4 Tips to transcribe voice memos accurately
Record your voice in high-quality
Save your voice memos in the highest quality possible. Compressed audio or low-quality recordings lead to inaccurate transcriptions.
Remove background noise first
Noisy audio gives AI a hard time transcribing. Remove background noise and echo before transcribing to improve accuracy.
Speak clearly and naturally
Pronounce your words carefully and maintain a steady pace while speaking. Avoid strong regional accents or overly niche technical jargon.
Review names and terms
Even the best AI can struggle with brand names, people’s names, and niche terms. Skim your final text transcript to ensure consistency.
