped by semester level in chronological order.
Tap Deep Search to find semantically related objectives even when the exact word does not appear. Your LectiGuide uses AI to find conceptual connections — searching "PEEP" might surface objectives about lung compliance and ventilator weaning that are clinically connected.
After running a search tap Clinical Map to generate an interactive concept map built from your sessions. Nodes represent clinical concepts colored by type — foundation, mechanism, clinical application, treatment, assessment. Tap any node to see the key points your professor taught about that concept.
Rotation Brief scans everything your professors taught across all your sessions and generates a clinical reference document tailored to your specific rotation. Walk into the ICU with a brief built from your own professors' teaching — not generic internet content.
Ventilator modes, ARDS, hemodynamics, vasopressors, ABGs, weaning protocols
Airway management, acute respiratory failure, emergency medications, intubation
Oxygen devices, bronchodilators, patient education, COPD and asthma management
Neonatal ventilation, surfactant, CPAP, RDS, BPD, neonatal pharmacology
Spirometry, lung volumes, DLCO, flow-volume loops, restrictive vs obstructive
Cardiac output, hemodynamic monitoring, cardiovascular pharmacology
Pediatric anatomy, dosing, croup, RSV, bronchiolitis, pediatric ventilation
Home oxygen, home ventilators, patient education, COPD self-management
Polysomnography, CPAP titration, AHI, sleep staging, PAP therapy
6-minute walk test, Borg scale, breathing retraining, energy conservation
The brief is organized into six sections: Key Clinical Concepts, Critical Values, Key Medications, Equipment and Procedures, Assessment Priorities, and Need to Know. Download as a PDF to carry into your rotation.
The Abbreviation Bank is a searchable reference of 120+ clinical abbreviations organized by category — General, Respiratory, Nursing, Hemodynamics, Labs, Pharmacology, and Clinical. Your abbreviations are automatically injected into every study guide generation so LectiGuide understands your professor's shorthand.
You can add your own custom abbreviations with a category tag. Custom abbreviations are saved to your account and persist across all sessions.
LectiGuide automatically caches your 15 most recent study guides to your device. If you lose internet connectivity your sessions remain fully readable — objectives, answers, key points, and need-to-knows are all available offline.
Tap the PDF button on your results screen to download a formatted study guide you can print or save. The PDF includes all three source answers (lecture, slides, textbook), need-to-knows, and key points for every objective.
Every study guide you generate is saved as a session in your dashboard. Sessions persist indefinitely — your semester one pharmacology session is still accessible when you are preparing for boards two years later.
LectiGuide Tutor is an AI chat assistant that answers questions using your session materials as context. Ask follow-up questions about anything in your study guide, explore related topics, or request alternative explanations.
The Tutor uses three tiers of sources in order:
LectiGuide works like a native app on iPhone and Android — no App Store download required.
iPhone: Open lectiguide.com in Safari → tap the Share button (box with arrow) → tap Add to Home Screen → tap Add.

The built-in recorder works on both iPhone and Android. For long lectures stop and restart every 30–35 minutes and upload the segments together.
Tap the upload zone → your iPhone Files app opens → navigate to iCloud Drive, On My iPhone, or any connected storage → select your files.
