Transcription

Transcription is the automatic conversion of spoken audio into written text. AI transcription tools can turn recordings of meetings, client calls, or voice notes into a typed document within minutes. Modern tools are accurate enough to distinguish between different speakers and handle accents reasonably well. This saves significant time compared to typing notes manually.

Real-world example

A Dublin accountant records all client onboarding calls and uses an AI transcription tool to generate a written summary automatically, so nothing discussed is ever lost.
