How does Transcription add value for students?
Glean provides a more well-rounded note taking experience through the use of transcription and other complementary product features. It allows you to streamline your tools without the need for a separate transcription service.
Prioritise note taking skills
Provide a tool that promotes transcription as part of a structured note taking process, meaning that there’s a real purpose behind this product feature.
Improve student independence
With Glean’s Transcription feature, you can support students who are transitioning from peer note takers. Transcription is more than a safety net - it’s part of the note-taking process.
Support learners of all abilities
Now Glean users have transcription at their fingertips, the app is now better suited for students who struggle with attention, concentration, and information processing.
How can you give your students access to Transcription in Glean?

FAQs
We've put together a selection of FAQs to answer any questions you might have at this stage.
When will my institution get access to Transcription?
At present, Transcription is only available as part of our Glean for Education plan for institutions. While we can’t yet say when Transcription may become more widely available, it is something we will be assessing closely over the coming months - watch this space! Can’t wait? Visit our Glean for Education page to learn more about the package!
How accurate is Transcription?
We cannot currently provide accuracy figures for Transcription. Due to the potential variance in the acoustic quality of recordings, we need to analyse real-world performance over a large sample size before we can provide such figures.
Are any limitations on usage?
By default, all of your student users will have access and there is no specific set usage limit in place. However, both individual users and institutions are subject to a ‘fair use’ policy.
