Why transcribing classroom Q&A isn’t enough
Classroom Q&A sessions are often the most valuable part of a lesson, but they are also the most chaotic. Simply having a wall of text from a recording doesn't help a student recall the nuance of a complex answer or the context of a peer's question.
Questions are often buried in long, unstructured audio files.
Key clarifications are missed because students are busy writing rather than listening.
Important edge cases discussed during Q&A rarely make it into primary textbooks.
Quick win: Record the Q&A on your phone and upload it immediately to capture the highest energy part of the class.
Common mistake: Thinking that a raw transcript is a study tool; without structure, it’s just more noise to filter through.

How accurate is the transcription for classroom settings?
Duetoday uses advanced AI models designed to handle classroom acoustics and multiple speakers. While background noise can affect any tool, our system excels at filtering out ambient chatter to focus on the teacher and student voices. For best results, place your recording device as close to the speaker as possible.
Can I upload multiple recordings at once?
Yes, Duetoday supports bulk uploads. You can upload several recordings from a week of classes at once. The AI will process them individually, allowing you to build a comprehensive library of classroom Q&A sessions across your entire semester.
How do the flashcards work?
The AI scans your transcript for natural question-and-answer patterns. It then extracts these into a flashcard format that focuses on active recall. You can review these cards directly within Duetoday to ensure you remember the key points from the Q&A.
What file types can I upload?
Duetoday supports all major audio and video formats, including MP3, WAV, M4A, and MP4. Whether you recorded a voice memo on your phone or a Zoom session on your laptop, you can easily import the file for instant transcription.
Can teachers share these transcripts with students?
Absolutely. Once you transcribe classroom Q&A, you can export the generated notes or share access to the study system. This is a great way to provide accessibility support for students who may have missed the class or need written reinforcements.
What makes this better than a raw transcript?
A raw transcript is just text. Duetoday is a learning workspace that creates context. It connects your Q&A transcripts with your PDFs and notes, allowing for a 'connected brain' experience where you can search across all your materials at once.
Is there a limit to the length of the recording?
Duetoday is built to handle long-form educational content, including full-length lectures and extended Q&A sessions. There are no strict limits that would prevent you from uploading a standard 60 or 90-minute classroom recording.
How should I record for best results?
To get the best results when you transcribe classroom Q&A, try to minimize movement near the microphone. If the classroom is large, sitting in the middle or near the front will help the AI distinguish between the teacher's voice and the students' questions.
What is the pricing for Duetoday?
Duetoday offers various plans, including a free tier to get you started. This allows you to experience the transcription and study tool generation first-hand. Check our pricing page for details on higher-volume plans for power users.
Does Duetoday summarize the answers?
Yes, the 'Smart Summary' feature specifically looks for the core answer provided by the teacher. It strips away the 'umms' and 'ahhs' to give you a concise, readable version of the explanation provided during the Q&A.
Duetoday is an AI-powered learning OS that turns your study materials into personalised, bite-sized study guides, cheat sheets, and active learning flows.
