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.

It was a very useful tool to transcribe my interviews. It guarantees anonymity and is secure. I truly recommend it. Well I won't lie to you, you will have to listen it and correct, but it will help a lot.

Easy to use, quick to set up. Translates 9 languages in both ways and transcribes in over 118 languages. Punctuation works really well even when recording is not too clear. Time saver — absolutely recommended.

HappyScribe is exactly what I was looking for. We regularly tape our meetings in my business; we used to just keep the audio files for storage. Now we can have them transcribed at a very attractive price.

This app is fricking brilliant! Been looking for a solution to do this for literally years and they're all either terrible user experience or get the captions completely wrong. HappyScribe is awesome. Nice work guys!
