Keep up in the moment
Read the original speech and translation while the lecturer continues.
Live lecture translation
Follow lectures with live bilingual captions.
See the lecturer’s words translated while you listen. After class, return to the recording and review it as a timestamped bilingual transcript — without separating it from your notes.
Free to download · Pro US$8.99/month · iPhone, iPad & Mac
Return to what you missed
Use timestamps to revisit the relevant part of the recording.
Keep notes connected
Lecture audio, transcript, and your notes stay in one workspace.
Built for second-language lectures
Listen now. Revisit the exact moment later.
Live translation helps you follow the room; timestamps make the recording useful after class.
01 · Start
Open your course note and begin the lecture recording.
BBNotes keeps the listening workflow inside the notebook you already use for the class, rather than starting a separate recording and translation trail.
02 · Follow
Read the lecturer’s words and translation together.
Keep listening while the original speech and translated captions stay visible. You do not have to leave the lecture to rebuild one sentence in another app.
03 · Review
Return to the timestamped bilingual transcript after class.
Find the sentence you missed, replay the corresponding moment, and review it beside the course material instead of searching through an undifferentiated recording.
One continuous lecture record
From spoken sentence to reviewable course context.
BBNotes keeps the live moment and the later review connected.
