Transcription apps — apps that record and make text transcriptions of the conversation — have been an extremely useful way of keeping records for many of us. This doesn’t only pertain to journalists, who, of course, often keep records of their interviews. When you are caring for a family member who is ill, for example, having a recorded and transcribed record of a conversation with the doctor can be very useful. And when you’re dealing with the insurance company rep afterward — well, ’nuff said. There are two types of transcription services available online today: one that uses an AI engine and the other that uses human transcribers. The latter is usually much more accurate but is also considerably more expensive. As a result, most individuals use AI-driven services to interpret and transcribe their audio — and admittedly, as AI services have improved, so have the transcriptions. Here is a list of some of the AI-powered transcription services available.
One thing to be aware of: the quality of transcription supplied by these apps can vary widely depending not only on the AI engine the app is using but also on the quality of your audio file. If there are a lot of voices talking at once, if there is a lot of background noise, if the speakers have accents unfamiliar to the AI tool — those can all serve to degrade the accuracy of the transcription. So, a good idea is to try out a transcription service with a typical file to see how well it performs. And consider which app could be most cost-effective for you. If you only need to upload an occasional file, it could be best to go with either a free version or one of the pay-as-you-go services. If you do regular uploads, then a monthly or annual subscription may work better for you.
