How do Live Captions help you?
Are you hard of hearing, or perhaps you struggle to concentrate during class? Live Captions make it easy to follow along with spoken content and make sense of what your lecturers are saying.
Support hard of hearing students
Live Captions means that deaf and hard of hearing students can now be supported with Glean, and benefit from our structured note taking process.
Help learners maintain focus in class
Learners that find it difficult to focus in class benefit from captioning, meaning the app is now better suited for students who struggle with attention, concentration, and information processing.
FAQs
We've put together a selection of FAQs to answer any questions you might have at this stage.
Will you be adding live transcription?

What is the delay between the lecturer speaking and the transcript being generated?
The delay is approximately between 300 and 500 milliseconds.
Can I use Live Captions on mobile?
