Break the language barrier and engage all your students.
International students are a growing population at universities, but the language barrier makes it difficult for them to understand everything that is going on in class. With spf.io, you can help by providing live captions and translation of lectures directly to the students who need it. All it takes is speaking into a microphone that’s connected to spf.io.
Ready for Anything
With spf.io, you can provide translation to your students any time with automated translation always at your fingertips.
Convenient Display
Translation and slides can both be displayed through spf.io. Show them on a projector or directly on the students’ computers.
