\n \t\t\t

Bug fixes and improvements are only released as new versions, so we recommend installing updates promptly. Older versions keep working with our online services (license check, automatic transcription) for at least six months after a newer version has been released. After that, an update may be required; we will announce this in good time in the app and by email. For security reasons, this period may be shorter in exceptional cases.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/details>\n

\n \t\t\t

Yes, easytranscript offers automated transcription. This allows you to quickly and reliably convert audio or video files into text \u2013 over 100 languages are supported, as well as files with multiple audio tracks. In addition, you can apply your own transcription rules and edit the result directly in easytranscript.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/details>\n

\n \t\t\t\u25be<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n \t\t\tHow can I improve the text quality of automated transcription?<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/span>\n\n<\/summary>\n
\n \t\t\t

Quality depends mainly on the recording. These tips will noticeably improve the result:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Before recording:<\/strong>
\u2013 Choose a quiet environment without background noise.
\u2013 Place the microphone as close to the speakers as possible.
\u2013 Record in high quality, ideally as WAV.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

In easytranscript:<\/strong>
\u2013 Select the correct language of the recording.
\u2013 Only select a rule set if you need transcription rules; otherwise leave it disabled.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Good to know:<\/strong> Recognition is based on pitch, volume and speaking rate. When several people talk at once, the environment is noisy or someone speaks unclearly, individual word boundaries or stresses may be slightly off. You can correct this in the editor at any time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

If the quality is still very poor and only little text is recognized, please write to us at support@easytranscript.de<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/details>\n

\n \t\t\t\u25be<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n \t\t\tHow are speakers automatically recognized?<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/span>\n\n<\/summary>\n
\n \t\t\t

With automatic transcription, easytranscript can recognize speakers based on their voice profiles<\/strong> and assign them separately.
Features such as pitch, volume, and pauses are analyzed to determine when one person stops speaking and another begins.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Optionally, you can also specify a separate audio file for each speaker<\/strong> (e.g., for multi-track recordings). This makes the assignment particularly reliable.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/details>\n

\n \t\t\t\u25be<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n \t\t\tWhat is a transcription rule set and which one should I choose?<\/span>\n\t\t\n<\/span>\n\n<\/summary>\n
\n \t\t\t

A transcription rule set determines how spoken language is represented in the text<\/strong> \u2013 in other words, which scientific or practical conventions are used to structure the transcript.
In easytranscript, you can choose between different rule sets depending on your goal:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t
