What is real-time transcription

by Vytenis

Real-time transcription transforms your voice into text as you speak. This technology can assist a company in making better decisions due to the less activity needed to report what’s said in a meeting  

Companies today are more than ever doing meetings and especially online meetings. These meetings provide critical insights into prospects’ and customers’ thoughts, feelings, and opinions. Finding these insights, however, can be difficult, especially as the volume of meetings continues to grow. Manually reviewing meetings is inefficient, costly, and does not scale. 

Meeting transcription in real-time helps you extract actionable items from call, converting raw audio into searchable text that can then be analyzed.
 

How real-time transcription works 

Meetings involve a series of conversations between multiple people who may be in the same room or dialed in remotely. These discussions may include video and screen sharing, which can be extremely information-dense. A suitable meeting transcript entails more than just understanding what was said: it must preserve the flow of the conversation, identify critical events that occurred, and comprehend the intent of what was said. Transcripts that include speaker naming and statements help readers understand who was involved in discussion points while also providing specific context for what was said. 

The primary advantage of real-time transcription is the ability to gain actionable insights and knowledge from recorded conversations on a large scale. When a company is recording hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of calls, manually reviewing call recordings is impractical. Converting these recordings into searchable text results in significant time savings and a significant increase in capability.  

Many businesses are overwhelmed by the massive volume of meeting recordings and the huge amount of data generated by meetings. Transcribing these recordings is an important step in the process of going from recording a meeting to creating actionable value from it. Today’s Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning technologies have advanced to the point where accurately transcribing meetings, despite their unique challenges, is now possible. The ability for machines to generate transcripts without human intervention allows for large-scale conversations to be examined, which was not possible before with manual call recording and call review.
