Learn to use the right software
Linguistic transcription is a very complicated process. Not only does this require that you understand the person who is speaking at the moment without any interference from background noises, but you also have to write down what they say as fast as possible. So it is no wonder that there can slip in some smaller mistakes in the text that people transcribe. Nevertheless, that is a very hard kind of work which you should not take too lightly. Fortunately, the people at Trint company have developed a program which helps to transcribe words to text format. The most apparent advantage of that is that the program works much faster than humans because it can type as fast as the speaking voice produces words. For humans, that is simply not possible to uphold that speed. One has to add, however, that the mentioned program is far from being perfect. As its developers published it in 2016, it is relatively new and therefore still contains a lot of bugs and other flaws. But it has been very successful since its release and aids people with creating texts day by day.
How to use the audio transcription software in the best way?
Before you start working with that program, however, you should know how to handle it adequately, so you will get the best use out of it and save even more time with handling it correctly instead of losing time with its configuration. Before you start, make sure you have a working microphone attached to your computer. Unless you only want to transcribe data from speech files you already have on your computer, you should have one to produce new files. Often you could find yourself in a situation where you have to record a speech file again because the audio transcription software cannot transcribe your words correctly. That can have a variety of reasons. First of all, there can be mechanical reasons such as background noises. So you should check your recording environment for that before you start. You should also keep in mind that computers can be loud as well, especially if you have an older model. In that case, you should think of a solution that the droning of your computer is not on your speech file. You could, for example, use a microphone with an extension cable so that you can be in another room than your computer while you record your speech file. There are also microphones which have a background noise isolation mechanism available. You should talk with an employee of your local media shop about that. Besides the technical nature of your microphone, you should also look for an active way of reducing background noise to guarantee further that your speech file is as pure from outside noises as possible. There is the possibility to deactivate electronic devices producing sound or to look for a room which is quiet per se. Suitable for that requirements is often the cellar. To minimize echo in a place, you should consider including items that devour acoustic sound waves before they can resonate. A perfect example for that would be furniture, pictures or decoration objects. If you keep all those things in mind, then you can be sure that you have the perfect place to create your sound files.
What languages does the software support?
The fact that you have a microphone and a place to record alone does not guarantee that you will be able to create speech files suited for the program. You also need to speak the right language. Of course, English as a world language is supported, even with three different accents. Those are Standard British English, General American English, and Canadian English. But there are also other ones that you can use to create your speech files. Those languages are French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Finnish, Hungarian, Dutch, Romanian and Swedish. So you could claim that these are languages used by a vast majority of speakers worldwide. So the software aims at a global target group, simplifying communication for all purposes you could imagine. What all of these purposes in common is the following: they aim at saving you the time spent writing so that you can do the things you want to and you would otherwise waste by typing them on a computer or writing them on a piece of paper. With the help of this software, you can go out and do the things that matter!
