Why transcribing classroom recordings isn’t enough
Simply having a wall of text from your lecture won't help you master the material. When you transcribe classroom recordings, a raw transcript is often disorganized, filled with filler words, and lacks the hierarchy needed for effective revision. It’s a passive starting point, not an active learning system.
Information overload: Scanning a 60-minute transcript to find one specific concept is time-consuming.
Lack of structure: Raw audio doesn't differentiate between a main thesis and an off-hand comment.
Active recall gap: Reading a transcript is passive; it doesn't challenge your brain to retrieve information.
Quick win: Use transcript timestamps to jump directly to the moment a teacher explains a complex diagram or formula.
Common mistake: Thinking that reading a transcript twice is the same as studying. Without synthesis, retention stays low.
What you get in Duetoday
Duetoday is a retention-first learning workspace. It is designed to be a complete study system that turns your classroom audio into tools that help you actually remember what was taught.
Searchable transcript
Stop scrubbing through hours of audio. Our tool lets you jump to exact spoken words while the audio plays in sync, making it easy to clarify difficult concepts.
For example, if you forgot the specific definition of 'mitosis' given in class, just search the term and listen to that exact segment.
Best for: Fact-checking specific lecture details.
Best for: Creating verbatim citations for assignments.
Smart summary
Get a high-level overview of the entire session. Duetoday identifies the core themes and organizes them into a clean, readable format that highlights the most important takeaways.
Instead of reading 10,000 words, you get the essential 500 words that actually matter for your exams.
Best for: Quick pre-exam reviews.
Best for: Refreshing your memory before the next class.
Study guide
Our AI analyzes your recordings to create a structured guide. It connects your classroom recordings with other uploaded materials like PDFs and Notion notes to give you a unified view.
If your chemistry teacher mentioned a specific lab during the lecture, the study guide will highlight its importance alongside your textbook notes.
Best for: Creating a roadmap for long-term revision.
Best for: Identifying knowledge gaps early.
Flashcards (spaced repetition)
Duetoday automatically generates flashcards from the key facts found when you transcribe classroom recordings. These are designed for active recall to ensure long-term retention.
Convert names, dates, and formulas mentioned in class into interactive cards that test your knowledge.
Best for: Memorizing terminology and key dates.
Best for: Daily study sessions during commute times.
Practice quiz (active recall)
Test your understanding with AI-generated quizzes. These questions mimic actual exam formats, forcing you to apply what you learned rather than just recognizing words.
If a lecture covered the causes of the French Revolution, Duetoday can generate a multiple-choice quiz based on those specific points.
Best for: Simulating exam conditions at home.
Best for: Strengthening neural pathways for better recall.
Best for: Identifying which topics need more focus.
Key questions / action items
Extract a list of tasks or questions mentioned by the instructor. Never miss a homework assignment, a reading suggestion, or a potential exam question again.
The AI isolates phrases like "make sure you study this for Friday" and puts them into a dedicated task list.
Best for: Staying organized with deadlines.
Best for: Capturing "hints" teachers give about upcoming tests.
Quick win: Use the customizable templates to format summaries in the Cornell Note-taking style automatically.
Common mistake: Ignoring the custom AI tutor chat. You can ask it to "Explain the third paragraph like I'm five" for instant clarity.
How it works
Upload your audio: Drag and drop your classroom recordings or paste a link from a recorded session. Duetoday supports single and bulk uploads to keep you organized.
AI Processing: Our system will transcribe classroom recordings and automatically generate your summary, flashcards, and practice quizzes based on the unique content of your lecture.
Study and Recall: Use the AI Tutor to ask questions about the material or use the generated study guide for your weekly review sessions to ensure the info sticks.

How accurate is the transcription?
Duetoday uses advanced AI models to ensure high accuracy when you transcribe classroom recordings. While background noise can affect any tool, our system is optimized to ignore classroom chatter and focus on the instructor's voice. You can always edit the text directly in the workspace if a technical term needs correction.
Can I upload multiple recordings at once?
Yes, Duetoday supports bulk uploads, allowing you to process an entire week of lectures in one go. This helps you maintain a unified library where all your classroom data is searchable from a single dashboard. It saves time compared to processing files individually.
How are flashcards generated from the recordings?
Once you transcribe classroom recordings, our AI identifies key definitions, facts, and relationships within the text. It then formats these into a front-and-back flashcard style. You can review these within Duetoday or use them to power your spaced repetition routine.
What file types do you support for classroom audio?
We support most common 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 it into your learning brain. We also support direct links from YouTube for recorded seminars.
Can teachers share these transcripts with students?
Absolutely, Duetoday makes it easy to export your generated summaries, notes, and transcripts to share with others. This is a great way for teachers to provide accessible study materials to students who may have missed class or need extra support. You can export in several generic text formats.
How is this different from a raw transcript?
A raw transcript is just text; Duetoday is an intelligent learning workspace. We turn that text into structured study tools like quizzes and mindmaps. Our system connects the recording to your other notes and PDFs, creating a cohesive network of knowledge rather than isolated files.
Do you offer practice quizzes for every recording?
Yes, the AI can generate practice questions for any content you upload. By analyzing the transcript, it identifies likely test material and creates Q&A sets. This helps you move from passive listening to active testing immediately after class ends.
How do I get the best results from my recordings?
To get the best results when you transcribe classroom recordings, try to place your recording device as close to the instructor as possible. Reducing ambient noise helps the AI distinguish between the lesson and student conversations. High-quality audio leads to even more precise summaries and flashcards.
What are the pricing options for students and teachers?
Duetoday offers a range of plans, including a free tier to get you started with basic transcription and study tool generation. For those with high-volume needs, such as daily lectures, our premium plans offer more processing power and advanced features. You can compare options on our pricing page.
