LecMind中文

Mac beta open

Follow every sentence
of your English lectures

I'm doing an MBA in New Zealand. In my first semester I only caught half of many lectures, so I built this for myself: when the lecturer finishes a sentence, the whole sentence appears with a translation underneath, and key terms are explained as they come up. The Mac version is in a small beta. It's free, and I'd love your feedback.

Right, so last week we talked about the cost of capital.

好,上周我们讲了资本成本。

Today we’ll use it to decide whether a project is worth doing.

今天我们用它来判断一个项目值不值得做。

The tool for that is net present value, or NPV.

用的工具叫净现值,也就是 NPV。

If the NPV is positive, the project should add value for shareholders.

如果 NPV 是正的,这个项目应该能给股东创造价值。

把未来的现金流按资本成本折算到今天,再减去投资额。

How to join

  1. 1Install TestFlight on your Mac

    Apple's free testing app, from the Mac App Store.

  2. 2Click “Join the beta” above

    TestFlight opens LecMind. Choose Accept, then Install.

  3. 3Open LecMind and claim the free week

    Nothing is charged during the beta. Try one class and read the summary afterwards.

Who we're looking for

  • Students taking classes in English. If you study in the UK, US, Canada or Hong Kong, you are still in term for a few weeks
  • A Mac on macOS 13 or later (macOS 26 uses Apple’s newer speech recognition; earlier versions use the older one, which can be less accurate)
  • Ten minutes to tell us what could be better

Before you start

No recordings, no audio sent

Speech becomes text on your Mac only.

Your notes stay on your Mac

Captions and summaries are stored locally. Text passes through our server to the AI for translation and summaries; the server keeps none of it.

Check your university’s rules

Some universities treat transcription as recording and need the lecturer’s consent.

A thank-you for testers

If you join before launch and use LecMind for at least one class, you will find a thank-you gift in the app after the official launch.

Questions

Is it available in mainland China?

LecMind is not offered in mainland China for now.

Does it cost anything?

No. Purchases inside the beta use Apple’s test environment, so nothing is charged.

Is there an iPhone version?

It's in progress. We'll post here when it's ready.

How many places are there?

This round has a limit. When it fills, the link stops working for a while.
