Glean Notes

Please update it to where we can use the Apple Pencil to take notes on the ppt slide that was imported!!! It would make the app so much better. Also I can only import one slide set, it would be nice to be able to import multiple slideshows. Please give me a response and I’ll change my rating!!! Thanks

Seems like good app for what it is advertised to do, but it doesn’t interface well with the iPad/pencil combo. I’d love it if there was an update to allow handwritten notes within the app and also live captions, again, in app. :)

I use glean for my school and it’s great… only if it’s on phone. When it’s on my laptop or computer it takes forever to load, it overheats my laptop, it doesn’t play my audio recordings and it likes to stop working and freeze up while I use it. So this rating is for the website. Been using it for 2 and a half years now and I always had these problems. Thought it would get better but it seems to only get worse

Hello! I love this app and have been using it for my accommodations since 2021. Recently the app has been crashing on me a lot. I always make sure im on the latest update. If I add too many things too fast it will crash. This includes the regular notes, important notes, taking photos, and posting the slides. This is frustrating because I have to be able to add stuff quickly while im in class. If it crashes I then have to go back into the app and resume the recording so it will end up having a gap. I am not sure if it’s an issue with my phone or if it’s the app. I genuinely love glean it has helped me so much with school. Hopefully this can be solved in one way or another.

I’m a user of OneNote by choice, but I’m having to use this app as it was recommended to me by our accessibility department. In Microsoft OneNote, when I take a picture it has the option to take a photo, a whiteboard shot or a scan, I believe. In the latter of the two cases, it only captures the whiteboard and allows me to adjust for it. Even when taking a picture at an angle, Microsoft OneNote straightens it out as if I’m standing right in front of the board or screen. I would like to see better image capture tools for the app.

I have an account through my university for ADA Accommodations, however, I use my iPad and Apple Pencil for all my notes so I haven’t been able to really use this app since there is no pencil integration.

If we could edit the transcripts that would really help with clarity as Glean doesn’t always pick up what is being said accurately. Even if we could save and download the transcripts so we could fix it ourselves, that would be absolutely stellar. If you guys could achieve that then this app would definitely be a five star experience in my book.

I had given up on glean, and then I saw that you could transcribe and include slides, and I came back for the new semester, ready to try again. But I come to find out the transcription service is only available in the web app. Despite my iPad having 6gb ram and 2.49 gHz, I can’t transcribe. I don't even know if I could view the transcriptions afterwards on my iPad if I put the time in to go to the library to use a computer to transcribe. It’s not a usefool tool when I have 15 hours a week of transcribed audio and no quick way to go through it. For over a year I have tried to make it work for me. Transcription would save this tool for me, yet Glean doesn’t seem to want to make that an option for all learners, despite transcription coming out months ago.

Speech to text is nice, but wish it was available to see on iPhones, as I use that more than computers. I have been searching for a way to download the audio and text notes together (or at all). I want take the notes I make to use in future classes. Will this ever be a feature? Re-recording the audio, copy/pasting the transcripts and then my actual notes isn’t the same if they aren’t put together.

newest update causes the app to crash immediately on startup
