Transcription

Human-generated transcripts provide accuracy that is lost in speech recognition methods.

Why Is Speech Recognition Inferior to Transcription?

• Speech Recognition results are inaccurate, unreliable, and inconsistent – with error rates often exceeding 20%.
• 80 – 90% accuracy is simply inadequate for most applications.
• Accuracy below 97% is insufficient when comprehension is crucial.
• Transcripts with high error rates do not satisfy compliance with legal mandates.
• It costs more to edit speech recognition scripts than it does to use a professional transcriber to start with.
