Transcription and Subtitles You Can Trust
Turn speech into accurate transcripts and readable subtitles, and check them properly
A taste of a lesson
The AI transcript of my interview looks perfect. Do I really need to check it?
Yes, because errors hide in the places that matter most. A transcript can be 97 percent right and still misspell your guest's name, turn 'fifteen' into 'fifty', or drop a 'not'. Some tools also invent a phrase during silences. You do not need to check every word equally: listen at normal speed while reading, and focus on names, numbers, negatives and technical terms. Try it on the first five minutes. What is the one fact in this interview that would be most damaging to get wrong?
Written by the teacher as an example. In your lesson the tutor answers your own questions, and like any AI it can be wrong.

Subtitle conventions were clearly explained. My captions are much easier to read now. Would like help with translation subtitles.

Focusing on names, numbers and negatives made my review twice as fast. Found a 'can' that should have been 'can't' in a key quote.

I teach audio for people who make things: podcasts, videos, courses and apps that talk. I come from sound engineering and radio, so I start with the ear. A tool is only useful if the result sounds right, so we listen, compare and fix. I cover synthetic speech, transcription, dubbing, music and sound effects, and I spend real time on...
