Native Camp Introduces Full-Lesson Automatic Transcription Feature — a First Among Japan-Based Online English Conversation Services

Native Camp Inc. (Shibuya City, Tokyo; CEO: Kunihiro Tanikawa), which operates the unlimited online English conversation service 'Native Camp English Conversation,' has officially introduced an automatic transcription feature for all lessons.

This feature automatically converts the content of lesson recordings into text, which members can access after each lesson via the lesson history screen on PC browsers and mobile apps. This enables users to review expressions they couldn’t catch during the lesson, their own spoken English, and natural phrases used by instructors — all in written form.

Background: Preventing Passive Learning and Enhancing Review-Friendly Learning Experiences

In language learning, reviewing after a lesson is essential for knowledge retention. However, in online conversation services, learners often face challenges such as difficulty confirming expressions they missed during the lesson, trouble objectively reviewing their own speech, and the need to take notes for later review.

As a result, many learners end up treating lesson attendance itself as the goal, leading to passive 'one-way' learning where content isn’t properly internalized.

To address these issues, Native Camp has introduced the automatic transcription feature in addition to its existing lesson recording function. By allowing users to focus fully on conversation during lessons and review content in text afterward, the company aims to support more efficient review and continuous learning.

About the Full-Lesson Automatic Transcription Feature

This feature automatically transcribes lesson recordings into text, accessible via the lesson history screen.

Previously, learners had to re-listen to audio recordings to review lesson content. With the addition of automatic transcription, users can now review lesson content not only through audio but also in text format. This allows visual confirmation of missed expressions, natural phrases used by instructors, and their own spoken English — significantly improving review efficiency.

▼ Now

Review possible via both audio recordings and transcribed text

With both audio and text available, learners can make better use of commute time and other spare moments for review.
