Speaker: Allan "A4", Student at SUNY Brockport
When you first started using Glean, what were the key challenges you wanted help with?
Allan "A4": Hi, my name is A4, I'm a graduate student at SUNY Brockport in Brockport, New York. I've been using this incredible helpful app for about a year and a half, and I only wish I had discovered it sooner. As a student who receives accommodations through the accessibility service office, I often need extra time to fully process and retain the information present in my classes. I was looking for a tool that could record my lectures and provide accurate transcriptions so that I could review the materials at my own pace. Both my reading and listening. Glean has been an incredible resource in helping me stay on top of my coursework and engage with the content more effectively.
How has Glean impacted your learning experience and how quickly did you notice this impact?
Allan "A4": Since using Glean, I've noticed a huge improvement in how I process and retain information. Before, I struggled to keep up with lectures and it would take me a long time to go through my notes and piece everything together. But with Glean, I can record and transcribe everything, which allows me to review the materials at my own pace. I noticed the impact almost immediately. My stress levels dropped because I wasn't scrambling to write everything down, and my confidence in studying grew, since I knew I had reliable notes to go back to. It's also helped me stay more organized, which has made a big difference in balancing my coursework and personal life.
Would you recommend Glean to other students?
Allan "A4": I would absolutely recommend clean to other students, especially those who need extra time to process information or have accommodations like I do. It's a game changer for anyone who struggles with note taking. Keeping up with lectures, or just staying organized. Glean makes it easy to record and transcribe lectures, so you can review them at your own pace, which reduces stress and helps with retention. Whether you're a student with a learning disability, someone juggling a busy schedule, or just looking for a better way to study, Glean can make a huge difference. I wish I had started using it sooner.
