Why transcribing group discussion recordings isn’t enough
Simply having a wall of text from a group session won't help your students master the material. When you transcribe group discussion recordings, you often end up with disorganized dialogue that is difficult to navigate during revision.
Overlapping voices make it hard to identify key learning objectives.
Critical insights are often buried in conversational filler and tangents.
Static text lacks the active recall tools needed for long-term retention.
Quick win: Use a high-quality central microphone to ensure every student's contribution is captured clearly for the AI.
Common mistake: Thinking a raw transcript is a study guide; without structure, students will likely never read it again.
What you get in Duetoday
Duetoday is a retention-first AI learning workspace. We turn your audio into a complete study system, not just a transcript, by connecting your discussions to your existing notes and PDFs.
Searchable transcript
Stop scrubbing through hours of audio to find a specific mention. Our searchable transcript lets you click any word to jump to that moment in the recording.
In a group setting, this allows students to quickly find where a specific debate or consensus was reached.
Best for: Fact-checking specific student claims.
Best for: Fast navigation of long seminars.
Smart summary
Our AI analyzes the flow of conversation to produce a structured executive summary. It identifies the main themes and sub-topics discussed by the group.
Instead of reading a transcript, students get a high-level overview of the most important takeaways from the session.
Best for: Getting the gist of a missed lesson.
Best for: Rapid pre-exam review.
Study guide
Duetoday transforms the dialogue into a structured study guide. It organizes conversational points into logical headings and bulleted lists automatically.
Imagine turning a 40-minute chaotic debate into a 2-page organized outline ready for distribution.
Best for: Creating handouts for the whole class.
Best for: Aligning discussion points with curriculum goals.
Flashcards (spaced repetition)
The AI identifies key terms and definitions mentioned during the talk and generates flashcards. These are designed for spaced repetition to ensure students actually remember the content.
If a student defines a complex concept during the talk, it becomes a flashcard instantly.
Best for: Vocabulary and concept mastery.
Best for: Long-term retention of classroom debates.
Practice quiz (active recall)
Test student comprehension by turning the recording into a multiple-choice or short-answer quiz. This forces students to retrieve information from memory.
The quiz focuses on the actual arguments made during your specific group discussion recordings.
Best for: Assessing class participation.
Best for: Identifying knowledge gaps in the group.
Key questions / action items
Never lose track of the "next steps." Duetoday extracts unanswered questions and assigned tasks from the audio automatically.
If a group decides to research a specific topic by next week, it appears right in their task list.
Best for: Project-based learning groups.
Best for: Closing the loop on classroom discussions.
Quick win: Use the AI Tutor chat to ask "What were the three strongest arguments made in this recording?"
Common mistake: Forgetting to review the generated flashcards within 24 hours of the discussion.
How it works
Upload your audio: Simply drag and drop your group discussion recordings into the Duetoday dashboard. Our AI begins the transcription process immediately, identifying key themes in the background.
Review the AI Brain: Within minutes, Duetoday generates your transcript, summary, and study guide. You can explore the connected context where the AI links your discussion to other uploaded PDFs or notes.
Execute with Study Tools: Use the generated flashcards and practice quizzes to reinforce the material. Check off AI-generated action items to ensure all group tasks are completed.
Checklist before you upload
Ensure the file is in a supported format like MP3 or WAV.
Check that background noise is at a minimum for better accuracy.
Group your recordings by topic or class name for better organization.
Have your supporting materials (PDFs or YouTube links) ready to connect.
Quick win: Name your files clearly (e.g., "History-Group-A-Nov-10") so Duetoday can organize your learning brain more effectively.
Common mistake: Waiting too long to upload; process your audio while the discussion is still fresh in everyone's mind.

How accurate is the transcription for multiple speakers?
Duetoday uses advanced AI models designed to handle diverse voices and accents. While some overlapping speech can be tricky, the system provides a highly accurate foundation that can be easily edited or summarized. For the best results, ensure the recording device is placed centrally between all group members.
Can I upload multiple recordings at once?
Yes, Duetoday supports bulk uploads of audio files. This is perfect for teachers who need to transcribe group discussion recordings from several different breakout sessions simultaneously. You can then organize them into a single learning workspace for your class.
How are flashcards generated from a discussion?
The AI scans the transcript for significant concepts, definitions, and unique insights shared during the conversation. It then formats these into front-and-back flashcards automatically. Students can then use these within Duetoday to practice active recall.
What kind of practice quizzes can I create?
Duetoday generates various quiz formats, including multiple-choice and Q&A sets based on the transcript's context. These aren't generic questions; they are specifically pulled from the arguments and facts mentioned in your recording. This ensures the quiz is relevant to your specific classroom session.
Which file types are supported for upload?
We support all common audio and video formats, including MP3, WAV, M4A, and MP4. You can also import recordings directly from YouTube if your discussions are hosted there. This flexibility makes it easy to bring all your media into one study brain.
Can teachers share these outputs with their students?
Absolutely. Once Duetoday has processed the recording into notes, summaries, or flashcards, you can export these materials or share them digitally. This allows you to provide high-quality study aids to the entire class with minimal manual effort.
How is Duetoday different from a raw transcript?
A raw transcript is just text, whereas Duetoday is a complete learning workspace. We don't just give you the words; we provide the "brain" to understand them. By connecting the transcript to your other materials, Duetoday helps students connect the dots between discussions and textbooks.
What are the best tips for high-quality results?
For the best experience, minimize background noise and encourage students to speak one at a time. The clearer the audio, the more precise the smart summaries and flashcards will be. Using a dedicated recording app on a smartphone often yields better results than a laptop microphone.
Is there a limit to the length of the discussion?
Duetoday is built to handle everything from short 5-minute clips to long 3-hour seminars. Whether it's a quick huddle or a full-length classroom debate, our system processes the data efficiently. Higher-tier plans offer even more capacity for heavy users.
Are my recordings kept private?
Yes, your privacy is a priority at Duetoday. We use secure processing to ensure your classroom recordings and student data remain private. We provide a safe environment for teachers to manage their intellectual property and student work.
Duetoday is an AI-powered learning OS that turns your study materials into personalised, bite-sized study guides, cheat sheets, and active learning flows.
