Why transcribing past paper walkthroughs isn’t enough
Recording a session where a teacher or tutor breaks down a difficult exam paper is a smart move, but a wall of text transcript quickly becomes overwhelming. When you transcribe past paper walkthroughs, you often end up with a messy document filled with verbal fillers, tangents, and a lack of clear structure that makes it hard to find the actual solution steps.
Transcripts don't highlight the specific marks or grading criteria discussed.
Scrolling through a 60-minute transcript to find one math proof is inefficient.
Raw text doesn't help you practice the active recall needed for the actual exam.
Quick win: Use the search function to look for specific keywords like "common mistake" or "mark scheme" to find high-yield exam tips instantly.
Common mistake: Thinking that just reading the transcript is the same as studying; you need to convert that text into active practice.

Yes, Duetoday supports bulk uploads, allowing you to drag and drop multiple recordings of various paper sessions simultaneously. This is ideal for students or teachers who have a whole semester's worth of walkthroughs to process. Each file will be transcribed and organized within your personal learning brain for easy access.
How do I turn the transcript into flashcards?
Once you transcribe past paper walkthroughs, simply click the 'Generate Flashcards' button in the dashboard. Duetoday identifies key concepts and definitions from the audio and creates a deck for you. These cards are designed for active recall and can be used directly within the platform.

How is Duetoday different from a raw transcription tool?
A raw transcription tool only gives you text; Duetoday gives you a learning ecosystem. We convert the text into summaries, flashcards, and interactive Q&A sets.

What are the best tips for higher accuracy?
To get the best results when you transcribe past paper walkthroughs, ensure the recording is done in a quiet room with a clear microphone.
