Why transcribing HSC classes isn’t enough

For Year 11 and 12 students, the Higher School Certificate (HSC) involves a massive volume of content. Simply getting a wall of text from your lecture recordings won't help you ace your trials or final exams because raw text is hard to navigate under pressure.

  • Raw transcripts don't highlight the specific HSC syllabus dot points being covered.

  • Reviewing a 60-minute recording takes 60 minutes, which is time you don't have during exam blocks.

  • Static text doesn't test your active recall, leaving you vulnerable to forgetting key concepts during the actual HSC exam.

Quick win: Use transcripts to find specific keywords mentioned by your teacher that hint at likely exam questions.

Common mistake: Thinking that just having a transcript counts as studying; without interaction, you won't retain the content.

What you get in Duetoday

Duetoday is a retention-first workspace designed to turn your HSC recordings into a full study system. We go beyond basic text to help you actually master the syllabus.

Searchable transcript

Never scroll through hours of audio again. Use the search bar to find exactly when your teacher explained a complex concept or gave an exam tip.

If you're studying Modern History, search for 'Treaty of Versailles' to jump straight to that moment in the lecture.

  • Best for: Locating specific teacher explanations.

  • Best for: Fact-checking your handwritten notes.

Smart summary

Get a concise breakdown of your HSC classes. Duetoday identifies the core themes and removes the filler, giving you a streamlined version of the lesson.

An hour-long Biology lecture is distilled into the most important biological processes and definitions.

  • Best for: Quick pre-exam reviews.

  • Best for: Students who struggle with note-taking speed.

Study guide

Duetoday takes your transcript and organizes it into a structured guide. It maps out the lesson in a logical flow that mirrors your textbook.

Perfect for creating a comprehensive folder for subjects like Business Studies or PDHPE.

  • Best for: Term-long organization.

  • Best for: Filling gaps in your manual study notes.

Flashcards (spaced repetition)

Our AI identifies key terms and definitions in your HSC classes and generates flashcards automatically. This allows you to use spaced repetition to lock in facts.

Instantly turn a Chemistry lecture on stoichiometry into a deck of cards for daily practice.

  • Best for: Memorizing syllabus terminology.

  • Best for: Long-term retention leading up to trials.

Practice quiz (active recall)

Don't just read—test yourself. Duetoday generates quizzes based on the actual content of your recorded classes to ensure you understand the material.

Generate multiple-choice or short-answer questions tailored to the specific content your teacher emphasized.

  • Best for: Self-assessment before class tests.

  • Best for: Identifying weak areas in your knowledge.

Key questions / action items

Get a checklist of what to follow up on. Duetoday extracts the specific tasks or questions your teacher posed during the HSC class.

If your teacher says, 'Review page 42 for homework,' Duetoday lists it as an action item.

  • Best for: Staying on top of homework and assignments.

  • Best for: Organizing your study schedule around teacher priorities.

Quick win: Generate flashcards immediately after transcribing while the context is still fresh in your mind.

Common mistake: Ignoring the practice quizzes; active recall is the most effective way to improve your HSC rank.

How it works

  1. Upload your HSC class recordings (audio or video) or paste a link from a remote lesson directly into the Duetoday workspace.

  2. Wait a few moments for the AI to transcribe the audio and generate your summary, study guide, and practice tools.

  3. Review your new materials, save flashcards to your deck, and use the AI tutor to clarify any difficult syllabus points.

Checklist before you upload

  • Ensure your audio file is clear and audible.

  • Check that you have the correct subject folder selected in your workspace.

  • Have your syllabus PDF ready to upload as a secondary context source.

  • Ensure you have a stable internet connection for faster processing.

Quick win: Use the Google Calendar integration to schedule your review sessions right after the transcription is ready.

How accurate is the transcription for HSC classes?

Duetoday uses advanced AI to ensure high accuracy, even with complex terminology found in subjects like Extension Math or Science. While no AI is 100% perfect, it provides a highly reliable base that captures the nuances of teacher explanations. You can easily edit any specific terms if needed.

Can I upload multiple recordings at once?

Yes, Duetoday supports bulk uploads, allowing you to process an entire week’s worth of HSC classes in one go. This helps you keep your entire subject library updated without individual manual efforts. It is perfect for catching up after a busy assessment period.

Does it automatically generate flashcards?

It does. Once you transcribe HSC classes, the AI analyzes the content to identify key definitions and concepts fit for flashcards. These are generated instantly, saving you hours of manual data entry so you can start studying right away.

What kind of quizzes can I generate?

Duetoday creates practice quizzes featuring multiple-choice and short-answer questions based on your lecture content. This helps simulate the HSC exam environment and tests your active recall of the specific topics covered in class. You can repeat these quizzes as often as you like.

What file types do you support?

We support a wide range of audio and video formats, including MP3, WAV, and MP4. Whether you recorded your HSC class on a phone, a laptop, or through a Zoom link, Duetoday can process the file easily. You can also import content directly from YouTube or web links.

Can teachers share these transcripts with students?

Absolutely. Duetoday is a great tool for teachers to provide accessible notes and study aids to their Year 11 and 12 cohorts. Sharing the generated summaries and flashcards can help level the playing field for all students in the class.

How is this different from a raw transcript?

A raw transcript is just text; Duetoday is an interactive learning workspace. We turn that text into structured study materials like mind maps, summaries, and quizzes. It connects your class audio to your PDFs and Notion notes for a unified 'AI Brain'.

Any tips for getting the best results?

For the best transcription, try to place your recording device as close to the teacher as possible to minimize background noise. Clear audio leads to more accurate summaries and better-quality flashcards. If you have a syllabus document, upload that too so the AI has more context.

Is there a free trial or plan available?

Duetoday offers a way for students to try out the features and see how the transcription and study tools work for their HSC classes. You can experience the AI tutor and see the value before committing. Check our pricing page for the latest plan details.

Will this help with my specific HSC Exam?

By transcribing your specific HSC classes, you are training the AI on the exact material your examiners expect you to know. This personalized approach is much more effective than using generic study guides because it focuses on your specific teacher's insights and syllabus interpretations.

Duetoday is an AI-powered learning OS that turns your study materials into personalised, bite-sized study guides, cheat sheets, and active learning flows.
