Don’t miss a word.

MAMAKO helps teachers of multilingual learners give every ELL/EAL student access to the curriculum. A teacher opens it in Chrome or Edge on the laptop they project from and teaches as usual. MAMAKO captions their speech on the classroom screen, floating over their slides or filling the board, and glosses the hard words in simpler English or in the class's home language. A word wall collects the lesson's key terms as they come up. After class, MAMAKO writes a short recap of the lesson, which the teacher checks and shares with students by link.

Teachers in international schools, bilingual schools, and EAL/ESL programs where students learn academic content in English while still developing the language. MAMAKO is designed for secondary education: middle school, high school, AP, and IB Diploma, where academic English moves faster than multilingual students can keep up with in real time.

No. MAMAKO is built for secondary-level academic vocabulary and lessons. The glosses, the word wall and the lesson recaps all assume secondary-aged learners, so we do not currently support PK-5 classrooms.

No. MAMAKO works inside the regular classroom, alongside specialist EAL teachers, pull-out programs and co-teaching. It is designed to catch what slips past students during a mainstream lesson, so EAL specialists can spend their time on the work that needs their expertise.

You open MAMAKO in Chrome or Edge on the laptop you project from, run a mic check that takes seconds, and teach as usual. MAMAKO captions your speech on the classroom screen: a slim caption strip sits over your slides, or board mode fills the screen when nothing else is up. It glosses hard words at the level you set, in simpler English or in your class's home language, and a spoken command saves key moments as notes on the board.

Students do not need a device during class. They follow the captions on the board.

Live captions of your speech, in one of two layouts. The floating strip is a slim caption bar that sits over your slides, videos or anything else on screen, and in Chrome or Edge it stays on top as you switch windows. Board mode fills the whole screen with large captions when nothing else needs to be up. In both layouts, hard words carry a short gloss at the level you chose, and saved notes appear on the board. If you turn on caption translation, your browser can also show the captions in one other language. You can switch layouts at any point in the lesson.

No. MAMAKO runs in Chrome or Edge on the laptop you already project from, and there is nothing to install. Caption translation uses your browser's built-in translator, which may ask to download a language once. Students open the lesson recaps you share in any modern browser, with no account.

All subjects. MAMAKO captions the teacher's English speech whatever the subject: math, science, humanities, English and electives. It is built to work across a whole department, because the language gap shows up in every English-medium classroom, not just in English class.

No. During class the board carries the captions, so students need no device and no account. After class, you share a recap of the lesson by link. Students can read it on any device, with today's words in their own language, and you can also share a class glossary with flashcards and quizzes.

After the lesson ends, MAMAKO writes a short recap with a paragraph for each part of the lesson and today's words. Depending on your plan, it also picks out a few sentences said in class, with notes on what each one shows, and useful phrases with their meanings. You read the recap, hide anything you don't want students to see, and share it by link. The word-for-word transcript stays with you for checking and is deleted automatically 7 days after the lesson.

MAMAKO transcribes English, so the teacher needs to teach in English. Glosses, the word wall and the class glossary work in 13 languages: Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Korean, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, and Indonesian. Caption translation, when you turn it on, uses one language at a time and runs in your browser, so the languages it offers depend on your browser.

MAMAKO uses production-grade speech-to-text to generate live captions. Accuracy is highest with a clip-on or headset microphone, a teacher speaking at a normal pace, and a room with typical classroom acoustics. Built-in device microphones work, but transcription quality drops as the room gets noisier or the teacher moves further from the device. No automatic transcription is perfect. For a multilingual student trying to catch one unfamiliar word in the moment, "close enough, in real time" is the support that matters.

A laptop with Chrome or Edge, an internet connection, a microphone close to your mouth, and the projector, classroom TV, or interactive whiteboard you already teach with. There is nothing to install.

A wireless clip-on lavalier microphone paired to the laptop you teach from. The mic stays inches from your mouth while you walk around the room, which produces the cleanest transcription regardless of classroom noise. A built-in device mic or a wired headset works if that is what you have, but a wireless lavalier is the setup we recommend.

Neither. During class the captions are on the board, so students need nothing at all. After class, the lesson recap and the class glossary open from a link, with no account. There is no purchase, no license to assign, and no school provisioning step.

Yes. Individual teachers will be able to subscribe on their own, with no purchase order and no district contract. Schools and districts can also cover a group of teachers with a package. MAMAKO is not on sale yet, so register at mamako.app/pricing and we will email you when it opens.

No. Open MAMAKO in the browser on the laptop you project from, run the mic check, and teach. The platform is built to fit how teachers already run classes rather than adding another tool to manage during the lesson. Setup takes a few minutes, and the mic check adjusts itself to your room.

MAMAKO does not store classroom audio. The word-for-word transcript is kept only for the teacher to check and is deleted automatically 7 days after the lesson. We do not use your classroom content to train AI models, and we do not sell student data. Our privacy policy lists the service providers that process data to run MAMAKO.

Pricing details are coming soon. MAMAKO is not selling subscriptions yet - we would rather settle the price than quote you one and then change it. Join the list and we will email you when it is set.

What is already decided: students never pay, and they need no account to open what their teacher shares.

MAMAKO for teachers is not open yet. Register at mamako.app/pricing and we will email you when it opens. From there, you create a class, teach with live captions, and share each lesson recap by link.

If you are a school or department that wants one package covering several teachers, contact us at mamako.app/contact.

MAMAKO Learn is our course library for students, separate from the classroom captioning product. The first course is AP Business with Personal Finance: a complete set of lesson videos covering the course, plus exam-style practice.

The course is free. All 31 lessons, the written notes, 172 practice questions and a 439-term glossary need no account at all, and a free account only exists so it can remember what you have finished.

The question banks — every wrong answer explained, plus free-response scoring guides — are a separate one-time purchase that is not on sale yet. Pricing details coming soon.

Students taking AP Business with Personal Finance and anyone self-studying for the exam. Teachers are welcome to use the free lesson videos with their classes.
