How do Live Captions work?

While recording a class or lecture, students can follow along via captions directly in Glean. When enabled, captions will appear a couple of lines at a time, and will disappear as new audio is recorded.

 

Live Captions are now available in multiple languages, so your students can access captions when class is delivered in Spanish, German, Dutch, or many other languages.

 

After class, students can still transcribe their whole class in the same way they do now.
