Students appreciate the reader&#8217;s eye view. There is no reason not to combine audio and written feedback &#8211; each have different strengths. Automated transcripts can be produced using voice recognition software, and transcripts retain many of the advantages of audio feedback.

The evaluation found that 91% agreed they received more feedback than when written, all felt it provided greater depth, 66% agreed it gave them a better understanding of their performance. Students commented on how the tone of voice made it easier for them to understand the meaning of the feedback compared to written\u00a0feedback. Several noted how it was easier to decipher than some handwritten feedback. An average of 70 written words of feedback for each returned script compared to approximately 525 words in 3 minutes 25 seconds.
