How AI Transcription Works Watch this demo to see how we're using artificial intelligence to generate text from audio... Transistor's AI Transcription is powered by Frequently Asked Questions Here are some questions we often get asked about podcast transcription. How does AI transcription work? AI transcription leverages machine learning algorithms and natural language processing technologies to convert spoken language (audio) into written text.You may have used speech-to-text that leverages a similar technology when you've uploaded a video to YouTube or Facebook, and it's automatically generated captions. Google Docs also has a similar speech-to-text feature. How accurate are AI transcripts? AI transcription is significantly cheaper than getting human to manually transcribe text, however it's not 100% accurate. You will need to go over the text that's generated, and manually fix errors in the editor. Why does my podcast need a transcript? Transcripts are no longer just a nice-to-have feature; they're a must-have for any serious podcaster. With Transistor's support and new AI transcription feature, adding transcripts to your podcast episodes has never been easier. Why are podcasters switching to Transistor?
