Transcript has Notebook uploads—but zero Canvas SpeedGrader stealth.
Transcript (`transcript.study`) is a popular homework companion because its Notebook feature lets you upload class slides and notes. But during a live Canvas or Blackboard exam, Transcript relies on highlighting text to inject “The Button” directly into the page DOM and opens a visible AI Chat & Voice panel—firing window.blur and leaving DOM traces.
ExamGhost gives you the same lecture-grounded Course Materials RAG Vault—paired with a 100% Focus Shield blur interceptor, Closed Shadow DOM isolation, and 1px corner dot stealth, starting with 50 Free Solves ($0, no credit card).

How ExamGhost Upgrades Transcript's Study Workflow for Live Exams
Compare how both extensions handle course material uploads, question extraction, and Canvas SpeedGrader anti-detection.
Great for homework studying—risky during a timed midterm
Transcript's Notebook lets you upload lecture slides and notes so the AI references your course content. However, to read those answers or ask follow-ups, you must interact with Transcript's full-size AI Chat & Voice panel.
Clicking into that chat widget shifts browser focus out of the Canvas quiz window, logging “Stopped viewing the Canvas quiz-taking page” in SpeedGrader.
Your professor's exact lecture slides—delivered with zero blur flags
Upload your course PDFs, study guides, and lecture slides into ExamGhost's Course Materials RAG Vault before your exam. During the test, ExamGhost cross-references your professor's exact definitions with multi-model AI consensus and displays the answer silently inside our Closed Shadow DOM HUD or 1px corner dot—with zero focus loss.
$179.88/year recurring cost with no anti-detection layer
When you press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+1 for Transcript's Scan and Solve (Snapshot), it injects a drag-selection overlay into the active page without blocking window.blur, focusout, or visibilitychange.
Meanwhile, Transcript bills $14.99 every month ($179.88/year) with no discounted academic-year pass or one-time lifetime option.
In-memory OCR with Focus Shield + 50 Free Solves upfront
ExamGhost's ⌘+Shift+S Snap-It captures graphs, circuits, and organic chemistry structures inside a Closed Shadow DOM sandbox while keeping Focus Shield locked on.

Frequently Asked Questions: Transcript AI vs ExamGhost
Can Canvas detect Transcript AI's “The Button” and Snapshot features?
Yes. Transcript (transcript.study, Chrome ID klknhfgkblobpfimidmhkclikdalnoke) relies on highlighting text to trigger “The Button”—an injected floating helper button in the host page DOM—or opening an interactive AI Chat & Voice panel. Highlighting text and clicking into Transcript's overlay shifts focus away from the exam page and fires window.blur in Canvas SpeedGrader.
How does Transcript's “Notebook” compare to ExamGhost's Course Materials Vault?
Both tools allow you to upload lecture slides, PDFs, and class notes so the AI answers using your professor's exact curriculum. However, Transcript displays those answers inside a high-visibility sidebar/popup with zero tab-blur protection, whereas ExamGhost delivers context-grounded RAG answers inside an undetectable Closed Shadow DOM HUD or a 1px corner indicator dot.
What happens if a Canvas quiz disables text highlighting while using Transcript?
Transcript's “Text Selection & The Button” workflow fails when an instructor enables CSS user-select: none or blocks selection events. Students are forced to use Transcript's Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+1 Snapshot drag tool, which opens a visible screen-capture box without Focus Shield blur suppression. ExamGhost reads Canvas Classic and New Quizzes Shadow DOM automatically with zero highlighting required.
How does Transcript.study pricing compare to ExamGhost in 2026?
Transcript charges a recurring $14.99/month subscription ($179.88/year, or $719.52 over a 4-year degree) with no one-time lifetime license. ExamGhost gives you 50 Free Solves upfront with no credit card required, plus $19/mo Monthly, $99/yr Academic Year ($8.25/mo), or $199 Lifetime.
