Assistive note-taking tool (formerly Glean) that records and transcribes lectures and classes for students.
Lyrebird Health is an AI medical scribe that listens during clinical consultations and automatically generates transcribed, structured clinical notes and documents.
Genio, formerly known as Glean, is an assistive note-taking platform that helps students capture and learn from lectures and classes. It records class audio and provides live captions during the session, then generates a full transcript afterward, letting students focus on understanding rather than frantically writing notes. Genio lets learners add their own notes, organize material with AI-generated outlines, import slides and reading material, and review with study features such as quizzing, tying recorded audio together with class content. The platform is widely used by students, including learners with specific learning difficulties, and is adopted by educational institutions that provide it as a study and accessibility support tool. It works online or offline across devices, which suits classroom and lecture-hall environments. Genio is positioned as a mainstream learning tool that also supports accessibility needs. It is actively operating in 2025 and 2026, reporting use by well over a hundred thousand students and more than a thousand institutions, with active sign-in, pricing, and ongoing product development. Pricing varies by plan. Check the official website for current pricing.

Lyrebird Health is an AI medical scribe built for healthcare practitioners. It listens in the background during a consultation, transcribes the conversation into text in real time, and then generates a structured clinical note (such as SOAP format or a custom template) within seconds of the consultation ending. Beyond notes, it can draft documents like referral letters and medical certificates ready for review. The product runs in the browser (Chrome recommended) on desktop and mobile, supports terminal-server and remote-desktop environments, and is compatible with in-person and telehealth (phone and video) consultations. It offers direct dictation and AI-driven "smart dictate" modes, learns each clinician's documentation style, and includes a translation feature for non-English consults. Lyrebird integrates with electronic medical record systems including Best Practice, Genie/Gentu, and FHIR-compliant systems for one-click note transfer. It is aimed at doctors, specialists, nurses, allied health professionals, dentists, psychologists, and other clinical roles across solo practices, clinics, and enterprise healthcare organizations.
