Lectures and studying

1 min read

Situation

You are studying in a language that is not your first: a university lecture, an online course, a seminar, a language exchange. The teacher speaks quickly, you are taking notes, and you miss things.

Benefits

  • The whole lecture appears as text while it is being spoken, translated into your language. You can listen instead of writing.
  • Afterwards you have the full transcript and an AI Summary of the key points, so revision starts from a clean document.
  • Technical terms you add to AI Context are recognised consistently, which matters in medicine, law and engineering.
  • Language learners can read the original and the translation side by side.

Mode and setup

One-Way on a laptop in class, or the phone app when you are on the move. For recorded lectures and online courses, see Videos and online courses.

  1. Set Translate to to your language.
  2. Sit near the front, or use a small clip-on microphone if the room is large.
  3. Click Start Talking at the beginning and Done at the end.

Notes

  • Add the course vocabulary to AI Context before the first class. The syllabus is a good source.
  • Ask permission before recording a lecture; many universities require it.
  • Use Free scroll in Display to look back without losing the live text.

Result

A transcript per lecture in History, with a summary. When revising, search across all of them.
