Getix Translate for students: Q&A
What is Getix Translate for students?
An AI translator for lectures and classes, for exchange and international students and the schools that teach them: live captions in your language in the lecture hall, in online classes on Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, and on course videos on your screen. 60 languages, up to five at once depending on the plan. Run from Valencia, Spain, under the GDPR, the EU data protection law: accounts and transcripts are stored in the EU.
Can I use it in class?
Ask your professor first: many universities treat live captions, and any text you save, like a recording of the lecture. If you host, tell the room. Each reader can download the text in their language with Save, so keep it for your own study and don’t share or post it. Not for exams or graded work.
Does it work for online classes on Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams?
Yes. Send the Getix Translate bot to the class and it joins under its own name, listed with the participants, and the teacher admits it like any guest. Classmates open the captions link and read in their own language. For a lecture or a course video on your screen, pick its tab or window instead.
Does it help me learn the language?
Use it as a safety net. Read in the language of the lecture when you can, switch to yours when a part gets hard, and switch back with one tap on Change. If you host the session yourself, you see both languages side by side. That way you follow lectures in Spanish and keep learning.
How well does it follow a lecture?
Well enough to follow a lecture, not well enough to take dates and rules on trust. Names, numbers and new terms are where AI slips, so switch to the lecture’s language to check what matters, and ask the host to add the course terms to the glossary. For enrolment, grades and other formal decisions, get the answer in writing. It is not a substitute for a certified or sworn interpreter where one is required.
Where does my audio go?
To our speech providers, to become text and translation. It does not go to a human, and we do not train AI models on your meetings. What kinds of providers we use, which region they run in and how long anything is kept is on our privacy page.
How much does it cost, and can my school get a free trial week?
Plans run from €13.99 a month (Intern, 2 hours of live translation a month) to €169.99 (Boss, 45 hours a month for you and 5 team members). All prices include VAT. Every plan starts with 5 free minutes, no card, and only the host uses minutes, however many classmates read. Language schools and universities can ask for a price with the form on this page: a person agrees the conditions and the usage limit of the free trial week, and our Terms include a Data Processing Addendum (section 5).
