We understand the importance of reliable transcriptions, and we're here to guide you on how to try different things to enhance your real time transcription experience
Evaluate the accuracy of your transcriptions before making changes. Note recurring errors and consider audio configuration and dialect suitability.- Consider Changing Cloud Providers:
One effective way to enhance your transcription accuracy is by considering a change in your cloud service provider. Different providers may offer varying levels of accuracy and performance. We've compiled a helpful guide to assist you in viewing the options available and how to seamlessly switch between them.
View XRAI Glass's Cloud Providers - Dialect Matters:
Another factor that significantly influences transcription accuracy is the dialect used. It's worth exploring the possibility of switching to a different dialect of the same language, as some users have reported improved performance when changing from British English to American English in varying cloud providers. The nuances in pronunciation and language structure can impact transcription accuracy, so finding the dialect that aligns best with the speaker(s)'s speech patterns is key.
For example based off feedback, we've discovered that users in the UK have experienced better transcription results when switching from British English to American English. This shift in dialect has proven to be a game-changer for many, showcasing the importance of exploring different settings to optimize your transcription experience. - Enhance Accuracy with a Portable Microphone:
To improve your transcription experience, it is highly recommended to use a portable microphone instead of relying on the phone's built-in speakerphone/microphone. We have found that using a portable microphone leads to greater accuracy, particularly with its built-in noise cancellation feature and the ability to control which speaker is being heard. Additionally, it allows you to minimize the interference caused by other speakers who may not be contributing to the conversation.
Placing the microphone on the table in front of you also provides the benefit of having the phone closer to you, eliminating the struggle of having others speak into your phone as you follow along.

We encourage you to explore changing cloud providers and consider experimenting with different dialect settings. Small adjustments can lead to significant improvements in the accuracy and overall performance of your transcription service.
By evaluating your current settings, exploring different cloud providers, and experimenting with dialect changes, you can tailor your transcription service to better suit your needs.
