The real problem
Having a transcript
doesn't mean you understand it.
Otter captures what was said. But after a 90-minute lecture you have 8,000 words of text — and zero study tools to do anything with it. You still have to re-read, summarise, make notes, and create study materials yourself.
Duetoday automates the rest. The moment your lecture ends, you have a complete study pack: key concepts extracted, flashcards generated, a practice quiz ready to go, and an AI tutor that knows exactly what was covered.
Not just lectures
PDFs, YouTube, notes —
all your content, one place.
Otter is built for meeting transcription. Duetoday is built for everything students actually deal with — lectures, readings, YouTube tutorials, textbook PDFs, and their own handwritten notes.
Whatever you're learning from, Duetoday can digest it and turn it into a study system that helps you actually remember it.
