Why transcribing lesson plans (from audio) isn’t enough
As a teacher, recorded lesson plans are full of gold, but raw text files are often just a giant wall of messy speech. If you simply transcribe lesson plans (from audio), you end up with a document that is hard to navigate and even harder for students to study from.
Raw transcripts lack the hierarchical structure needed for clear instruction.
Vital action items and deadlines often get buried in conversational filler.
Students struggle to find specific concepts without a searchable, organized index.
Quick win: Use a high-quality microphone or your phone's voice memo app close to you to ensure every pedagogical nuance is captured clearly.
Common mistake: Thinking a verbatim transcript is a finished study guide. It lacks the formatting required for long-term retention.

How does the flashcard generation work?
Once you transcribe lesson plans (from audio), Duetoday scans the text for concepts, definitions, and key dates. It then automatically formats these into a flashcard deck ready for study. These cards are built for spaced repetition, helping your students move information from short-term to long-term memory.
