Learning & Development

Transkriptor, an AI-powered transcription tool, is making significant strides in helping educational institutions address language barriers in diverse classrooms. A recent study revealed that non-native speakers in universities using Transkriptor understood lectures better and participated more when transcriptions were provided in their preferred language. Initially created for business meetings, this tool has now found a growing role in education, providing solutions for students facing language barriers and learning differences in today’s digital learning environment. Eylem Işık, a research assistant at Galatasaray University, explains the value of transcription tools in such scenarios: “During the pandemic, international students struggled to keep up with lectures in a second language while taking notes. Tools like Transkriptor help ensure continuity in education during disruptions.”
