Thin explanations
You get the answer and a sentence or two. When the concept is the problem, that is not enough.
StudyFox vs Transcript
The Transcript alternative with study tools behind the answer
Transcript gives you an answer and a link. StudyFox gives you the answer, the reasoning, and a way to make sure you know it next week.
The short version
Transcript is a lightweight homework extension: highlight or screenshot a question, get an answer, an explanation and some related resources. It is quick and it is simple, and that is also the limit. There is nothing to study from afterwards and the free allowance runs out fast. StudyFox does the same inline solving on Canvas, Blackboard and Moodle, shows the steps, and turns your course material into spaced-repetition flashcards, quizzes, notes and mind maps on a free plan.
