BeginClass vs CoreTalk

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. BeginClass requires iOS 26 or later. 2. Speech recognition, text recognition, and Apple Translation use on-device system technologies.

System-audio transcription requires authorization and activation through the iOS system broadcast panel. Protected, silent, or unavailable audio may not be captured. 5. Results vary with the device, system language-model support, recording quality, background noise, and speech. 6. All features are free to use. No registration or account is required.

CoreTalk turns your phone into a real-time, face-to-face interpreter. Put the phone flat on the table between you and the other person and just talk — CoreTalk listens to both sides and shows the translation on a split screen, with the far side rotated 180° so it reads perfectly for the person across from you. FACE-TO-FACE, HANDS-FREE • Split-screen layout: your half faces you, the other half faces them. • Each side reads and hears the translation in their own language. • Designed for a phone lying flat between two people. REAL-TIME, TWO-WAY • Both directions are translated live as each person speaks. • Streaming captions appear as the words are still being spoken. • Spoken translation plays automatically so no one has to look down. AI OR HUMAN — YOUR CALL • Manual mode: hold to talk, full control of each turn. • Hand to AI: let the AI interpreter run the conversation automatically. • Take over: step back in at any moment. Switch between AI and human instantly. BUILT FOR TRAVEL & EVERYDAY • Restaurants, markets, front desks, clinics, meetings — anywhere two languages meet. • Swap the language pair and per-side voices in one tap. • Conversation history you can look back on. BRING YOUR OWN AI CoreTalk connects to your own AI translation server (and optionally your own OpenAI key) — you stay in control of your data and your usage. No account or sign-up required to try it: open the app and tap Demo Mode to see the full experience with sample content, no credentials needed. Your credentials are stored only on your device.
