Setting up your workspace
You can find many different kinds of software on the Internet. The purposes are so various that it would not make any sense to list them all here, especially when you look at the fact that everyday developers produce new ones with new functionality. However, there is one kind of software which we should mention here in particular. That one is the so-called audio transcription software which the people at Trint developed.
But what is so unique about this program anyhow? You can explain that when you give an impression of how it works.
So first of all, you need to have an audio file that includes spoken content. For this, you can use a microphone to record your voice. It is imperative that you try to speak without a dialect or another regional sound variant in some of your words because the software can only collect words that you produce in a standard variety. Those varieties are, for example, standard British English, General American English or also Canadian English. So you have to choose between those three options if you want to record your voice for the software. After you have chosen one of those, then you are free to go. Just make sure that you have a microphone prepared on your computer and start talking as much as you can.
Another thing which you need to check, of course, is the circumstance that other people cannot disturb you while you record because otherwise, you can start all over again, which can be very annoying. That can be especially the case when you have recorded a lot of content already and could thus feel to record parts of it anew, which can also be very annoying and costs you much time and effort. So you have to pick an environment where you are alone, or you leave a "do not disturb" sign at the door. Another option would be to lock the door so that no one can enter. But there can also be a second source of disturbance when you try to record your voice with your microphone. You can sum them up with the expression of background noises. Those can be a variety of sounds. For example the next-door environment around your house or office. If the building you record in is next to a street with a lot of traffic, then you might consider eliminating that background noise somehow. You can do that in many ways. Close the windows and doors so that you can dampen the noise as far as possible.
However, this does not work in every case, so you should check that with a test record if it works out well. In case you can still hear too much traffic noise, you should consider moving into another room. But you should be careful when choosing a place, for there could be ones that are not suited to recording as they produce echoes when you speak. A perfect example for that would be the standard bathroom in which is usually not too much furniture that could block echoes like it is the case with, for instance, a living room. It is understandable that you cannot record at all in a place like this. Also, you should look out for other sources of background noises in places you want to record. You should, in particular, look out for electronic devices that could drone when they are working. An example for that could be computers, refrigerators or ventilators.
After you have eliminated all possible sources for noises, you are free to go and can start recording. The software will then start writing everything down it can hear from the speech file. That way, it can save you a lot of time which you would otherwise lose while typing everything down you want to say. You might not have to mention that writing or typing is a lot more work than just speaking out what you want to say. That exactly is why that software is so popular with people working with texts.
If you are working a lot with written articles as well and you want to save some time, then you should consider using the automated transcription tool from Trint as it involves a lot of potentials to increase your efficiency at work for well-known reasons.
