Every student follows every lecture
Real-time multilingual captions for lectures, seminars, and campus events — delivered to every student's device, in their language.
Language barriers hurt learning
Universities enroll international students from dozens of countries — yet most instruction still happens in a single language. The result: students who are academically capable but linguistically disadvantaged.
Research consistently shows that comprehension barriers lead to lower grades, reduced participation, and higher dropout rates among international and ESL students.

Questions from educators
Does InterScribe fulfill ADA captioning requirements?
InterScribe provides real-time live captions that can support ADA and Section 504 accessibility efforts for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. Compliance depends on context-specific factors such as accuracy, reliability, and institutional implementation, so schools should validate requirements with their ADA/Section 504 coordinators or legal counsel.
How does it work for large lecture halls?
InterScribe is built for scale. Hundreds of students can connect simultaneously with no degradation in latency or accuracy. All they need is a phone and internet access.
Can we use it for online and hybrid classes?
Yes. InterScribe integrates with in-person audio and can also caption virtual sessions. Students in the room and remote students both access captions via the same link.
What languages are supported?
100+ languages, including Spanish, Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic, French, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Russian, and many more.
How does pricing work for universities?
InterScribe offers institutional plans designed for universities with multiple departments and recurring use. Contact us for a custom quote.
Can individual students use InterScribe outside of class?
Yes. InterScribe Anywhere (scrb.live) lets individual students use real-time captioning independently — at study groups, events, or any situation where they need comprehension support.
