Turn every class into text, translations, and study-ready highlights you can revisit anytime. BeginClass is a smart lecture-notes app built for classes, online courses, seminars, and learning across languages. Follow a live transcript while the class is happening, then review the recording, transcript, bookmarks, translations, and AI summary together after class. LIVE LECTURE TRANSCRIPTION Choose the language being spoken and see timestamped transcript segments appear while you record. It is useful for university lectures, online courses, seminars, interviews, meetings, and study discussions. REAL-TIME TRANSLATION Display the original transcript and translated text together for supported language pairs, helping you keep up in a class taught in another language. You can also translate the complete saved transcript after class. RECORDING, TRANSCRIPT, AND BOOKMARKS TOGETHER Each recording stays with its transcript. Listen while you read, add bookmarks during class, and return quickly to the moments you want to review. AI CLASS SUMMARIES Create a structured summary from a saved transcript to identify key ideas, learning points, and review cues. The transcript is sent to the AI service only when you explicitly request a summary. TRANSCRIBE AUDIO AND VIDEO FILES Import recordings, audio, and video from Files or Photos, or send supported media to BeginClass from another app. Turn course recordings, podcasts, talks, and interviews into searchable text.
