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.

What to consider when choosing an online voice recorder

The most important thing to consider when looking for an online voice recorder is quality. With the right audio recorder, you don’t need to compromise resolution because you’re recording online. Find online software with local recording that can record your voice in high resolution without worrying about internet issues getting in the way. The better your recording quality, the less editing but for quick fixes look for software that already comes with some easy editing tools.

You’ll want tools for automatic noise suppression, echo cancellation, and easy audio clip creation. The ability to download separate participant tracks is also helpful in giving you more editing control. Don’t forget to check out recording files’ formats. While MP3 audio is better when it comes to storage space, WAV files are crisper and better for fine-tune editing. Other than that, automatic transcription will save you plenty of labor time and a voice recorder mobile app will give you the freedom to record on-the-go.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to transcribe audio and video files?

Although it depends on the length of your recordings, if you’re transcribing everything manually, it could take you quite a few hours. If you use human-run transcription services, these generally take around 12-24 hours or longer. Your fastest option is to use automated audio and video transcription software. Automatic online transcription software like Riverside lets you transcribe all your recordings in minutes.

What is the best transcription software?

It depends on your needs, but as we said above, you should consider looking at the transcription software’s speed, accuracy, and ability to differentiate between speakers.  It’s also worth looking at what file formats you need your recordings in and what transcript file types you can download.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
