You can then activate an edit mode, which allows you to correct the transcription as you listen to the audio. It then lets you know when it’s ready via notification or email. On completion, it uploads the transcription and runs it through the same AI software in the cloud, in order to sharpen the accuracy of what it transcribes. You can even watch the words appear to see which it is getting wrong. Here’s the real beauty of it: if you record an interview through the Otter app on your phone, it transcribes as you go along. The transcript can then be exported as a text file. If the sound quality is good, the transcription typically comes out about 98% accurate, but you can read along as you follow the played-back recording, and correct as you go. The recording is uploaded to the cloud, and it uses artificial intelligence to compare words and accents against a vast database. It’s called Otter.ai, and it is primarily a transcription app, allowing any voice recording to be made through it, and to produce an immediate text transcription. Allow me to introduce you to a miracle app: one of the few apps that I can truly say has changed my life.
