The things teachers and school leaders actually ask before trying Wivoza — on privacy, evaluation, and how it works.
No. Admins — at the school level or platform-wide — only ever see aggregate trends across their staff, like how many teachers are using Wivoza, or how often clear directions or questions beyond recall come up across recorded lessons. No number is tied to a teacher, and they never see anyone's recordings, transcripts, reports, answers, or ratings. Every admin view says this plainly on screen.
No. A school can share up to two coaching priorities, like academic discussion. Whether Wivoza brings one into your coaching is your choice alone: it is off until you turn it on, you can pause or turn it off any time in Profile & Settings, and your admin never sees who turned it on, paused it, or said no. When it is on, Wivoza only offers an idea when it fits what you are working on, and labels it "Connected to your selected school focus".
No. Wivoza is a private self-coaching companion, not an evaluation tool. Coach never assigns a grade, score, or rating you can see, and it's explicitly built to avoid language that functions like one.
No audio is ever kept. Talk It Through and Lesson Debrief both transcribe a recording and then immediately discard it — only the resulting text and metrics remain. Wivoza never records video. A camera is used only if you choose to photograph a worksheet or lesson materials, and that photo is read for its text and not stored.
The file itself is not stored. It is read in memory to pull out its text (and, if you choose to keep them, its pictures) and then discarded. The text is kept with that work like anything else you submit. When you attach your original file so your own pictures are carried into a new deck or document, those pictures are used only for that request and go straight into the file you download.
When a slide needs a picture you didn't supply, Wivoza searches Wikimedia Commons using a few words about the slide's topic — never your name, your file, or student details. It uses only public-domain and Creative Commons pictures, shows the credit line on the slide, and skips anything that isn't classroom-safe. If nothing fits well, it leaves a marked spot instead of a random photo.
Coach is built to avoid it — it refers to people by role ("a student," "the class") even if you type a real name yourself, and it's instructed to avoid quoting anything that could indirectly identify a specific student.
A short, running note Coach keeps about your recurring strengths and any ongoing challenges — built only from your real Talk It Through conversations and Lesson Debrief reflections, never from Practice rehearsals. It's on by default, but you can view it, turn it off, or clear it anytime from Profile & Settings.
The text of the conversation is saved in your account like any Talk It Through conversation, and you can delete it the same way. A voice note is transcribed and a photo is read, and neither file is kept. An email you forward is saved with the draft reply it produced. Messages reach Wivoza through Telegram, which handles them under its own privacy policy, and you can disconnect the chat at any time.
Yes. Profile & Settings has a "Reset & clear data" option that permanently removes your saved scenarios, answers, messages, and Lesson Debrief sessions.
It's AI-generated, grounded only in real evidence — Wivoza is built not to invent a quote, number, or moment that wasn't actually said or measured. When something is unclear or missing, it says so rather than guessing.
Treat it the way you'd treat a colleague's read on a moment they weren't fully present for — a useful outside perspective, not the final word. Your own judgment always comes first.
Yes. Connect Telegram from Profile & Settings and Coach is a chat on your phone: type, send a voice note, photograph a worksheet, or forward an email you need to answer. Short things, like a few lesson ideas or a draft reply, arrive in the chat; longer ones arrive as a PDF or open in Wivoza already signed in.
A few days after a Talk It Through conversation, Coach checks in once on the next step you chose. It is one check-in at a time, and you can skip it or turn check-ins off.
A private report with six tabs, built around how you taught the content. Summary is the 60-second read: one thing to try next lesson, what the lesson covered, an idea for taking the content further, how the lesson moved, and its numbers (Teacher Talk, Student Talk, Group Talk, Silence, pace, questions and checks for understanding). Content Specialist reads how you taught the content the way a specialist in your subject would: what worked and why, where it could go further, and where students usually get stuck in this topic. Insights has the detail in four sections — Talk & Participation, Questioning & Checking, Clarity & Content, and Climate & Routines — always shown in your own words, with the time you said them. Rubric lens, Reflect, and My Growth cover the rest.
It reads how you taught the content: your explanations, examples, models and vocabulary, the order you put ideas in, and what the next layer of depth would be. Every note points to a moment you actually said, with its time, and you always get both what worked and where it could go further. It then lists where students usually get stuck in the topic — that part is subject knowledge, not a claim about your class. It does not grade your accuracy: it works from a transcript, so anything that may need a second look is put as a gentle check, never a correction. It recognises math, ELA, science, social studies and the arts; a world-language class taught in the target language is not yet recognised.
Yes. On the Summary, choose Save the full report as a PDF. You get the Summary, Content Specialist, and all four Insights sections, each on its own page, with every list opened up. The Hard Look is never included. The PDF is yours to keep or pass on; nothing is shared unless you send it.
The report says so at the top — how much of the recording came through as audible speech — and its numbers come only from that part. Anything it could not measure shows as unavailable rather than as a zero.
An optional second reading of a Lesson Debrief that says the least generous thing the evidence can support, with the moments it is based on — for the whole lesson, from the Rubric lens tab. You ask for it; it never appears on its own. Where the recording cannot carry a criticism it says so, and it is left out of the PDF, so it stays between you and Coach.
No. On request, it sorts what your recording captured under the Danielson rubric’s classroom domains and gives one next step for each component. It never assigns a level or a score.
No — Wivoza works in any modern browser, on your phone, tablet, or computer, with nothing to download. If you prefer an app, Wivoza is also on the App Store for iPhone, using the same account.
Any device with a browser and a microphone, plus the iPhone app. Talk It Through and Lesson Debrief have both been specifically tuned to work reliably on mobile, not just desktop.
No — any teacher can create an individual account on their own, with nothing tied to a school. If your school later joins Wivoza, you can add yourself to it with a code without losing anything you've already done.
Only in aggregate — activity levels and patterns across the whole staff's recorded lessons, never your individual recordings, reports, answers, or ratings. That boundary doesn't change based on how you were brought on.
Your account and everything in it belongs to you — it isn't tied to a specific school. You can join a different district's code anytime from Profile & Settings.
Yes — Talk It Through and Practice are free for everyone, always, plus 3 Lesson Debrief recordings a month.
