Topic: Machine transcription -- got any URLs?
Poster: Samuel Murray
Hello
I was curious to see how much time machine transcription would save me (a non-transcriber) when transcribing. My conclusion after trying out a dozen or so online MP3-to-text converters is that it would probably save me about 20% of time, **if** the transcription is of a high quality. I've also discovered that I tend not to spot errors made by the machine transcribers if the audio is somewhat unclear at that point or if the transcription sounds plausible.
I took a well-known video on YouTube with clear audio and sent in the 40 seconds for transcription. In the examples below I added punctuation (many of these online machine transcribers do not add punctuation or capitalization).
Do you know of any other services, that you can recommend?
