Key Features

  1. Accurate Audio Transcription: The “Audio Transcription + High-Level Analysis” Tool utilizes advanced speech recognition technology to transcribe audio files accurately. It can handle various audio formats, including MP3, WAV, and M4a, and convert them into text with high precision. This feature ensures that you receive reliable and accurate transcriptions, saving you time and effort in manual transcription.

When working with video files, to avoid upload issues, extract the audio before upload and directly work with the audio content.

  1. Theme/Topic identification: In addition to transcription, the Tool identifies the main discussed themes and topics. It analyzes the transcribed text and extracts key points relying on state of the art language models. This frees you from having to listen to the recording to only get the gist.

  2. High-Level Summary: In addition to transcription, the Tool provides a high-level summary of the audio content relying on state of the art large language models. It analyzes the transcribed text and extracts key points, main ideas, and important details. This summary allows you to quickly grasp the essence of the audio recording without having to listen to the entire file. It is a valuable time-saving feature for busy professionals who need to extract information efficiently.

  3. Customizable Analysis: You have the flexibility to customize the level of detail in the high-level analysis. Whether you want to exclude the first speaker, a concise summary or a more detailed overview, you can specify the desired depth of analysis. This customization ensures that the high-level summary aligns with your specific needs and preferences.

  4. Speaker Identification: The Tool can identify different speakers in the audio recording. This speaker identification feature is particularly useful in interviews, panel discussions, or any audio recording with multiple participants. It allows you to differentiate between speakers and understand who said what in the transcribed text. The first heard voice is labeled with 1, the second one is 2 and so on.

To emphasize on interviewees, make sure to trim your audio files in a way that the first heard voice is the interviewer/moderator. This way, you can use the "Exclude the first speaker" option.

  1. Time Stamps: The Tool provides time stamps in the transcribed text, indicating the exact timing of each segment/utterance. These time stamps enable you to navigate through the audio recording and locate specific parts of interest quickly. It is a convenient feature for reviewing and referencing the audio content.
