Semester was smooth sailing. I appreciated being able to not only record lectures, but, convert them into text as well. The recordings are on point; however , I do have to touch up the text when I copy and paste to google docs (formatting correct words, and grammar). Good thing I have grammarly, Work smarter not harder.

I have Glean on both my laptop and my phone. It has been really helpful for my classes, but there are some errors that can be bothersome. If you're in the middle of listening to a lecture and you pause it for more than a minute or two, it won't play again. I have to completely refresh the page and try to find where I left off. It's also extremely difficult to get any of the lectures I recorded on my laptop to transfer over to my phone app even though I used the same account.

Hi Dani. Thank for the 4 stars. Your Glean Events will automatically sync across devices, so long as you're online. You're the first to report a playback issue, so we're keen to understand what is happening there. Please can you email me at help@glean.co and I can help with the issues you describe. Regards David

Love this tool! We have it for students at our school and it is honestly one of the best note taking tools out there! Not only does it let a student take notes but it really combines The Best of Both Worlds when it comes to audio note taking and a student's preferences to take their own notes. I cannot recommend this enough and encourage you if you are a student to talk with your school about purchasing a license for this!
