Frequently Asked Questions

What is voice to text transcription?

Voice to text transcription is the process of converting a voice file into a text file. From journalists needing to select a quote for their article from a recent interview, to businessmen needing a written record of a meeting, to a student wanting study notes from a lecture, there are plenty of scenarios where having a text file is more convenient than an audio recording. Transcription is also useful for podcasts, phone calls, dictation, etc... This is where transcription services can help.

How long does it take to convert voice to text?

The amount of time it will take to voice to text depends on the length of your audio file, the quality of the audio, and whether or not you transcribe the audio yourself or use voice to text software. If your audio quality is good and you are experienced at transcribing voice to text you can expect to take 4 hours to convert 1 hour of audio. If you have poor audio or are a novice at transcribing voice to text this may take longer. In contrast, automatic voice transcription can convert voice to text in a few minutes. Furthermore, a professional transcriber from HappyScribe can provide you with a proofread & high-quality transcript within 24 hours.

How accurate is your automatic transcription software?

Ongoing technological advances continue to improve the accuracy rate of automatic transcription. Depending on the audio quality, speaker accents, and technical jargon, our automatic transcription software can achieve up to 85% accuracy.

How can I improve the accuracy of my voice to text transcription?

To get the highest possible accuracy rate for your voice to text transcription you need to upload a high-quality audio file. To obtain a high-quality audio file, it is advised that you maintain a consistent recording environment, avoid background noise, use quality microphones, and ensure that speakers talk directly into the microphone and avoid talking over one another.

The best transcription for subtitles that I've ever seen. In French! Almost no need for correction, I corrected one word and one space in a 3-minute video.

The automated transcription was accurate, and the editor was great with the shortcuts.

Literally a lifesaver. Had to transcribe an interview which was 40 minutes and they were able to do it within less than 5 minutes. Would have taken me about 5 days to do manually.

Quick, efficient, and very nice results. Very reasonable pricing. I used it on some rather busy videos to produce subtitles, which I then translated. I will be using it more in the future.
