Audio Transcription Services

What is audio transcription?

Audio transcription is the process of making sound and speech recognizable to applications such as chatbots and virtual assistant devices, using Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence models. Audio transcription models form the backbone of many applications that aim to mimic or augment human interaction. iMerit’s audio transcription specialists transform datasets in English and other languages into text that can be personalized to the point where an end-user may believe that they are communicating with a human on the other end.

Types of Audio Transcription

iMerit’s experts convert audio material into text and organize the information into formats that machines and computers can understand. The text data can then be labeled to cater to a client’s project needs, and tasks including Named Entity Recognition (NER) and Entity Classification, Sentiment and Topic Analysis, and Intent And Conversation Analysis are performed. iMerit’s team works with the client to calibrate their quality and throughput requirements and builds custom processes to support client needs.

Speech-to-text Automation

The results can then be used to train speech recognition and automatic transcription software that take the place of professional transcriptionists or 3rd party services such as Rev, Otter, Trint, Descript, and others. Customers can share audio data securely with iMerit by uploading audio files directly into the platform or through a designated digital dropbox.
