Why transcribing marking / grading voice notes isn’t enough
Recording voice feedback for students is a massive time-saver for teachers, but simply having a raw transcript of those marking / grading voice notes often leads to a disorganized mess of text that neither you nor your students can effectively use.
Raw transcripts lack structure, making it hard to find specific grading criteria or feedback points.
Students struggle to turn a long stream of consciousness into actionable improvements.
Critical administrative data, like final marks or recurring errors, get buried in paragraphs of text.
Quick win: Use a high-quality microphone or a quiet room to ensure the AI captures subtle nuances in your feedback across different student files.
Common mistake: Thinking a transcript is the final step; without summarization, students often ignore long text blocks of grading feedback.

How accurate is the transcription for marking / grading voice notes?
Duetoday uses advanced AI models that specialize in educational terminology and diverse accents.

To ensure the best results, try to minimize background noise during your recording session.

You can drag and drop multiple files, and the system will organize them into individual transcripts and study materials instantly.
How does it turn my feedback into flashcards?
Once you transcribe marking / grading voice notes, Duetoday's AI analyzes the text for key concepts, definitions, or frequent errors you mentioned.
