Your professor's words, line by line in your language. A line to say when you're called on, notes ready after class, and a pixel cat by your side. New? 3 days of Ultra.
OldCat is the class companion for international students: live captions and translation of your professor's words, highlights during class, notes after it and Vocab review, with a pixel cat by your side.
LIVE TRANSLATION
• Your professor's words appear line by line, in the original and in your language
• Classes in Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, French, German, Spanish and more, even when the professor switches languages
• Picks up your course's terms from this class and your Vocab; maths shows as symbols, like μ and x²
• Scroll back without being pulled down; tap "Jump to latest" to follow again
• Pause for the break and carry on with the same class
AI HIGHLIGHTS AND ASK AI
• Live Summary, Key Terms, Help Me Answer and Exam Focus, kept up to date as the class goes on
• Called on? Ask AI gives you a line you can say right away (Pro: 10 Quick Answers per class; Ultra: unlimited)
• Deep Think (Ultra): a larger model, more thorough
NOTES AFTER CLASS
• Notes as soon as class ends, checked against the transcript, with dates like exams picked out
• Dates heard in class wait for your OK before going into Coming up and your calendar
• A notification when they're ready
• Mind Map (Pro): one for every class, drawn for you
• Share notes, mind maps, Deep Dives and handwritten notes with classmates; they can save them to their own classes (recordings are never shared)
DEEP DIVE (ULTRA)
• Teaches the class again after it ends: the reasoning step by step, your teacher's examples, term cards and questions to think about
• Every card leads back to what the teacher said
FILE ANALYSIS (ULTRA)
• Turn slides and readings into notes
VOCAB
• New terms from class go into your Vocab, with reviews spaced by how well you remember them
• Spelling practice: get words right to earn Fish Treats
ON IPAD
• Bring in your slides and write on them with Apple Pencil
• Captions float over your slides: move them, resize them, set the color; fold the bars away
• Handwritten notes on Lined Paper, Dot Grid, Grid Paper or Blank Paper, all A4; add pages and zoom in to write
• Export slides and handwritten notes as PPT or JPG
ONE ACCOUNT ON IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC
• Your cat, its room, Fish Treats, achievements, Timetable and Vocab stay in sync
YOUR PIXEL CAT
• Name it, dress it up, decorate its room and play with toys
• Check in and spell words to earn Fish Treats; the Achievement Wall keeps track of how far you've come
FREE TO USE
• Daily Nibble: the first 30 minutes of cloud recognition each day are free (up to about 1.5 hours a month); after that captions pause while recording goes on, and pick up again with a plan or a Snack Pack
• AI Highlights and notes after class work on the free plan too, using the daily free time
• Welcome Gift: link your Apple Account and get 3 days of Ultra, no card needed

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
· On iPad, switch the class page between Slides, Notes and Translation
· Steadier, faster captions that reconnect on their own after a network drop
· Smarter in-class answers: only questions really asked of students, answered with the whole class in mind
· Fixed: resizing the window on iPad could crash the app or stop translation
· Fixed: broken strokes in handwritten notes
· The recording is saved even when the microphone takes a moment to get ready
