Search Your Study Notes Instantly for Exam Prep

·5 min read

You've been studying for weeks. Your notes are spread across PDFs, textbooks, lecture slides, and handwritten documents you scanned. Finding that one concept you vaguely remember takes longer than re-reading the chapter. What if you could search everything at once — with your voice?

Your entire study library, searchable

Computer, search my knowledge base for everything about mitochondrial electron transport chain.

Found 12 matches across your indexed documents. The most detailed coverage is in your biochemistry lecture notes (Chapter 14, pages 8-12) and the Lehninger textbook excerpt. The electron transport chain consists of four complexes...

Vox's knowledge base uses SQLite FTS5 full-text search across your indexed documents. It supports 50+ file types — PDFs, Word docs, plain text, markdown, and more — all stored locally on your machine.

Ask questions, get answers

Don't just search — have a conversation with your study material:

Computer, explain the difference between oxidative phosphorylation and substrate-level phosphorylation based on my notes.

Vox

Based on your biochemistry notes and the textbook excerpts you indexed: Oxidative phosphorylation uses the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis to produce ATP, while substrate-level phosphorylation transfers a phosphate group directly from a substrate to ADP. Your lecture notes specifically mention...

Tip

Add your study materials to Vox's knowledge base once. It indexes them with 1,400-character chunks and 200-character overlap for precise retrieval. The indexer handles 4 files in parallel, so even large libraries are searchable within minutes.

Quiz yourself

Computer, quiz me on Chapter 14 from my biochemistry notes. Ask me five practice questions.

Vox

Question 1: Name the four protein complexes of the electron transport chain and the mobile electron carriers that shuttle electrons between them.

You

Complex I is NADH dehydrogenase, Complex II is succinate dehydrogenase... ubiquinone carries electrons between I and III...

Vox

Good — you got Complexes I and II and ubiquinone correct. Complex III is cytochrome bc1, and Complex IV is cytochrome c oxidase. The other mobile carrier is cytochrome c, between III and IV. Want to try the next question?

Works for any field

Law students can index case briefs. Medical students can search across anatomy atlases. Engineers can query technical specifications. Any document-heavy study workflow benefits from instant, voice-activated full-text search across all your materials.
