Who should own speech recordings after launch?
A language school’s teachers and admins need clear rules for who records, stores, and updates student pronunciation work in Livo Pronunciation Assessment.
Livo Pronunciation Assessment lets students record their English pronunciation and get instant feedback. But after launch, no one on your team may know who should handle the actual speech recordings. Should teachers manage their own students’ recordings? Or should admins control all submissions to keep things organized? Without clear rules, recordings could get lost, mixed up, or even deleted by accident. Explore Livo Pronunciation Assessment
The app itself only records and stores speech files when a student submits a practice session. It doesn’t yet assign ownership or set access rules for who can view, edit, or delete those recordings. That means your team will need to decide upfront: Who gets to record new practice? Who reviews or updates old recordings? And who has the final say if something goes wrong?
Step 1: Decide who records new practice
Teachers might want to record students directly during class. But if students practice at home, they’ll need their own way to submit recordings. The app lets students record themselves, but it doesn’t yet lock recordings to specific teachers or classes. That could cause confusion if multiple teachers need to check the same student’s progress over time.
For example, if a student records a speech at home and submits it, should it go to their main teacher—or to whoever is reviewing pronunciation that week? Without clear ownership, recordings might pile up in the wrong place, making it hard to track improvements.
Who should own the recording files?
The app stores recordings as digital files, but it doesn’t yet let you tag them by teacher, class, or student group. That means if you want to back up or share recordings later, you’ll need a separate system—or a way to organize them manually. For instance, a teacher might want to keep all their students’ recordings in one folder, while admins need access to everything for reports.
Step 2: Set access rules for reviews and updates
Right now, the app doesn’t restrict who can see or edit recordings. That could be a problem if sensitive feedback or personal notes are left in the system. For example, a teacher might add private comments about a student’s struggles. If admins or other teachers can see those notes by accident, it might cause trust issues.
You’ll need to decide: Should teachers only see their own students’ recordings? Should admins have full access to review all submissions? Or should recordings be locked until a student graduates? Without these rules in place, someone might accidentally change or delete a recording meant for a specific teacher.
What happens if a recording gets lost or corrupted?
The app doesn’t yet have built-in backups or alerts for missing recordings. If a student’s practice session disappears, there’s no automatic way to flag it. That means your team will need to set up a manual check—like a weekly review—to make sure no recordings are gone. Without this, a student might resubmit the same work without realizing their progress wasn’t saved.
Step 3: Plan who follows up on updates
After a student submits a recording, someone needs to listen and give feedback. But the app doesn’t yet assign follow-up tasks to specific people. For example, if a teacher marks a recording as ‘needs improvement,’ should the app remind them to check it again in a week? Or should admins handle all follow-ups to keep things fair? Without clear ownership, important recordings might slip through the cracks.
This is where a similar project could help. TechiesAIE can build a system that automatically routes recordings to the right teacher, sets reminders for follow-ups, and even locks recordings until feedback is given. For example, a learning platform could add rules like: ‘Only Teacher A can edit Student X’s recordings until June 30.’ Explore TechiesAIE learning services
What’s missing in the current demo?
The demo shows speech recording and basic feedback, but it doesn’t include access controls, backup rules, or automated follow-ups. That means your team would need to add these features after launch—or risk losing control over who sees, edits, or deletes recordings. For instance, a custom product could include options like: ‘Hide recordings until graded’ or ‘Send email alerts when a new submission arrives.’
Another gap is integration with your existing tools. Right now, recordings live only in the app. If you use Google Classroom or a student portal, you’d need to manually copy feedback or links. A similar project could sync recordings with your other systems so teachers don’t have to switch between apps to see a student’s full progress.
Who should you talk to about this?
If you’re unsure who should own recordings, access, or follow-ups, start by asking: *Which team members actually listen to or grade these recordings? *Who needs to see the recordings for reports or backups? *What happens if a recording is accidentally deleted or changed? The answers will help you set up rules before launch—and avoid headaches later.
For example, a language school might decide: Teachers own their students’ recordings, but admins can view all submissions for audits. A similar project could then build these rules into the app so no one has to guess who’s responsible. Discuss your ownership needs for a pronunciation tool to explore how to handle recordings, access, and follow-ups upfront.
