Audio transcription is the process of converting spoken language into written text. This can be done manually by a person listening to audio recordings or automatically using software that recognizes speech. Transcription is commonly used in various fields, including journalism, legal proceedings, and academic research, to create accurate records of conversations, interviews, or speeches. The transcription process involves listening carefully to the audio and typing out the words as they are spoken. It may also include noting non-verbal cues, such as pauses or laughter, to provide context. Transcribed documents can be useful for subtitling, captioning, and creating searchable text for audio content.
