Live lecture transcription, classroom translation, bilingual captions, and AI study notes for international students. BeginClass is a 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. Use it for lectures, seminars, 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. MULTILINGUAL LEARNING Supports English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Turkish, Dutch, Polish, Ukrainian, and Malay. Transcription and translation availability differs by device and language pair. Follow English-taught lectures, Japanese seminars, or Korean classes with captions, then review the original and translated notes. 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. Automatic refinement and summaries are enabled after first-launch consent and can be disabled in Settings. Manual and eligible automatic summaries send transcripts online. 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 Recognize and translate text from slides, handouts, and whiteboard photos. 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. ORGANIZE YOUR COURSE NOTES Group notes by course or topic, and merge recordings from separate sessions into one audio note for review.
