EchoLens - Every word you hear, saved forever.

Problem it Solves:

 

Students often struggle to take notes while listening to fast-paced lectures. Some focus so much on writing that they miss understanding the concepts, while others rely on friends or recordings that may not be reliable. For students with learning difficulties or language barriers, keeping up in class becomes even harder. Missing key points during lectures directly impacts learning and exam performance.

 

 

Current Market Gap:

 

Voice recorders and note-taking apps exist, but they require manual effort to start, stop, and organize recordings. Transcription software is available, but most are expensive, require internet, or don’t integrate well with student life. What’s missing is a hands-free, real-time solution that captures lecture content automatically and organizes it as usable study notes.

 

 

My Solution:

 

SmartNotes Glasses—lightweight glasses with a built-in microphone and AI assistant. As the student attends a lecture, the glasses capture speech and convert it into real-time notes on a connected app. The AI highlights key terms, adds timestamps, and organizes notes by subject. Students can later search, review summaries, or even convert notes into flashcards for revision. The device is discreet, requires minimal effort, and works both online and offline.

 

 

Who Benefits:

Students → focus on understanding instead of frantic note-taking.

Teachers → students retain more, fewer repeated questions.

Parents → assurance that their child is learning effectively.

Universities → improved academic outcomes and accessibility for all learners.

 

 

Business Model:

 

SmartNotes Glasses can be offered in two ways:

Freemium App: Free basic transcription for mobile (with manual recording).

Premium Glasses + App Bundle: Includes hands-free note capture, AI summaries, and study tools.

Institutional Licensing: Universities can provide them in classrooms as part of digital learning initiatives.

 

 

Why This Matters to Me:

 

As students, we know the pressure of keeping up with lectures, assignments, and exams. I’ve often seen classmates miss important points just because they were still writing the previous line. This project matters to me because learning should be about understanding, not just copying. SmartNotes Glasses would give students confidence, save time, and make studying more effective.
