Why students choose Capsu
The study assistant international students use
Yu ChenUniversity of Manchester
The transcript is genuinely useful. My lecturer speaks very quickly, so being able to review the bilingual transcript keeps me from losing the rest of the class.
KellyMA in Media Studies
I used to listen, translate and take notes at the same time. With Capsu, I can finally focus on the lecture first and organise everything afterwards.
KevinThird year in Toronto
When I remember a forty-page reading the night before a seminar, Capsu helps me find the main arguments before I return to the original text.
User 0786Law student
Some papers make sense word by word but not paragraph by paragraph. Being able to ask follow-up questions while reading is especially helpful.
LiuLaw student at Sydney
It is hard for me to explain an argument clearly in English. Preparing a speaking outline first makes joining seminars much easier.
SophieEducation student at Bristol
Capsu shows me where an argument is still weak, so I can add the missing reasoning or evidence before class.
Kevin ZhengColumbia CS
My slides, recordings and notes used to live in different places. Keeping them together for review is much more convenient.
Xiaotong LinUCL Sociology · Year 2
After a lecture, the organised notes help me understand what the lecturer was actually trying to explain during the hour.
Hang ZhouUBC · Year 3
I used to reread notes and still struggle with questions. The quizzes make revision more active and systematic.
WuExchange student at NUS
English was not my only problem—I often had ideas without a structure. Capsu helps me organise them much faster.
Zhe XuEconomics at Berkeley
When searching for references, I easily lose track of my original claim. Matching evidence to the argument first gives me a clearer path.
Siqi LiPsychology at Edinburgh
The best part is no longer switching between several tools for the same class.
Alex ZhangSecond year in Australia
A study-focused assistant is more practical than repeatedly rebuilding prompts from scratch in a general chatbot.
Frequently asked questions
What is Capsu, and which international students is it for?
Capsu is an AI study assistant for international students, helping with lectures, course readings, seminar discussions, course notes, essay writing and revision.
How is Capsu different from standard live-translation software?
Standard live-translation tools mainly help you follow and translate a lecture. Capsu also combines your course materials with AI Q&A, key-point organisation, seminar preparation and revision so you can keep using what you learned.
Is it complicated to use when I have classes every day?
No complex reformatting is required. Add course materials or a recording, then read, ask questions, take notes and revise within the same course instead of moving between multiple tools.
Which course materials can Capsu work with?
You can organise lecture recordings, PPTs, PDFs and other course materials in one course, then use them for reading, questions, note-making and revision.
Can Capsu create notes from a recording without slides?
Yes. You can start with a lecture recording for transcription and content organisation. Adding slides, PDFs or a course outline gives Capsu more context for specialist terms and helps produce more complete notes.
Can it handle lecturer accents and noisy classrooms?
Capsu is optimised for varied university lecturer accents and complex recording environments, with accent correction, distance-noise reduction and classroom voice enhancement. Results can still depend on recording distance, device quality and background noise.
Which subjects and specialist terms are supported?
Capsu uses the materials, terminology, abbreviations and topics in the current course as context across different subjects. Adding relevant slides, PDFs or readings provides a fuller course context.
How does Capsu help with revision and likely exam topics?
Capsu can organise revision priorities from lecture recordings, slides, PDFs and other materials, help anticipate likely topics, and generate mind maps, flashcards, quizzes and study guides.
What if I have no idea what to say in a seminar?
Add your course materials in advance to organise English talking points, source evidence and likely follow-up questions, then prepare responses and supporting ideas from the course content.
Can Capsu help with course essays?
Capsu can use your essay question and course materials to organise an outline, central claims, evidence and references to support your writing process.
Is there a mobile app?
Capsu is currently primarily web based and is designed for working with course materials, recordings and notes during class. Refer to official release information for the latest mobile availability.
Will my recordings or course files be made public or used for training?
Storage, usage and deletion of course materials and recordings follow the official privacy policy and terms of service. Refer to the published privacy information for details.
Does using an AI study assistant follow academic-integrity rules?
Capsu supports learning rather than replacing your own thinking or completing assessed work. Always follow the rules of your university, course and lecturer when using recording and AI tools.
