FAQ
Does audio quality influence the quality of transcription?
Yes. Audio recording quality has a serious impact on the resulting quality of transcription. To achieve the best results while recording, make sure there are no background noises and that all speakers talk directly to the microphone (it is not sufficient to just place a phone on a desk etc.).
What influences the quality of automatic recognition of speakers and speaker segmentation?
As with the quality transcription, it depends on the quality of the recording, the amount of background noise/music, whether the speakers interrupt one another, or how often they pause during their speech.
How to make an optimal recording?
Record in an environment with as few distractions as possible and speak into the recording device or microphone up close. If you are going to make a recording on a mobile phone, you need to speak into it directly as if you were making a phone call. Each speaker should have their own microphone and speakers should try not to interrupt each other much.
Which audio and video formats are supported by Beey?
Beey supports the vast majority of commonly used audio and video formats. Besides the file extension, also the video codec type and other technical parameters decide whether the file can be transcribed. For optimal results, we recommend the following settings:
– MP4, MP3, WAV, AAC (MP4 audio), VORBIS or OPUS file
– H.264 video codec
– fragmented MP4(streaming media format)
– constant framerate and bitrate (as high as possible, at least 128 kbps)
– ideally in mono mode (Beey merges stereo recordings into one channel anyway)
How to convert my recording to the correct format?
The most common cause of recording processing errors is having an incorrect video codec type.
How do I set the parameters correctly when recording?
A recording’s optimal sample rate should be 16 kHz. If you set a higher frequency, the transcription quality will not improve by much but your recording will be unnecessarily large. The second key parameter is the recording’s bitrate. Set this to the highest value possible – at least 128 kb/s. Ideally, select mono mode as well.
How do I test that my video is in the required format?
If you want to quickly and easily verify that your video is in the correct format, see if it can be opened in your Chrome browser. Just drag and drop your file into the browser window or on the Chrome icon on your desktop. If the file starts playing, Beey will probably process it without any problems.
What is the maximum length of recording for transcription?
The maximum length of a recording you can transcribe is 6 hrs. However, it is recommended to transcribe longer recordings in 2-hour long segments or shorter. Longer and/or larger files may cause processing errors or slower application responses.
What should I do if Beey says “The project is queued for transcription” but I don’t have any other ongoing transcription?
There is probably a processing error in the previous project that blocks further transcription. If the previous project keeps loading or reporting an error, deleting it should clear the transcription queue.
