Key Differences:

-Purpose & Focus: EdPuzzle is built for general classroom use, letting teachers add quizzes and notes to videos. The Mimir is specifically designed for language learning, with a focus on developing speaking skills, not just comprehension.

-Integrated Skill Development: EdPuzzle centers around passive video engagement. The Mimir combines watching, reading, vocabulary, grammar, and speaking, all within a personalized, AI-supported framework.

-Speaking Practice & Community Interaction: EdPuzzle has no built-in tools for speaking or real-time language use. The Mimir enables live peer discussions, debates, and one-on-one coaching, creating real-world speaking opportunities in a supportive environment.

-Customization for Language Teachers: With EdPuzzle, customization is limited to video edits. On The Mimir, teachers can upload their own videos, readings, and create full lesson sequences that align with curriculum goals.

-AI-Powered Personalization: The Mimir uses AI to recommend leveled content and adapt learning paths based on individual progress — something EdPuzzle doesn’t offer.

In short, EdPuzzle enhances video comprehension, while The Mimir builds communicative proficiency across all language domains — especially speaking — in a deeply personalized and collaborative way.

Key Differentiators:

-Full-Spectrum Language Learning vs. Text Simplification: Diffit AI specializes in adjusting the reading level of existing texts for classroom use. The Mimir provides a complete language learning experience — including video-based lessons, AI-generated vocabulary and grammar support, interactive reading, and real-time speaking practice.

-Speaking and Conversation Practice: Diffit does not support spoken language development. The Mimir is speech-centric, offering learners opportunities to engage in structured speaking activities, debates, and peer discussions, with real-time feedback.

-Personalized Learning Paths: Diffit simplifies materials for general differentiation. The Mimir uses AI (like RAG models) to deliver level-appropriate content across media types, dynamically adjusting based on a user’s progress, interests, and skill gaps.

-Teacher Customization Across Modalities: Diffit focuses on texts. Mimir lets teachers customize videos, readings, and speaking tasks, and even co-develop full units aligned to their curriculum with the support of a Language Director.

-Community and Peer Engagement: Diffit is primarily a teacher tool for individual content adaptation. The Mimir builds a learning community, encouraging learners to collaborate, speak, and grow together — a key to achieving real-world language fluency.

In short, Diffit helps you differentiate text. The Mimir helps learners truly communicate — by integrating reading, watching, and speaking into one powerful, personalized system.

1. Publish their custom videos, readings, and speaking activities for others to use.
2. Access a growing library of peer-created resources, alongside Mimir’s AI-generated and expert-reviewed content.

2. Teacher and Admin Controls
Teachers can join, observe, or replay conversations as needed. They have the ability to restrict speaking features to certain students, assign roles, or remove access if expectations aren’t met.

2. Assessment Creation & Integration
Teachers can embed formative and summative assessments using built-in tools (quizzes, flip-cards, customized worksheets etc).

3. Recycling & Spiraling Content
Content can be recycled across units, with vocabulary and grammar elements automatically tagged and reused in new contexts.

4. Teacher Collaboration with Curriculum Designers
Teachers can work directly with our Language Director to co-create units that align with their school’s goals or standards.
We also provide sample units and templates to guide planning, especially for teachers new to proficiency-based instruction.

5. Customizable Pathways
Units can be personalized based on student level, class pace, or language goals.
Teachers can set up parallel tracks (e.g. for heritage speakers vs. beginners) within the same class structure.

Highly Customizable Content: Videos are selected based on users’ interests and learning goals, making the material more engaging and relevant.
Content Vetting: All videos are reviewed by our in-house education professionals to ensure they are age-appropriate and aligned with learning standards.
Interactive Learning Tools: While watching, learners can save vocabulary and sentences to build personalized notebooks, reinforcing retention.
Contextual and Repetitive Learning: Vocabulary is revisited through multiple contexts and sentence structures, helping learners absorb and use language more naturally and effectively.

This approach ensures that learners aren’t just watching videos — they’re actively building skills, supported by research-based teaching methods.

Minimal Data Collection: We collect only the essentials — just the user’s email. On our backend, each user is assigned a unique ID to ensure they remain non-identifiable, even during API interactions.
Strict School-Controlled Integration: When partnering with school districts, we follow an integration process that gives schools full control over the data they share with us. No additional data is collected without their approval.
Strong Privacy Policies: Our privacy policies are designed to meet strict education data protection standards. We do not send personally identifiable information to AI services, and no student data is ever used for training third-party models.

In short, we prioritize data minimization, anonymization, and school oversight to ensure that all AI-enhanced features are safe and compliant.

1. Learning-Centered Design vs. Pure Transcription: TurboScribe AI focuses on fast, accurate transcription of videos for general use (e.g., meetings, podcasts). The Mimir uses transcription as part of an interactive learning experience — integrating it with vocabulary lookup, grammar insights, and speaking practice tools.

2. Language Pedagogy Integration: Mimir’s transcripts are aligned to ACTFL proficiency goals, with features like: Clickable words linked to pop-up definitions, sentence-by-sentence breakdowns for comprehension, and AI-generated follow-up activities (e.g., flashcards, comprehension checks)

3. Adaptive and Interactive: Transcripts are dynamically adjusted based on learner level, using AI to simplify language or highlight key structures. Learners can search, annotate, and save transcript segments to reinforce language acquisition over time.

4. Real-Time Speech Integration: In addition to pre-recorded content, Mimir uses transcription for student speech analysis — providing feedback on pronunciation, fluency, and vocabulary use.

5. Privacy and Education Compliance: Mimir’s transcription pipeline is built with student data protection in mind, prioritizing FERPA and COPPA compliance, which general-purpose tools like TurboScribe may not offer.

In summary, TurboScribe transcribes. Mimir teaches. Our transcription system is an educational engine, not just a productivity tool — tailored to help learners not only read what was said, but understand it, interact with it, and speak it back with confidence.
