Transcribe TAFE class recordings theory nights turned into study notes.
A TAFE class in Australia often runs 2 to 3 hours, and a 3-hour recording made with the teacher's permission comes back as text in about 6 minutes, with the first 20 minutes free. A 10-week term of 3-hour classes is 1,800 minutes, which fits the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes with 200 left; prices are in US dollars.
For apprentices and vocational students
The theory from a long night class, written down so you can study it after work.
Record with permission
Ask your teacher before recording, and record only what the class allows. A phone on the desk is enough for a theory session; if your teacher shares a recording through the learning platform and allows downloads, use that file.
Assessment details in one list
Due dates, what an assessment asks for and the steps a practical task must show are pulled into a list beside the transcript. You check the requirement against the teacher's words, not a half-written note. Ask the chat what the teacher said about resubmission or a deadline, and it answers with the minute it was said.
Chapters for each topic
A three-hour session might move from safety to theory to a worked example and then the assessment briefing. Each becomes a chapter with its start time, which turns a long recording into a set of study notes.
Long files welcome
A whole evening class goes in as one file, up to 10 hours or 5 GB. Audio from a phone is small; video of a demonstration goes up from the upload page and fits the 2 GB limit that applies before your first pack.
Why class recordings go unused
You recorded it to study later, and later never had three spare hours.
✗ A recording, not notes
Many TAFE students work during the day and study at night. A three-hour recording is useful in theory and almost impossible to use in the week before an assessment. Students for whom English is a second language lose the most, because a fast verbal explanation is hard to catch once and impossible to look up.
- Three hours of audio per class
- Notes that miss the assessment steps
- Trade terms you cannot spell
- No way back to one explanation
- Hour caps on phone apps
- Study time spent replaying
✓ Notes built from the class
The class comes back as text with chapters and a brief of the key points. Before an assessment, search the term's classes for the requirement and read the teacher's exact explanation. Students who learn better by reading can go over a session at their own pace, and look up any word they did not catch in class.
- About 6 minutes per 3-hour class
- Chapters you can study from
- Your teacher named in the summary
- Due dates and steps listed
- Chat that finds the teacher's explanation
- DOCX or TXT for your notes

FAQ
TAFE class recordings, the common questions.
How long does a 3-hour TAFE class take to transcribe?
About 6 minutes, because an hour of audio takes roughly 2. A 2-hour class takes about 4.
What does a TAFE term of classes cost?
Ten 3-hour classes are 1,800 minutes, inside the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes. One class of up to 500 minutes fits the $6 pack. Credits never expire, so leftover minutes carry into next term.
Can I record my TAFE class?
Only with your teacher's permission and within your institute's rules. Where recordings are provided and downloads are allowed, use those; otherwise ask before recording.
How big can my class recording be?
Up to 10 hours or 5 GB per file; before your first pack, up to 2 GB. An audio file of a 3-hour class is well under that. A recording over 2 GB starts as soon as a pack is on your account.
My teacher has a strong accent, or the class is in another language. Does it work?
Accents are transcribed as spoken, and 99 languages are detected automatically. Workshop noise from tools and machines is not transcribed; the speech is. If English is your second language, the transcript lets you read an explanation as many times as you need.
What can I export, and is my class recording private?
TXT and DOCX for notes, SRT and VTT for captions, JSON for other tools. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and you can delete a class recording whenever you choose.
