From spoken ideas to written work, with the original kept
A student speaks their own work. StetPro records what was said, keeps the raw transcript as it was captured, and can produce a formatted copy for reading without changing the student’s wording.
The finished document is not the only thing left behind. Depending on how an account or institution is configured, the recording, the raw transcript and the audit entries around them stay attached to the work.
Speak naturally
The student starts a recording and talks through their work in their own words. Nothing is asked of a generator: the ideas and the wording come from the student. As they speak, StetPro builds the raw transcript, which appears live on screen so they can see the work taking shape.
Recording can be paused and resumed, and further sections can be added to a piece of work later. The raw transcript is not edited by hand; if something needs correcting, the student attaches a separate clarification that is labelled as added after recording.
Keep the original
The finished document does not have to stand alone as the only evidence of how the work was produced. Where the workflow and permissions allow it, StetPro retains the material below alongside the work.
The original audio
Held in private storage and opened only through a time-limited link, for people whose permissions allow it.
The raw transcript
Kept as captured. Students do not edit it, so the spoken starting point stays intact.
Audit entries
Events such as finalising an item, adding a clarification, deleting work, or an educator opening a transcript or playing audio.
What is retained, and who can open it, depends on the account and on how an institution has configured access. Not every configuration exposes every part of the record to everybody.
Formatting without rewriting
Speech does not arrive with punctuation. StetPro can produce a formatted copy of the raw transcript that deals with presentation: sentence boundaries, punctuation, capitalisation, paragraphing and a tightly controlled set of spoken artefacts such as false starts and repeated filler.
It is not there to improve the writing. StetPro does not rewrite, paraphrase, restructure the argument, make the language more academic or supply better wording. The student’s words and ideas remain theirs, and the raw transcript stays available beside the formatted copy so the two can be compared.
What formatting handles
- Sentence boundaries and punctuation
- Capitalisation
- Paragraph breaks
- Clearly permitted spoken artefacts
What it does not do
- Rewrite or paraphrase
- Change the argument or its order
- Substitute more academic vocabulary
- Add material the student did not say
See what changed
The raw transcript and the formatted version are stored as separate records, not one replacing the other. In the work view they can be read side by side.
Spoken work
The student says what they want to write.
Raw transcript
Captured as spoken and kept unedited.
Permitted formatting
Punctuation, capitalisation and paragraphing only.
Finished document
Exported to continue elsewhere.
Evidence behind the work
Where an institution has configured access, an authorised educator can review the evidence attached to finalised work: the raw transcript, the formatted version, any clarification the student added, when the work was finalised, and the original audio where that separate permission has been granted.
Access is granted rather than assumed. An educator account starts with no access to student work. An administrator enables review access for a particular educator and chooses which students that educator supports, within the same organisation, and only finalised items appear. Audio is a separate permission again, so transcripts can be reviewable while audio stays unavailable.
Export and continue working
StetPro is not meant to replace the place a student normally writes. Once the work exists, it can be taken onwards as a Word document (.docx), a PDF, plain text (.txt), or copied straight to the clipboard. A student can also download the original audio of their own work.
Exporting does not change what is stored. The raw transcript, the formatted version and the recording stay as they were, so the record remains intact after the document has moved on.
Built around authorship rather than AI detection
Detection tools read a finished document and infer something about how it was produced. StetPro starts at the other end: it keeps material from the process itself, so a reviewer can look at what the student said and how the formatted copy relates to it, rather than at an estimate drawn from the final wording.
This is evidence to consider, not proof. It does not settle a question of authorship on its own, and it is not a judgement about any other tool.
Another route into written work
Speaking is a different way in. It can help anyone who finds typing, spelling, handwriting or simply starting harder than explaining the idea out loud, and it is often just a faster way to get a first version down. There is no separate workflow: the same recording, transcript and formatting steps apply to everyone.
