Study in United Kingdom with confidence
Welsh is spoken by more than 900 thousand people worldwide, primarily in United Kingdom, with speakers around the world. For students, that means encountering Welsh in lecture halls, seminars, online classes, and study groups.
Traditional transcription tools struggle with real-world Welsh — fast academic speech, regional accents, technical terminology, and overlapping voices. Soniox App understands Welsh as it's actually spoken: in context, instantly, and with the precision students need to study from their notes.
Live university lectures
Capture every word in real-time, even in large Welsh-speaking classrooms with echo, background noise, or fast-paced delivery. Soniox App transcribes it all so you can listen and absorb instead of scrambling for notes.
Online classes
Your Welsh Zoom sessions don't disappear when the call ends. Soniox App captures live sessions and turns them into a permanent text record you can revisit anytime.
Study groups & tutoring sessions
Know exactly who said what with built-in speaker separation. Review Welsh explanations and Q&A later, word for word, no matter how fast the conversation moved.
Guest speakers or panels
Every Welsh guest speaker brings unique insight you won't find in a textbook. Soniox App transcribes it all in real-time so nothing gets lost between the talk and your notes.
Multilingual classrooms
Studying Welsh as a second language, or in a classroom that mixes languages? Soniox detects mid-sentence language switches and provides real-time translation.
Notes & exam preparation
Soniox App turns Welsh lectures into searchable notes you can review, highlight, and study from before exams. Nicely formatted, no cleanup needed.
Note-taking shouldn't get in the way of learning Welsh
