Built for Long Audio Lectures
Scholarly is text-focused with limited audio support. TikoNote handles hours of audio lecture recordings with high-accuracy transcription, then generates structured notes, flashcards, and quizzes from them.
Visual Mind Maps Included
TikoNote auto-generates interactive mind maps from your content — a feature Scholarly doesn't offer. Visual learners find this essential for understanding complex topic hierarchies before drilling with flashcards.
Full Active Recall Suite
TikoNote adds Blurting (AI-scored brain-dump) and a Feynman AI tutor alongside its quiz engine — a complete active recall system that goes well beyond Scholarly's primarily MCQ-focused approach.
Built for Lecture Heavy Courses
If you have hours of audio recordings, TikoNote's ability to digest, summarize, and map out long lectures beats Scholarly's text-focused approach.

The Verdict
Scholarly is a solid study tool for text-heavy courses. TikoNote is built for the full range of modern course content — including long audio lectures — and adds mind maps and deeper active recall tools for courses with complex material.
"Scholarly was fine but I needed more than MCQs. TikoNote handles my 2-hour lecture recordings and its Feynman sessions helped me actually understand the mechanisms, not just memorize them.
