Glean is a browser-based app that records audio and transcribes it into text. The software divides content into manageable chunks. It allows the user to add slides, diagrams, and text notes alongside the recording. Recordings are stored in the cloud and so can be accessed from different devices.
If you have access to Glean as one of your approved accommodations, please fill out this form to request an account and an ARS staff member will contact you with access information.
Students with disabilities who are unable to take or read notes may have the accommodation to record class lectures only for personal study purposes.
