What to consider when choosing an audio transcriber

With the right audio transcription software, you can get quick, accurate results at an affordable price. Choose an audio transcriber that’s fast and automatic. Although, depending on the length of your recording, transcriptions should only take a few minutes. You don’t need to compromise on accuracy for speed, reliable audio online transcription software should still transcribe accurately. A quick tip is to go for high-quality audio recording software as clearer recordings lead to more accurate transcriptions. Once you’ve got that covered, look out for

audio transcript file formats. Text (TXT) files are ideal for repurposing audio into written content, and SubRip (SRT) files are timestamped, making them suitable for quick and easy subtitles or captions. Take into account if you’ll be transcribing audio with multiple speakers. You’ll want to make sure your audio transcriber comes with robust speech recognition that can differentiate between speakers. The software you choose should also be easy to use and accessible without complicated downloads.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an audio transcriber?

An audio transcriber is a human or software that converts audio into written text.

Humans are often very accurate, but their services can be costly, and they require some time.

Automated audio transcribers use AI speech-to-text recognition to convert audio to text. While they’re much faster, they aren’t always as accurate for heavy accents or unclear recordings. But if you’re using Riverside, you’ll get crystal clear audio and advanced AI transcripts with 99% accuracy.

How do you transcribe audio?

You can create an audio transcript manually or through dedicated software.

Manually, you can listen and transcribe audio yourself. This is very time-consuming. Or, you can hire someone, which can be expensive.

Transcription software will save you tons of time and money. If you’re using Riverside, follow these steps to transcribe:

Create a new studio and record your audio on Riverside for the best results. But you can also upload your own recording.
Click on your recording to preview it.
At the bottom of the preview, go to Transcript and click “Download” to choose between a text and subtitle file.

What is the best transcribing software?

Unlike other software, Riverside.fm transcribes audio straight after recording. It offers high-resolution WAV audio for more accurate transcription and is easy to use no matter who you are.
