⏱️ The essentials |
💡 To learn how to generate a module with AI, check out this practical guide.
🧠 When to use these alternatives?
These two options are particularly useful when:
Your content exists in oral or visual form (presentations without speaker notes, internal videos, in-person training…)
You are an expert on the topic but don't have time to write a structured document
You want to quickly test a module on a new subject without any prior editorial work
Option 1: Audio recording
Didask includes an audio recording feature that automatically transcribes your voice into text in the module's Source field.
How to use it ?
From your module, open the content creation window.
Click the Audio recording icon in the Source field.
Record your commentary: explain the topic as if you were training someone live.
Didask automatically transcribes your recording into text.
Review and adjust the transcription if needed, then launch generation.
Typical use cases
Narrating slides: go through your presentation mentally and comment on each slide out loud, you get natural spoken content, rich in concrete examples.
Capturing a video's audio: if you have an internal training video, record its audio track to retrieve the content as a script.
Sharing your expertise: explain the topic as you would to a colleague, the AI takes care of structuring and turning that story into learning granules.
💡 You can edit the transcription before launching generation. It's the right moment to rephrase, add examples, or remove filler words.
Option 2: Asking the AI to draft the source content
If you don't have enough material or want the AI to give you a first draft, you can delegate the writing of the source content to it.
How to use it ?
From the module's Source field, click the magic wand 🪄 icon in the editing toolbar.
In the window that opens, describe precisely what you need: topic, angle, level of detail, desired outline.
The AI generates a text content proposal.
Review and enrich this content before launching granule generation.
⚠️ This option gives the AI more freedom over the content. The more precise your instructions, the more relevant the result. Always go through this intermediate step rather than simply typing "create a module on [topic]" directly in the Source field: this way you stay in control of the content before generation.
💡 Tip: combine both approaches
Nothing stops you from combining audio recording and AI assistance. For example:
Record your expertise out loud → get a raw transcription
Use the magic wand to summarise or reorganise the text
Add examples or common mistakes you know about
Launch generation
