Upload and transcribe research meetings to generate summaries, notes, and study tools.
Learn how to transcribe research meetings with Duetoday. Convert audio into searchable transcripts, flashcards, and practice quizzes for better academic retention.
Upload Your Recording
Why transcribing research meetings isn’t enough
Recording your lab syncs or thesis advisor chats is a great start, but a raw text file often becomes a digital graveyard of information. Research meetings are dense, filled with technical jargon, and contain critical action items that are easily lost in a 60-minute transcript.
Finding a specific methodology mention takes forever in a wall of text.
Key deadlines for paper submissions or data collection get buried.
Transcripts don't help you actually memorize the complex concepts discussed.
Quick win: Use your phone to record your research meetings and upload them immediately to avoid losing the context of the discussion.
Common mistake: Thinking a verbatim transcript is a study tool; without structure, it's just more reading material you won't finish.
What you get in Duetoday
Duetoday is a retention-first AI learning workspace. It is designed to be a study system that turns your research audio into actionable knowledge, not just a static record.

How accurate is the transcription for technical research terms?
Duetoday uses advanced AI models that handle complex academic and technical terminology with high precision. While no AI is perfect, our system is designed to recognize context, making it ideal for specialized research meetings. You can also edit any specific terms within the app to perfect your notes.
Can I upload multiple research meeting recordings at once?
Yes, Duetoday supports bulk uploads, allowing you to process several weeks of lab meetings or interviews simultaneously. This creates a unified workspace where information across all sessions is connected. It is perfect for longitudinal studies or semester-long projects.
How do flashcards get generated from my meetings?
Our AI identifies key concepts, definitions, and experimental steps within the transcript. It then automatically formats them into front-and-back flashcard sets. You can use these within Duetoday for active recall practice to help you remember specific methodology details.
Can Duetoday handle diverse file types for research?
Absolutely. You can upload standard audio formats like MP3 and WAV, video recordings from Zoom or Teams, and even add supplementary PDFs or YouTube links. Everything is centralized in one AI brain, allowing you to query across multiple different source types.

How does this differ from a standard transcription service?
Standard services just give you a text file, which is often hard to navigate. Duetoday is a learning workspace that converts that text into actionable study tools like summaries, mindmaps, and task lists. We focus on helping you recall and apply the information, not just read it.
Can I share the generated notes with my supervisor?
Yes, you can easily export or share the transcripts and summaries generated from your research meetings. This makes it simple to keep your PI or academic advisor updated on your progress and findings. It ensures that everyone has a clear record of the decisions made during the meeting.
What are the best tips for getting high-quality transcripts?
To get the best results when you transcribe research meetings, try to record in a quiet environment and place the recorder close to the person speaking. If it is a virtual meeting, use a direct audio capture. The clearer the audio, the better the AI can identify technical jargon and speaker changes.
