Why transcribing lectures isn’t enough
Getting a raw text file of your lecture is only the first step. Most students realize that a 60-minute transcript is just another wall of text that is hard to navigate and even harder to memorize for exams.
Transcripts lack hierarchy, making it difficult to spot the most important exam topics.
Reading a transcript is passive learning, which leads to poor retention and high forgetfulness.
Searching for a specific concept in a 10,000-word document wastes valuable study time.
Quick win: Use Duetoday to instantly highlight keywords within your transcript so you can jump to the most relevant parts of the audio.
Common mistake: Thinking that just having the transcript means you've 'studied' the material. Without synthesis, the info won't stick.
