Empowering neurodivergent brains with Genio

Tracey Valliere Evans has been a freelance Assistive Technology Trainer since 2017, working with a diverse range of individuals, including DSA students and professionals from various industries, such as social work, law enforcement, and psychiatry. She has witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of Genio Notes on her diverse clientele.

For many, the moment they see Genio Notes' transcription feature is truly a "wow moment". It's a common reaction from her clients, especially those in the workplace who graduated before Genio was around: "Why did I not have Glean when I was a student?"

Tracey highlights how Genio Notes' features directly address common challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals, particularly in processing large amounts of information. The sheer volume of text in transcripts can be overwhelming.
 

"People get overwhelmed. They see all this text information. There's a lot of information. It's just coming at you. Coming at you."

This is where Genio Notes' AI-powered features become invaluable. The Quiz Me feature, for instance, helps users break down dense information.
 
"The quiz came in, it was brilliant. The way it pulls it apart, throws questions up , and then makes you think, oh yes, that's something that I hadn't thought about and I had forgotten about in the session, in the lecture."
 
Tracey notes that being able to work things out through quizzes aids in memory and retention, while the Outline feature provides essential structure.
 
"To break that down, it is just super for them because they can just concentrate on one section at a time."

That's because many struggle with creating their own structure from extensive lecture content:

"Some people, they struggle to create their structure and to break things down into, into various compartments or compartmentalise, all that text from the lecture."

This feature facilitates the understanding and processing of information more easily for neurodivergent individuals.

Even during live meetings, Genio Notes' captions can be incredibly beneficial.
 
 "They know it's being audio recorded. They know they can transcribe it later, but sometimes actually reading what's being said and listening to what's being said can help them process that information and remember it better."
 

Tracey's experience underscores Genio Notes' role as a vital tool that genuinely transforms how her clients engage with and understand information, reducing overwhelm and enhancing their ability to learn effectively.
