What it is

A Transcript is the raw text output from converting audio or video files to text. It’s the foundation for all other reports - every analysis report requires a transcript first.

​
How it’s generated

Transcripts are created using automated speech-to-text technology (AssemblyAI). The system:
  • Processes audio/video files
  • Identifies speakers
  • Converts speech to text
  • Numbers each utterance for citation in other reports
Always review and edit your transcript before generating analysis reports. Accurate transcripts lead to better insights.
