Question 1

Some agencies that offer software for audio to text transcription: Rev.com, Kukarella.com, Sonix.ai, Happyscribe.com, Temi.com, Trint.com, Descript.com.

Question 2

How is automatic transcription better than manual?

Accepted Answer

Automatic transcription allows you to convert voice to text with high accuracy (usually - 90-95%); in real time (for recordings) or twice as fast as manual transcription (for uploaded files); for a really competitive fee ($5 per one hour of audio). It also guarantees full privacy, since nobody except you will see the text or listen to your audio.

Question 3

How to transcribe recordings to text? What options do you have?

Accepted Answer

Option one. Do it yourself, but that is very tedious and will take loads of time, which you could spend more efficiently.
Option two - hire someone. It can be your employee, some freelancer from upwork or fiverr, or an agency. Transcription itself will take at least twice as much time as the audio recording itself. The cost will be from $15 to $60 per hour of audio. Above that, forget about privacy.
Option three - online audio to text converters. The best technologies, such as Google, support around 120 languages and accents. The accuracy is between 90-95%. The problem was that so far, only large companies could use these technologies. We decided that ordinary users should also have access to the most advanced audio transcription tools. And so we created Kukarella.

Question 6

Why does audio transcription fail sometimes?

Accepted Answer

Quite often audio recognition may be inaccurate or even fail to detect any speech. This can be for a number of reasons, such as low volume, high background noise, or audio distortion. A good rule of thumb is this: if Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant on your phone can understand what is being said in an audio recording, then the transcription service should also understand that.
In order to get the transcription to give its best results, please try the following things:
- Use a high quality recording with less background noise and a clear voice.
- Try editing the recording to reduce noise and increase it’s speaking volume using programs such as Audacity (free) or Adobe Audition (paid).
- You can also try selecting “1 Speaker”, as sometimes it can have better results than multiple speakers.
