Improve an inaccurate audio transcript
Background music, overlapping speech, accents and poor microphones can reduce recognition accuracy. A transcript is not an exact record unless checked.
Why this happens
Background music, overlapping speech, accents and poor microphones can reduce recognition accuracy. A transcript is not an exact record unless checked.
What to try first
Use a clearer recording or a shorter clip containing one speaker. Correct important words before reusing the text in a document.
Try it on a fresh copy
- Choose a recording or upload an audio file. For live recording, allow microphone access when your browser asks.
- Speak clearly or wait for the uploaded audio to finish transcribing. The first local transcription can take longer while its model downloads.
- Read the transcript while listening to uncertain passages. Correct names, dates and numbers before copying the text.
How to tell whether it worked
Review names, dates, amounts and punctuation against the recording. Speech recognition can produce plausible but incorrect words.
