Tips for Best Audio Transcription Results
Get the best results from your transcription with these helpful tips.
Recording Quality Matters
For best results, use clear audio recordings. Files recorded with dedicated microphones in quiet environments produce more accurate transcripts than phone recordings or noisy environments.
File Format Recommendations
While we support all formats, MP3 and WAV files typically process most reliably. If you experience issues with unusual formats, try converting to MP3 first.
Multiple Speaker Tips
For interviews or group discussions, speaker detection works best when speakers don't talk over each other. Clear turn-taking produces the most accurate speaker labels.
Background Music
Audio with heavy background music may have lower accuracy. For best results, use recordings where speech is clearly audible above any background audio.
