Search your Canvas lectures by what was said

Kaltura lectures in your Canvas courses play inside Wingit with the transcript beside the video, timestamped and searchable. Robin, the AI study assistant in Wingit, knows the transcripts too, so notes on a lecture take one ask.

  1. Open a lecture

    It plays in Wingit, listed under its course, with the transcript following along. Click any line to jump there.

  2. Search what was said

    One search covers your lecture transcripts and your course pages, and quotes the line it found.

  3. Ask Robin for notes

    The ideas that matter, in the order they were taught, each with its timestamp and its source.

The transcript follows the video

As a lecture plays, the line being said stays lit and the transcript scrolls with it. Click a line and the video jumps there. Find in transcript narrows it to the lines with your word, and Copy puts the whole transcript on your clipboard.

A week of an earth science course, paused at 12:40, with its captions following along. Sample student data.

One search across your lectures and pages

Search in Wingit covers everything your courses gave you at once: pages, files, discussions, announcements, and lecture transcripts. Each result names the course and quotes the passage it found, so you can tell a syllabus line from something said in a lecture.

So a search for “late policy” turns up the paragraph in the syllabus, your instructor’s reply in a discussion, and the moment in the first week’s lecture where it came up, without playing a single video.

Notes from what was said

Ask Robin for notes on a lecture and it reads the transcript itself, not a search snippet. You get the ideas that matter for the course, in the order they were taught and in your instructor’s own terms, each with its timestamp.

Ask from the lecture’s own page and the lecture comes with the question. Then ask Robin to quiz you on it, or to explain the part you zoned out for.

On Plus and Pro, notes you want to keep become a document you can edit and export. If a transcript runs longer than your plan reads at once, Robin says how much it read; Pro reads more of it at once.

Which lectures work

Currently Kaltura, with the captions your school provides. A lecture without captions has no transcript yet.

  • Kaltura, in your Canvas courses. Lectures your courses share through Kaltura are listed under each course.
  • Your school’s captions. The transcript is the captions your school added to the lecture. Wingit doesn’t make transcripts of its own.
  • No captions, no transcript. The lecture still plays, marked No transcript yet.
  • Locked lectures say so. A lecture your school protects shows an error, not a workaround.
