Our clients often<\/em> ask us why the accuracy of their automatically generated transcripts varies. It can be a consequence of the audio quality. The extent to which your audio file can be automatically converted into text is directly related to the quality of your audio. Good audio quality will definitely speed up the transcription process!

    1. The distance between the speaker and the microphone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Sound quality is greatly influenced by the distance between the speaker and the microphone. If the speaker is too far away, the microphone will not pick up all sounds properly and some parts may get lost. If the distance is too short, you will hear the speaker breathing into the microphone. The perfect distance depends on the microphone; often, the ideal distance is around 10 centimeters.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you use your phone, holding it in front of the speaker\u2019s mouth gives the best result. If that is not possible, the phone should be placed on the table right in front of the speaker. Moreover, take your phone case off so the microphone is uncovered. The transcription should go easily then!<\/p>\n\n\n
