What is an AI transcription service?

This type of transcription service uses artificial intelligence algorithms to automatically convert speech into written text. Instead of using manual audio transcription, artificial intelligence processes the audio signal and converts it straight into text. 

These services are based on natural language processing technologies which analyze the audio signal and then establish correspondence with the text, in multiple languages and contexts. 

Using artificial intelligence for text transcribing has hugely progressed over recent years, offering increased accuracy and various publishing and correction options to improve the quality of the final text. 

There are diverse tools and services available for Ai-driven text transcription, such as Otter.ai, Empower, Trint, and Meetgeek. 

That said, not all of these solutions are suitable for every use. Some are designed specifically for audio and video publishing, others for helping businesses to better understand their customers, and others again for transcribing meeting recordings.
