Use Case

ESL & English Class Transcription for Nigerian Teachers and Students

Transcribe ESL and English language class recordings into text for review, revision notes, and progress tracking.

Teaching English as a second language in Nigeria often means switching between English and a student's first language, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, or Pidgin, to explain a grammar point that isn't landing, and neither teacher nor student has time to relisten to a full class recording afterward to find that one explanation again. Autrans transcribes ESL class recordings so students get a written version of the lesson to revise from, and teachers get a clean text record of what was actually covered in each session. AI summaries condense a class into its key teaching points, and the custom vocabulary feature helps the transcript correctly capture recurring English terms or a student's name that a generic transcriber might get wrong. Export to DOCX so students can annotate their copy, or PDF for a clean handout. Recordings are never used to train AI models.

Frequently asked questions

Can it handle a teacher switching to Yoruba or Pidgin to explain something?

Yes, select the language that matches most of the class, and Autrans follows natural code-switching, which is common when explaining English grammar to Nigerian students in their first language.

Will it correctly spell student names and specific vocabulary words?

The custom vocabulary feature lets you add recurring names or terms so the transcript stays consistent, which is useful for classes that repeat the same vocabulary list across sessions.

Can students use this to revise for exams?

Yes, students can read back the full class transcript, use the AI summary to review key points quickly, and jump to specific timestamps to replay an explanation they didn't fully understand.

Is this suitable for one-on-one ESL lessons as well as group classes?

Yes, it works for both. Speaker labels are especially useful in one-on-one lessons for separating the teacher's explanation from the student's practice attempts.
