Frequently Asked Questions
Can the tool identify different speakers (Interviewer vs. Guest)?
Yes, we use "Speaker Diarization." In the audio industry, Diarization is the technical term for "partitioning an audio stream into speaker segments"—or simply, figuring out who spoke when.
How to use it:
Check the "Distinguish different people" box in the settings before uploading your MP3.
Note: This requires a second pass by the AI to analyze voice patterns, so it will take slightly longer to process than a standard transcription.
What technology powers this converter?
We run on the Whisper3 Architecture. This is an open-source "neural net" trained on 500,000+ hours of multilingual data. We process every file on fast NVIDIA GPUs, ensuring you get the full power of this AI with the speed you expect.
Why it matters: Unlike older tools that guessed words based on linear probability, Whisper understands context, making it much better at handling accents, technical jargon, and background noise.
How can I get the best accuracy with MP3 files?
To ensure near-perfect accuracy, focus on these three factors:
- High Bitrate: Use MP3s with a bitrate of 192kbps or higher. Lower bitrates introduce "digital noise" that confuses AI.
- No Background Music: This is the #1 cause of errors. The AI attempts to transcribe everything it hears, including lyrics or instruments.
- Microphone Proximity: Ensure the recording was made in a quiet environment with the microphone close to the speaker.
My transcript has text that wasn't in the audio. Why?
This is known as an "AI Hallucination." Occasionally, if a file contains long periods of silence or non-speech noise (like heavy breathing or wind), the AI tries to find patterns that aren't there and "hallucinates" words to fill the gap.
The Fix: Trim any long silences from your audio before uploading. This prevents the AI from guessing and significantly improves the final output.
My transcript is in the wrong language (or looks like random text). Why?
This is likely caused by a "Cold Start" error regarding Language Inference.
The Problem:
Our AI scans the first 30 seconds to detect the spoken language. If your file starts with long silence, static, or intro music, the AI lacks "linguistic data" to analyze. It may default to a random language (often English or sometimes also hallucinated symbols).
The Fix:
Trim the silent intro so the audio starts immediately with speech, then re-upload.
Can I transcribe audio directly to DOCX?
Yes. If you want to transcribe your audio directly to a Microsoft Word file (.docx) right away, we have a dedicated tool for that.
