Turboscribe can be used (with ChatGPT) to create quizzes on an audio or video file

Subtitles

Turboscribe can be used to get a transcript of any audio or video file using a free account as long as it is less than 30 minutes long. There is a limit of three transcriptions every 24 hours.The transcript can be exported as an .srt file which means it can be used to add subtitles to a video on Youtube. As Turboscribe (and Clipchamp) are better at making transcripts than Youtube and in both cases any mistakes can be edited out quite easily, there is a lot to be said for uploading these .srt files to your videos on YouTube.

Quizzes

Personally, I am not a fan of comprehension questions as I prefer getting students to do the much more demanding task of retelling the story, but many teachers DO want comprehension questions - I only used them a week later as a test of memory or a scaffold for one student to retell the story to someone who had missed the previous week's class.

But because Turboscribe has a way of linking the transcript of a recording to ChatGPT by selecting ChatGPT from the menu and then selecting Custom Prompt, it can be used to create multiple-choice comprehension questions.

The Custom Prompt I used was, "Can you make five multiple-choice questions about this story? Give the ansers at the end of the quiz"

Here they are:

1. What happened at the start of the story?
a) Hannah saw Jamie at the theatre
b) Hannah nearly hit a man with her car
c) Jamie called Hannah
d) Hannah stopped to buy coffee

2. What did Hannah do after stopping the car?
a) She called for help
b) She stayed in the car
c) She got out and spoke to the man
d) She drove away

3. Where did Hannah and Jamie go together?
a) To the theatre
b) To a park
c) To a coffee bar
d) To Hannah’s house

4. Why was Jamie in the street?
a) He was going home
b) He was buying theatre tickets
c) He was meeting friends
d) He was looking for Hannah

5. How did Hannah feel when she heard about the tickets?
a) She was angry
b) She was surprised and happy
c) She was bored
d) She was worried

To be able to answer the questions you could either listen to how Carla retold the story (top), or you could listen to the version corrected by ChatGPT (below).
