Lecture recordings are useful, but they are hard to revise from when you have limited time. A transcript lets you search for a definition, revisit an explanation, and build notes around the parts you need to learn.
Record with revision in mind
Name files clearly with the course, topic, and date. Sit close enough to the lecturer for intelligible audio, and avoid relying on a recording if your institution or lecturer does not permit it.
Turn the recording into a first draft of notes
Upload the audio to a transcription tool and use headings to separate the lecture's main sections. Do not treat the transcript as finished notes: spoken explanations often repeat ideas or take detours that are useful in a room but less useful on the page.
Build a study-friendly structure
For each topic, write the central concept, important definitions or formulas, an example from the lecture, and a question you should be able to answer before the exam. This turns a long recording into material you can actively recall rather than passively reread.
Review against the source
Check unfamiliar terms and numbers against the slides, textbook, or official course materials. If the lecturer corrects themselves later in the recording, keep the corrected version in your notes.
