Ava Pro license for students (paid by your school/university)

Ava software is free to download and use. With the free license you get unlimited credit in basic quality (each conversation limited to 40min).

For students, we offer the Ava Pro license, which gives you unlimited subtitling credit in Premium quality (95% accuracy), longer conversations (2h instead of 40min, perfect for classes) and many other features (live translation, recording of written transcripts, etc.)

This license can be taken over entirely by your school or university, so you won't have to pay anything.
