Get Started
What to consider when choosing transcription software
If you’re looking for top-quality transcription software there are a few necessities to look out for. Manual transcription can take hours and sometimes even days. Transcription software is meant to save you time, and you’ll want to make sure your software transcribes at a fast turnaround. We suggest looking for software that transcribes instantly and doesn’t take more than a few minutes. Although, you shouldn’t sacrifice accuracy for speed. Good transcription software should come with robust speech recognition technology that transcribes accurately and leaves you with fewer edits or adjustments after transcribing.
A good tip is to record in high-quality audio for better accuracy. Other important features to look out for include file formats. Text (TXT) transcripts are great for creating written content, but make sure you can download SubRip (SRT) transcripts for subtitles and captions with automated timestamps. If you’re looking to transcribe with multiple speakers, make sure your software recognizes and differentiates between speakers. All in all, transcription software’s primary purpose is to make it easier to automatically transcribe audio or video to text. You’ll want user-friendly software with simple-to-use features.
