AI Transcription – Speech to Text with Artificial Intelligence
Harness the power of artificial intelligence for precise transcriptions. SmartScription uses OpenAI Whisper, one of the most advanced AI models for speech recognition worldwide. The result: automatic transcriptions that significantly outperform manual transcription in both speed and accuracy.
What is AI Transcription?
AI transcription uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to automatically convert spoken language into written text. Unlike conventional speech recognition systems, modern AI understands context, recognizes dialects, and handles varying audio qualities. OpenAI Whisper was trained on over 680,000 hours of multilingual audio material and achieves accuracy approaching professional human transcription.
Benefits of AI-Powered Transcription
State-of-the-Art AI Technology
OpenAI Whisper is a transformer-based model trained on an enormous amount of data. It recognizes speech contextually and delivers significantly better results than conventional speech recognition.
Multilingual Support
Automatic detection and transcription in over 30 languages. The AI model automatically detects the spoken language – no manual settings needed.
Robust Under Various Conditions
The AI handles background noise, different dialects, and accents well. Results are consistently high quality, regardless of recording conditions.
Privacy First
Processing on EU servers in Frankfurt. GDPR-compliant data handling. No use of your data for AI training. Audio files are deleted after transcription.
AI Transcription vs. Manual Transcription
Manual transcription by humans is time-consuming and expensive. An experienced transcriptionist typically needs 4-6 hours to transcribe one hour of audio and costs between 1-3 euros per audio minute. AI transcription, on the other hand, processes one hour of audio in just a few minutes at a fraction of the cost. The accuracy of modern AI models like Whisper exceeds 95% and is more than sufficient for most use cases. Where absolute perfection is required, the AI transcript can serve as a base for manual post-editing.
Technology Behind SmartScription
SmartScription is built on OpenAI Whisper, an open-source model for automatic speech recognition. Whisper uses an encoder-decoder transformer architecture and was trained on an enormous amount of multilingual audio data. This enables robust recognition of different languages, dialects, and accents. Processing takes place entirely on secure EU servers in Frankfurt, Germany. Your data never leaves the European Union.
