EYFS observations.
Spoken, not typed.
Most EYFS observation software still makes you type. TeachScribe is different. Press a button on your lanyard mic, speak naturally, and get a complete observation with curriculum goals tagged in seconds.
Leave your number and a real human will call you back — usually within a minute or two.
Watch a demonstration of TeachScribe's AI-powered observation tool. See how educators capture EYFS observations hands-free using a push-to-talk lanyard, with automatic curriculum goal mapping.
Why most observation software still feels like paperwork
Digital observation tools moved the clipboard to a screen. But the core problem remains: teachers have to stop what they're doing to type.
Typing pulls you away
Every observation means stopping, picking up a tablet, and typing. That's time away from supervision and interaction with children.
Hours of admin every single week
Observation write-ups eat into the school day or get pushed to evenings and weekends. That's time that could be spent with the children or on prep work.
Curriculum gaps go unnoticed
Without automatic tracking, it's hard to know which children or curriculum areas are being missed. Blind spots only surface at assessment time.
From thousands of real-world observations across schools using TeachScribe, teachers are over 15x more likely to do a voice observation than a written one, and the vast majority are done during school hours rather than in the evening.
