Why transcribing exam prep sessions isn’t enough
Preparing for high-stakes exams requires more than just a wall of text. Simply having a recording converted to words doesn't help you recall information when the clock is ticking during your test. When you transcribe exam prep sessions, you often realize the raw data is messy, filled with filler words, and lacks structure.
Standard transcription services leave you with thousands of words to sift through, making it hard to find the actual exam tips buried in the audio. Without organization, a transcript is just another document to ignore.
Information Overload: Hundreds of pages of text make it impossible to prioritize what will actually be on the exam.
Lack of Engagement: Reading a transcript is passive learning, which is the least effective way to retain complex exam material.
Hidden Insights: Crucial teacher hints about "what to focus on" get lost in the middle of long-winded explanations.
Quick win: Use the search function within your transcript to immediately jump to keywords like "Review," "Important," or "Exam Tip."
Common mistake: Thinking that owning the transcript is the same as understanding the material. Transition to active recall immediately.

How accurate is the transcription for exam prep sessions?
Duetoday uses advanced AI models to ensure high accuracy for technical terms, formulas, and academic jargon. While no AI is 100% perfect, it provides a highly reliable foundation that captures the nuances of teacher-led sessions. You can easily edit any specific terms if needed.
Can I upload multiple recordings at once?
Yes, Duetoday supports bulk uploads, allowing you to transcribe exam prep sessions from an entire semester in one go. This helps you build a massive, searchable knowledge base for your finals. It’s the most efficient way to organize your semester’s worth of audio content.
How does it turn a transcript into flashcards?
Once you transcribe exam prep sessions, our AI analyzes the text for key definitions and concepts. It then automatically formats them into digital flashcards that focus on active recall. You can review these cards directly within the Duetoday workspace anytime.
Can I generate practice quizzes from my sessions?
Absolutely. Duetoday scans your transcripts to identify potential exam questions based on the instructor's emphasis. It creates multiple-choice or short-answer quizzes to test your knowledge before the actual exam date arrived. This ensures you are practicing, not just reading.
What file types do you support?
We support all major audio and video formats, including MP3, WAV, M4A, and MP4. You can also import recordings directly from Zoom, YouTube links, or your phone's voice memos. This flexibility makes it easy to capture content from any device.
Can teachers share these transcripts with students?
Yes, the outputs generated by Duetoday can be exported or shared with classmates and students. This makes it a great tool for study groups or instructors who want to provide accessible notes to their class. It fosters a collaborative learning environment.
Is this better than a raw transcript?
Raw transcripts are just text, which can be overwhelming. Duetoday is better because it converts that text into actionable study tools like summaries and mind maps. It’s the difference between having a giant pile of wood and a finished house.
How can I get the best transcription results?
For the best results, ensure your recording has minimal background noise and the speaker is clear. If you are recording in a large lecture hall, try to place your device closer to the front. High-quality audio leads to near-perfect AI analysis and summaries.
