Why transcribing IB classes isn’t enough
The International Baccalaureate curriculum is notoriously dense. Simply having a wall of text from a lecture won't help you during the May or November exam sessions. When you transcribe IB classes, the goal isn't just to record words; it's to organize complex theories, case studies, and experimental data into something you can actually use for revision.
Information Overload: A 60-minute Higher Level (HL) lecture can result in over 8,000 words that are impossible to skim manually.
Lack of Structure: Raw transcripts don't highlight the links between Paper 1 and Paper 2 requirements.
Zero Interactivity: You can't test your knowledge against a static document, which is vital for the active recall needed in IB.
Quick win: Use transcripts to find specific keywords mentioned by your teacher that often appear in mark schemes.
Common mistake: Thinking a verbatim transcript is a finished study guide. Without synthesis, it’s just more reading material.
What you get in Duetoday
Duetoday is a retention-first AI learning workspace. It goes beyond basic text by turning your IB recordings into a complete study system that connects your notes, PDFs, and calendar in one place.
Searchable Transcript
Stop scrolling through hours of audio to find that one explanation of the ripple effect in Economics or the Krebs cycle in Biology. Our searchable transcripts let you jump to the exact moment a concept was explained.
Best for: Locating specific teacher instructions for IA (Internal Assessment) criteria.
Best for: Verifying complex quotes for English A: Literature essays.
Smart Summary
Duetoday distills long-winded lectures into concise, high-level summaries. It filters out the caffeine-fueled tangents and focuses on the core syllabus points you need for your exams.
Best for: Quick pre-exam review of Theory of Knowledge (TOK) discussions.
Best for: Getting the gist of a missed class from a peer's recording.
Study Guide
Turn your transcribed IB classes into structured study guides. The AI organizes the content into logical headings and subheadings that mirror the IB syllabus structure.
Best for: Creating comprehensive revision folders for History Paper 3.
Best for: Organizing Chemistry formulas and lab procedures in one view.
Flashcards (Spaced Repetition)
Duetoday automatically generates flashcards from your transcriptions. These are designed for active recall, helping you memorize definitions and dates without manual entry.
Best for: Mastering the specific terminology required for the Biology mark scheme.
Best for: Memorizing case study facts for Geography or Business Management.
Practice Quiz (Active Recall)
Test your understanding immediately after class. Use your transcribed content to generate quizzes that challenge your grasp of the material before you move on to the next topic.
Best for: Identifying gaps in your understanding of Physics HL concepts.
Best for: Simulating short-answer questions for Psychology exams.
Key Questions / Action Items
Each time you transcribe IB classes, Duetoday extracts key questions and action items. This creates a clear checklist of what to research further or what to ask your teacher in the next session.
Best for: Keeping track of IA deadlines mentioned during class.
Best for: Ensuring all criteria for a CAS project update have been met.
Quick win: Generate flashcards immediately after transcribing while the context is fresh in your mind.
Common mistake: Forgetting to check the 'Action Items' section, which often contains crucial homework or IA guidance.
How it works
Record and Upload: Record your IB lecture on any device and upload the audio or video file directly to Duetoday.
AI Processing: Our AI brain analyzes the content, transcribing every word and identifying key syllabus points.
Study System Generation: Within seconds, Duetoday builds your summaries, flashcards, and quizzes automatically.
Checklist before you upload
Ensure the audio quality is clear and the teacher's voice is audible.
Label your files by subject and topic (e.g., "Math AI-HL Probability").
Group related recordings together in one Duetoday workspace.
Upload any accompanying lecture slides or PDFs for better context.
Quick win: If your teacher uses a microphone, try to sit closer to the speaker for crystal clear transcription.
Common mistake: Uploading multiple hours of audio without labeling them, making it harder for your 'AI Brain' to organize them later.

Once uploaded, the AI organizes them within your unified content library, making it easy to search across different subjects. This is ideal for catching up during half-term or preparing for mock exams.
How does Duetoday turn my IB transcripts into flashcards?
Our AI identifies key definitions, dates, and concepts within your transcript and suggests flashcards for you. You can review these suggestions and add them to your collection instantly. These flashcards are built for active recall, which is the most effective way to prepare for the rigorous IB assessment style.

Absolutely. Duetoday can generate multiple-choice or short-answer questions based directly on the lecture content. This helps you verify that you’ve understood the specific nuances your teacher highlighted, which are often the keys to scoring a 7.
What file types can I upload for transcription?
Duetoday supports all standard audio and video formats, including MP3, WAV, and MP4. You can also import YouTube links if your school records lectures and posts them online, or integrate with Notion to pull in existing notes.
Can teachers use Duetoday to share study materials with IB students?
Yes, teachers can transcribe their own lectures and use the generated summaries and study guides as handouts for their students. It’s a great way to ensure that all students, including those with different learning needs, have access to high-quality, structured notes.
