Why transcribing lab sessions isn’t enough
In the heat of an experiment, a raw transcript is just a wall of text. You need to capture the precise variables, observations, and procedural steps that lead to a successful lab report. Transcribing lab sessions manually wastes hours that could be spent analyzing results or studying for the next practical.
Audio recordings are often cluttered with background noise, making key instructions hard to find.
Linear transcripts don't highlight the specific relationships between reagents and reactions.
Static text doesn't help you prepare for the active recall needed during lab-based exams.
Quick win: Record your verbal observations during the experiment to ensure the AI captures your immediate thoughts for the final report.
Common mistake: Waiting until the end of the week to review records. Real-time capture prevents data loss.
What you get in Duetoday
Duetoday is a comprehensive retention-first learning workspace. It is designed to be a study system that turns your raw audio into a high-functioning lab brain, not just a plain transcript.
Searchable transcript
Instantly search through your recordings for specific keywords or experimental variables. No more scrubbing through audio to find the exact moment the professor mentioned a safety protocol.
Best for: Locating specific numerical data and verifying exact procedure steps.
Smart summary
Our AI digests the lab session and creates a high-level overview. It separates the clutter of the room from the actual scientific takeaways you need for your lab notebook.
Best for: Getting a bird's-eye view of a multi-hour session and identifying key objectives.
Study guide
Convert your lab discussion into a structured guide. It organizes the theory behind the experiment alongside your practical observations, connecting the 'how' with the 'why'.
Best for: Reviewing the underlying principles before writing your discussion section.
Flashcards (spaced repetition)
Duetoday automatically generates flashcards from your lab terminology and definitions. This ensures you master the vocabulary and equipment names through spaced repetition.
Best for: Memorizing chemical names, biological processes, or physics formulas used in the lab.
Practice quiz (active recall)
Test your understanding of the lab session before you submit your work. Duetoday creates quizzes based on the experimental outcomes and potential sources of error mentioned.
Best for: Preparing for lab practicals and ensuring you understand the 'what if' scenarios.
Key questions / action items
Never miss a lab report deadline or a follow-up calculation. Duetoday identifies action items and questions that were raised during the session so you can address them immediately.
Best for: Managing lab report requirements and tracking missing data points.
Quick win: Use the action items list to check off each part of your lab report as you write it.
Common mistake: Treating the transcript as a final document; use the generated flashcards to internalize the lab's concepts.
How it works
Upload your recording: Simply upload your lab session audio or a video recording (like a Zoom tutorial or phone memo) to the Duetoday workspace.
Analyze and Connect: Duetoday transcribes the session and connects it with your other materials, like lab manuals (PDFs) or background websites.
Study and Recall: Access your automated summaries, flashcards, and quizzes to start mastering the material instantly.
Checklist before you upload
Ensure the audio clearly captures the instructor's instructions.
Include a mention of the specific lab number or topic for better organization.
Upload related PDFs or lab manuals to provide context for the AI.
Verify that your recording device is placed near the speaker or workstation.
Quick win: Upload your lab manual PDF alongside the audio for the most accurate transcription of scientific terms.
Common mistake: Forgetting to mention the date or lab title during the recording, which helps in future searchability.

How accurate is the transcription for scientific terms?
Duetoday utilizes advanced AI models that are highly capable of recognizing technical jargon and scientific terminology commonly used in lab sessions. By providing context through uploaded manuals or PDFs, the accuracy becomes even more precise. You can always review and edit the transcript if a highly specific compound name needs adjustment.
Can I upload multiple lab recordings at once?
Yes, Duetoday supports bulk uploads, allowing you to process several lab sessions or lectures simultaneously. This is ideal for catching up on a week's worth of practicals or organizing an entire semester's data. Each recording is organized within your unified content library for easy access.
How does the flashcard generation work?
Once you transcribe lab sessions, Duetoday identifies key concepts, definitions, and procedures to automatically create flashcard sets. These sets are designed for active recall and spaced repetition, helping you memorize lab protocols and safety standards quickly. You can customize them or add your own notes at any time.
Does Duetoday create quizzes from my lab data?
Absolutely. Duetoday generates practice quizzes based on the transcript of your lab session to test your comprehension of the experimental results and theories. This feature helps you identify knowledge gaps before you sit for a practical exam or write a formal report.
What file types can I upload for lab sessions?
Duetoday supports a wide range of audio and video formats for transcription, as well as PDF uploads for supplementary lab manuals and research papers. You can also import links from YouTube if your professor provides video demonstrations or tutorials.
Can teachers use this to share notes with students?
Teachers can certainly transcribe their lab demonstrations or lectures to provide students with structured notes and summaries. While sharing is generic, the generated outputs serve as a great foundation for creating collaborative study guides or standardized lab checklists.
How is Duetoday different from a raw transcription tool?
Unlike simple transcription apps, Duetoday is a retention-first learning workspace. It doesn't just give you text; it creates a study ecosystem with summaries, flashcards, and an AI tutor that knows your lab material. It connects your audio to your PDFs and notes for a holistic learning experience.
What are the best tips for high-quality lab transcripts?
For the best results, place your recording device away from loud machinery like centrifuges or fans. If possible, narrate your steps clearly as you perform them. Uploading the course syllabus or lab manual alongside the audio gives the AI the context it needs to be 100% accurate.
Is there a cost to use Duetoday for lab sessions?
Duetoday offers various plans tailored to student and professional needs. You can typically start with a free trial or entry-level tier to explore the transcription and study tools. Professional tiers offer higher limits for bulk uploads and advanced AI features.
Will my scientific data stay private?
Duetoday prioritizes user privacy and data security. Your uploaded lab recordings and generated study materials are kept within your personal workspace, ensuring your research and observations remain yours. We do not use your private data to train public models.
Duetoday is an AI-powered learning OS that turns your study materials into personalised, bite-sized study guides, cheat sheets, and active learning flows.
