Loro for teachers: dictate feedback, messages to families and meeting minutes

What teachers write the most

• Feedback on homework, essays and tests.
• Messages to families, on WhatsApp or by email.
• The week's lesson plan and each activity's instructions.
• Minutes of parent meetings and staff meetings.
• Progress reports.

You talk about three times faster than you type. Over a school week, that's real time.

How Loro helps, with examples

Homework feedback

Put the cursor in the student's document, hold Ctrl + Win and say: "um, great essay Sofia, uh, check the conclusion because it needs a concrete example". Loro types: "Great essay, Sofia. Check the conclusion: it needs a concrete example.".

Messages to families

In WhatsApp or your email, you say: "good afternoon families, um, a reminder that Friday is the museum trip, uh, and I need the signed permission slip by Tuesday". Loro types: "Good afternoon, families. A reminder that Friday is the museum trip, and I need the signed permission slip by Tuesday.".

Lesson plans

Dictate in Word or Google Docs what you'll do each day, the way you'd tell a colleague. With Loro Pro you can select it all, hold Ctrl + Win and ask "turn this into bullets by day" or "make it more formal".

Meetings and minutes

• Online (Meet, Zoom, Teams or WhatsApp): Loro listens without adding a bot and, when you hang up, gives you the topics, the agreements and each person's next steps.
• In person: afterwards, open the minutes and dictate them. Here's a parent meeting minutes template to copy.

Your data and your students'

• Your voice is not stored. Online, it's turned into text in the cloud and the recording is deleted right away.
• If you'd rather nothing leaves your computer, pick "On your computer" in Settings. Offline, everything happens on your computer.
• Your dictation text is kept for 30 days to improve Loro; you can turn that off and delete it in Settings › Privacy.
• If your school has rules about student data, follow them: pick "On your computer" and turn off the copy of your notes in your account.

What it costs

• Free: 2,000 dictation words a week and unlimited meeting notes (you see the last 30 days). No card needed.
• Pro: unlimited dictation and your whole history, for USD 9.99 a month or USD 80 a year.
• For your school: the same Pro price, per person.

Does it work in Google Classroom or my school's platform?›
