Tookoo vs BeginClass

Tookoo turns two phones into a live interpreter. You speak your language — the other side hears theirs, translated in real time by AI. THREE MODES • Push-to-Talk: hold the button while you speak, like a walkie-talkie. • Talk-to-Talk: hands-free — translation starts automatically when you speak. • Listen: interprets the conversation around you discreetly into your ear, with a hold-to-reply button. INVITING IS EASY Share a QR code or a link. The other side joins right in the browser — no app, no account. Their language is already preselected from your invitation. MADE FOR REAL CONVERSATIONS • 79 languages • Live transcripts of both sides • Speaker, earpiece or headset output — tap the active output again to mute and just read • A delay gauge shows how far the translation runs behind FREE Tookoo is free and shows a short ad before a conversation starts. Conversations are limited to 60 minutes — reconnecting takes one tap. Tookoo needs an internet connection and microphone access. Voice audio is processed in the cloud for translation — see the privacy policy at tookoo.drawla.app.

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. PHOTO AND CONVERSATION TRANSLATION Capture or choose slides, handouts, whiteboards, and other images to recognize and translate their text. Two-way conversation translation helps with office hours, group discussions, and everyday communication. SYSTEM AUDIO AND FLOATING CAPTIONS On supported iPhone and iPad devices, use the system broadcast panel to transcribe course audio playing in another app. Picture in Picture can keep live captions visible while you use other apps. BeginClass does not save screen video. SEARCH, REVIEW, AND SHARE Search notes by title or transcript content, compare original and translated text, listen to the associated recording, and copy or share the text you need. Great for: - International students and multilingual classes - University lectures, online courses, and seminars - Study groups, interviews, and meetings - Course recordings, podcasts, and educational videos - Language learning and cross-language conversations Privacy and requirements: 1.
