Tips for Better Transcription Quality

Transcription quality largely depends on the quality of the source audio. Here are some tips for the best results:

1
Clear audio — Use recordings with minimal background noise. A quality microphone makes a significant difference.
2
Steady pace — Speak at a normal pace and articulate clearly. Very fast or mumbled passages are harder to transcribe.
3
Single speaker — The tool works best with one or two speakers. Group conversations will produce less accurate results.
4
Right format — MP3 offers the best size-to-quality ratio. WAV is larger but preserves original audio quality.
