Transcriptions

As part of postprocessing, Sapling offers the ability to process speech transcriptions.

Speech-to-text (STT), also known as automatic speech recognition (ASR) or speech transcription, has become highly accurate and a convenient way to convert the spoken word to written notes. It can be used in hands-free settings or as a faster alternative to typing.

However, transcription systems often introduce artifacts and other undesirable outputs in the resulting transcription. A few examples:

• Disfluencies such as uhh or umm.
• Dictation commands such as new line, quote, period, or next paragraph.
• Blocks of text without structured formatting.

For these and other transcription issues, Sapling offers postprocessing configurations that can greatly reduce manual editing required. Contact us to learn more.
