AudioPen helps to turn your spoken thoughts into organized ideas. The concept behind AudioPen is simple: turn on the microphone and start talking without organizing your thoughts or worrying about coherence. After completing a recording, AudioPen processes it and produces a text note with information organized into paragraphs, along with a transcript of your recording. Visit the settings option before starting a recording and adjust the input and output language settings if desired. When finished, copy the text to your clipboard to add to an email or document, or download the audio file to your device. Free accounts offer up to three minutes of recording time per project, with no limit on the number of recordings you can create. Registration isn't required; however, creating an account allows users to save and access a history of recordings.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (215), DAT device agnostic tool (124), multilingual (71), text to speech (18)
In the Classroom
Use AudioPen in several different classroom situations. Share this tool with students to use as an assistant with writing projects. Have students create recordings of what they want to include in their project without having to write or take notes, then use the text to organize their project. AudioPen is also a helpful tool for multilingual students. Adjust the settings to record their thoughts in their native language, then produce an organized set of ideas in English without transcribing from one language to another. Use AudioPen to assist with professional tasks such as organizing teaching units, writing grant proposals, or planning ideas to include with newsletters.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Assessment is one of the most time-intensive and critical aspects of teaching--but artificial intelligence (AI) is changing that equation. In this dynamic workshop, we'll explore how education-focused AI tools can help you design more varied, accessible, and meaningful assessments that support student growth while saving valuable planning time. You'll gain hands-on experience with free, web-based AI resources that generate customized formative checks, rubrics, authentic performance tasks, and differentiated feedback aligned to your specific learning goals. Discover how to thoughtfully integrate these tools into your assessment strategies to meet diverse learner needs, encourage student reflection, and provide more timely guidance. Leave with practical strategies for balancing the efficiency of AI with your professional expertise to create assessment experiences that elevate student agency and engagement. As a result of this session, teachers will: 1. Design AI-enhanced assessments that align with standards while addressing diverse learning needs. 2. Use AI tools to create customized rubrics and feedback to make differentiation more manageable. 3. Develop strategies for thoughtfully integrating AI into assessment practices while maintaining instructional integrity. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.
