Transcription guide
Choosing safe settings
Automatic transcription works best with clear speech, limited noise and one speaker at a time. Select the language when known; detection can be unreliable for short clips or mixed languages.
Automated text is not a certified transcript without human verification. Obtain permission before processing another person’s recording and protect confidential conversations.
Quality checklist
Trim long silence and confirm voices are audible. Review names, numbers, technical terms and punctuation against the recording.
A completed progress bar proves that processing ended, not that the result is suitable. Open the exported file, check the beginning and end, verify duration and dimensions, and listen for audio synchronization. For documents, confirm page order, searchable text and readability of small print. For transparent images, view the result over both a light and dark background.
Privacy and safe handling
Media can reveal faces, voices, locations, documents and private conversations. Review a file before sharing it and remove unnecessary metadata when appropriate. Avoid uploading confidential work to any online processor unless you understand its privacy practices and have authority to do so.
A practical selection checklist
If a local file is rejected, confirm that the extension matches its actual type and try a smaller known-good sample. Refresh the page, then test another modern browser. If a public address fails, verify that the complete address opens without a private login, copied surrounding text or an expired temporary token.
