What is ADA Solution?
ADA Solution engages the student in real-time. The lecture is converted from speech-to-text on the fly(Beta). The application allows students to ask questions, make comments and most importantly, collaborate in the classroom. We have added unique features to enhance the classroom experience.

- Transcript cost is high
- Students learning is directly proportional to interpreter’s vocabulary and technical knowledge
- Existing audio or video files are not being converted to text content
- Course materials are not supporting multiple languages
- Supporting differently abled students takes more time for professors
