AI Prefect

For teachers. Illustration, not a measured result. Not part of the rating. WhisperTranscript turns a recorded lesson, lecture or meeting into editable text with speaker labels and subtitle files, so you can tidy notes or captions rather than type them from scratch. Get consent from everyone on the recording first, and keep pupil names and sensitive detail out, as the site is run by an unnamed company and audio goes to OpenAI in the US.
