Real-time lecture transcription that runs on your Mac — no internet required, no subscription needed.

The Problem

Taking notes during a lecture means constantly choosing between listening and writing. You miss key points while scribbling, and your handwritten notes are unsearchable later. Recording lectures helps, but re-listening to a 90-minute recording to find one concept is painful. Cloud transcription tools require Wi-Fi that campus networks often throttle, and they cost more than a student budget allows.

The Solution

Glasscribe sits in your menu bar and transcribes lectures as they happen — entirely on your Mac. Capture your professor through the microphone during in-person classes, or use system audio capture for online lectures on Zoom or recorded videos. Every word is transcribed in real time and stored in searchable session history. After class, search for any topic or keyword to jump straight to the relevant section. No internet, no subscription wall — just a tool that works.

Key Features

Works Without Wi-Fi

All transcription runs on-device. No need to fight campus Wi-Fi or worry about bandwidth throttling. Glasscribe works in lecture halls, libraries, and anywhere your Mac goes.

2

Live Floating Overlay

A floating window shows transcription in real time over your other apps. Follow along with the lecture while taking supplementary notes in your preferred app — see both at once.

3
