Live lecture slides, transcripts and questions. Teach the idea. Keep the questions.
Teach from the conversation in the room. Give an explanation a slide or chart when it needs one, keep the transcript for the students who missed it, and save the questions worth returning to.
Get for MacCONVOLENS for events
CONVOLENS is a desktop app that listens to a lecture or class as it happens. It transcribes the session so students can revisit it, builds a slide or diagram from the explanation when you ask, shows Entity Cards for the names and works mentioned and suggests questions to check understanding. It works from the classroom microphone or on a call beside Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams.
CONVOLENS is available on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
In the flow
Bring the lesson in. Teach with the room. Keep what the class produced.
Prepare the material, use the live tools that help an explanation land, and share the record afterwards.
Bring the lesson in
Import the syllabus, the reading and your notes before class. Use Chat to prepare examples and check the terms you expect to come up.
Teach with the room
Follow the live transcript, ask Chat or Voice for a slide, infographic or Visualizer chart when an explanation needs a picture, and watch Insights and Entity Cards for the ideas and names that surface.
Keep what the class produced
When you stop recording after class, Enhance fills in the Notes from the transcript. Export the slides or notes you want to share with students.

Does CONVOLENS record students?
It transcribes the audio source you select: the microphone, or the microphone plus system audio. Tell the class how you use transcription and notes, and follow your institution’s recording rules.
Can students use it too?
Yes. Anyone with a Mac, Windows, or Linux computer can run it for a study group, a seminar or a recorded lecture they are reviewing.
What can I share afterwards?
Slides export as HTML or PowerPoint, notes as Markdown, and the session export includes the transcript and an SRT file.
Can students get the transcript after class?
Yes. Open the session in History and export the transcript and any slides or notes made during the lecture, then share them the way you share other course material.
Does CONVOLENS work with Zoom or Google Meet for remote classes?
Yes. CONVOLENS listens to your microphone and the audio playing on your computer, so it runs beside Zoom or Google Meet for remote classes or any other app without joining the call or changing its settings. For remote calls choose System + Microphone as the audio source.
Which platforms does CONVOLENS run on?
CONVOLENS is available on Mac, Windows, and Linux. It needs the microphone permission and, for calls, the system-audio permission. The download page is where a computer installs it. On a phone, tablet, or Chromebook, nothing downloads.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Start free with limited monthly usage. The app shows your current allowance, and you choose a plan in the app.
