Does anyone know if it supports multiple languages for transcription? That would be a game changer for me.
ChatGPT sometimes gets confused if the transcript has multiple speakers. Anyone else noticed that?
Honestly, I feel like dedicated transcription apps still beat ChatGPT for pure transcription but combining them is pretty powerful.
I've seen some folks mention you can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools that might help with transcription stuff.
Is there a way to speed up the process? Transcribing long videos manually is a pain.
Does anyone have tips on how to get better accuracy? Like how to prepare the video or audio?
I actually synced a video with ChatGPT generated subtitles and it was surprisingly decent for a quick project.
I've tried it a bit, and while it works okay for clear audio, it struggles with background noise or accents. Not perfect but good enough for rough drafts.
Sometimes the transcription gets weird with homophones or unclear phrases, so double check the output!
For anyone new, just remember ChatGPT doesn't listen to videos directly. You gotta provide text input for it to work.
I tried feeding video audio directly but ChatGPT can’t process audio files. You gotta convert speech to text first.
I mostly use it to generate summaries from video transcripts rather than the transcription itself. It's pretty solid for that purpose.
I use ChatGPT mainly to paraphrase lines from the transcript to make it sound more natural in subtitles.
Any free ways to do a quick transcription before cleaning with ChatGPT?
I heard some transcription AI can struggle with technical jargon, does ChatGPT help with that?
