Why transcribing MCAT classes isn’t enough

Many students think having a word-for-word record of their MCAT prep is the key to a high score. In reality, a raw transcript of a 3-hour Organic Chemistry or CARS strategy session is just more noise. You don't need a wall of text; you need to find the high-yield concepts quickly without re-watching hours of video.

If you only transcribe MCAT classes without a system to process them, you face three major hurdles:

  • Information Overload: Sifting through thousands of words to find one specific enzyme pathway is a waste of study time.

  • Passive Learning: Reading a transcript is passive. Without active recall, the complex physiological processes won't stick in your long-term memory.

  • Disconnected Data: Your lecture notes exist separately from your practice questions and flashcards, making it harder to connect related concepts across biology and physics.

Quick win: Use the search function in your transcript to jump directly to specific keywords like "Le Châtelier's principle" or "Action Potential" to save 20 minutes of scrubbing through audio.

Common mistake: Spending hours manually formatting a transcript into a Word doc instead of letting AI generate structured study blocks immediately.

What you get in Duetoday

Duetoday is a retention-first workspace designed to turn your audio into a complete learning brain. It’s not just about converting speech to text; it is about building a study system that helps you recall information under pressure.

Searchable transcript

Get a high-accuracy, time-stamped text version of your entire MCAT lecture. You can click any sentence to play the corresponding audio, making it easy to clarify complex points from your instructor.

Example: Search for "Michaelis-Menten" and immediately see every time the instructor explained Vmax and Km.

  • Best for: Finding specific instructor explanations.

  • Best for: Verifying complex diagrams mentioned in class.

Smart summary

Our AI analyzes the transcript of your MCAT classes to extract the most important information, discarding the fluff and off-topic tangents that often happen in live prep sessions.

Example: A 2-hour lecture on Renal Physiology condensed into a 5-minute read of core mechanisms.

  • Best for: Pre-exam reviews.

  • Best for: Identifying high-yield content quickly.

Study guide

Duetoday automatically organizes the concepts from your lecture into a structured study guide. It connects your classes with other uploaded PDFs or Notion notes to give you a bird’s-eye view of the subject.

Example: A cohesive guide that links your Biochemistry lecture notes with your textbook chapters on Amino Acids.

  • Best for: Building a comprehensive review binder.

  • Best for: Understanding the hierarchy of complex topics.

Flashcards (spaced repetition)

Don't just read; memorize. Duetoday generates flashcards directly from your MCAT class transcripts so you can practice active recall every single day.

Example: Automatically generated cards for the steps of Glycolysis or Citric Acid Cycle enzymes.

  • Best for: Memorizing equations and vocabulary.

  • Best for: Long-term retention using spaced repetition.

Practice quiz (active recall)

Test your understanding before the actual MCAT. Our AI creates practice questions based on the specific content covered in your recorded classes.

Example: A 10-question quiz on Electrolyte Balance generated from your last Biology prep session.

  • Best for: Identifying knowledge gaps.

  • Best for: Simulating exam-day pressure.

Key questions / action items

Identify the core questions your instructor posed during the session and the specific tasks you need to complete to master the material.

Example: A checklist of practice problems to solve or specific chapters to cross-reference after class.

  • Best for: Staying organized during a busy prep season.

  • Best for: Ensuring no "must-know" topic is missed.

Quick win: Generate your flashcards immediately after you transcribe MCAT classes while the context is fresh in your mind.

Common mistake: Ignoring the practice quiz feature. Testing yourself is 3x more effective than re-reading the transcript.

How it works

  1. Upload: Record your MCAT class on your phone or computer and upload the file to Duetoday. We support audio, video, and even YouTube links.

  2. Process: Our AI will transcribe MCAT classes in minutes, automatically generating a structured summary, flashcards, and a practice quiz.

  3. Master: Use the chat-based AI tutor to ask questions about the lecture or use the study tools to memorize the hardest concepts.

Checklist before you upload

  • Check that the audio file is clear and audible.

  • Label your file with the subject and date (e.g., "MCAT-Orgo-Oct5").

  • Ensure you have any accompanying PDFs or slides ready to upload for extra context.

  • Decide which study output (Flashcards vs. Summary) you need most for your next session.

Quick win: If your teacher uses a whiteboard, take photos and upload them as PDFs alongside your audio for a complete context loop.

Common mistake: Waiting a week to upload. Transcribe your classes within 24 hours to reinforce memory while the visuals are still fresh.
