Best practices for high transcription accuracy
Follow these acoustic guidelines to achieve over 95% word accuracy without editing.
Microphone Proximity
Keeping the microphone within 6 inches of the primary speaker dramatically reduces room reverberation and echo, yielding over 95% word accuracy.
Minimize Background Noise
Avoid background music, loud HVAC systems, or street noise during recording to prevent the acoustic model from mistaking ambient artifacts for syllables.
Natural Spoken Cadence
Speakers do not need to pause artificially. The neural punctuation layer infers commas, periods, and sentence boundaries directly from natural pitch inflections.
Clean Plain-Text Export
Export your finished transcript directly as a lightweight UTF-8 TXT file without timestamp clutter, ready to paste into Google Docs, Word, or an article editor.
