In Singapore, there’s a teacher named Lily Yang, who works at an education training center specializing in cultivating students’ interests in literature, arts, and even gardening. In a competitive environment filled with similar training institutions, Lily has managed to achieve a remarkable feat—Her student retention rate is twice as high as that of her competitors, all while avoiding the need to engage in a price war. So, what’s her secret?

Industry Challenge: The “Communication Gap” Between Students, Parents, and Teachers

A common challenge in the education and training industry is this: the clients attending the classes are not the ones paying for them. While the students taking the lessons are around ten years old, the ones footing the bill are their parents. This separation leads to a disconnect between the three parties:

• Parents are unaware of what their children are learning in class and can’t evaluate the quality of the lessons.

• Teachers struggle to demonstrate the value of their efforts to the parents.

• Students find it hard to clearly explain to their parents what they’ve learned, often resorting to vague feedback like, “The class was good,” or “The teacher is great.”

This information gap makes it difficult for parents to judge whether renewing their child’s enrollment is worth it, resulting in low retention rates for many institutions.

Lily Yang’s Solution: Using Speech-to-Text Tools to Bridge the Gap

To address this issue, Lily came up with a simple yet effective strategy: recording each class, transcribing the audio into class notes, and sharing them with students and parents. Lily is a user of VOMO AI, a free speech-to-text tool that made this process seamless.

By implementing this small change, Lily successfully connected students, parents, and herself as the teacher, allowing everyone to benefit:

•Students: They can review the class content anytime, complete with recordings, summaries, and key takeaways.

•Parents: They gain a clear understanding of their child’s progress and the core content of each class.

•Teachers: Lily can demonstrate the value of her lessons, earning trust and appreciation from parents, which directly translates into higher retention rates.

3 Simple Steps to Share Class Notes

Step 1: Record the Class Content

For every class, Lily records the session using her smartphone or a voice recorder. Previously, she used a standalone recording device or the default recording app on her iPhone. Nowadays, she’s accustomed to using VOMO AI directly, simply tapping to start recording.

Step 2: Transcribe the Audio with VOMO AI

After each class, Lily uploads the recording to VOMO AI through either her phone or the web version. Within minutes, VOMO AI generates an accurate transcript with timestamps, speaker identification, and a Smart Notes summary.

This Smart Notes is refined by AI and already highly comprehensive. If Lily wants to enhance the notes with additional course content, she can simply use the “Ask AI” button located in the bottom left corner. For example, she might ask, “Summarize the section where we discussed Shakespeare today,” and the AI will generate an accurate summary based on the class recording. With just one click on the “Add” button, the refined content can be seamlessly integrated into the Smart Notes.

Step 3: Review and Share

Lily reviews the generated notes and, if necessary, refines them by asking VOMO to adjust professional terms or clarify specific points. Once satisfied, she shares the Smart Notes with students and parents via a simple link. Sometimes, she even adds tips or personalized remarks in the notes, which parents appreciate and occasionally respond to with feedback.

The Results: A Win-Win-Win for Everyone

Since adopting VOMO AI, Lily has received numerous positive responses from parents:

• Some parents mentioned that they finally know what their children are learning in class and can even discuss literary topics with them at home.

• Students, equipped with detailed class notes, are now able to review and absorb the material more effectively, boosting their interest in learning.

• For Lily, the biggest benefit is that her hard work is recognized, and parents are more willing to continue enrolling their children, significantly increasing her retention rate.

This small yet impactful innovation, powered by AI, has not only bridged the communication gap between students, parents, and teachers but also greatly enhanced parents’ trust in her courses.
