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.

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.
