SCOOP

Inspiration

Our vision is to empower students with the tools they need to succeed academically, regardless of their individual challenges or circumstances. We believe that access to high-quality educational resources should be a right, not a privilege. We want to make classrooms more inclusive and accessible.

What it does

We offer a range of groundbreaking features that set us apart in the educational technology landscape:

1. Real-Time Transcription: Our system seamlessly converts spoken words into typed notes in real-time. Professors can simply speak, and students can absorb the content effortlessly, whether they are in the classroom or attending remotely.
2. Accessibility and Inclusivity: We prioritize accessibility for all students. Hearing-impaired or disabled students can now access lecture content without barriers. Our commitment to inclusivity extends to those who may have difficulty with writing or typing.
3. Calendar Integration: With the user's permission, our system identifies important deadlines and adds them directly to their calendar. This feature helps students stay organized and on top of their coursework.
4. Note Organization: After transcribing the lecture, our system prompts users to select from a range of features for note organization. Students can sort notes by topic, date, or keywords, making it easier to review and study.
