A practical first workflow
Make a checked text companion to a mini-lesson
Have this ready
Record a short explanation yourself in a quiet setting, with no student voices or private information.
- Save your recording in a supported audio or video format.
- Choose Import in Otter and select the recording; wait for processing to finish.
- Read the transcript while replaying the recording and correct subject terms, names, and missing words.
- Inspect the generated summary or outline and remove claims that were not actually spoken.
- Share the reviewed text alongside the original recording through your approved course channel.
You’ll have: A corrected transcript plus a concise outline that accurately represents the recording.
Try this example
Use this sample prompt or task input as a starting point. Adapt the subject and level to your learners.
A three-minute teacher explanation of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, with each scientific term spoken clearly.
Check your result before sharing
Pay particular attention to negation, numbers, and specialist vocabulary; check reading order and learner access needs.
Use recordings you have permission to process, check upload allowances, and correct transcription errors before sharing.
Other activities to explore
- Create a corrected transcript of a teacher-recorded mini-lesson.

This workflow is an editorial suggestion based on documentation, not a hands-on test or a claim of learning gains. Check school approval, current pricing, and student account eligibility before a classroom rollout. Use public or permitted samples and keep identifiable student information out of unapproved services.
