MP3 to Text Conversion FAQ

Quali qualità MP3 sono supportate?

NovaScribe elabora file MP3 di qualsiasi qualità — da memo vocali a 64kbps a registrazioni studio a 320kbps. Sia CBR (bitrate costante) che VBR (bitrate variabile) sono supportati. Qualità più alta generalmente produce risultati di trascrizione migliori.

C'è una dimensione massima del file?

La dimensione massima dipende dal tipo di account. Gli utenti gratuiti possono caricare file fino a una certa dimensione, mentre gli utenti premium possono elaborare file più grandi. Per registrazioni molto lunghe, puoi anche dividere il file.

Quanto è precisa la trascrizione MP3?

Con registrazioni chiare e poco rumore di fondo, raggiungiamo alta precisione, paragonabile alla trascrizione umana. La qualità dipende dalla chiarezza dell'audio, numero di parlanti e rumore di fondo. Il nostro editor permette correzioni rapide.

Posso trascrivere più file MP3 insieme?

Sì, puoi caricare più file e metterli in coda. Ogni file viene elaborato in ordine, e ricevi notifiche quando le trascrizioni sono pronte.

Vengono generati i timestamp?

Sì, NovaScribe genera automaticamente timestamp per l'intera trascrizione. Puoi scegliere tra diversi intervalli di timestamp — parola per parola, frase per frase o per cambio di parlante.

Funziona con file MP3 compressi?

Sì, anche i file MP3 fortemente compressi sono supportati. La qualità della trascrizione è migliore con audio di qualità superiore, ma anche memo vocali a bassa compressione danno risultati utilizzabili.

Note: Transcription accuracy depends on audio quality, background noise, speaker clarity, and accents. MP3 compression may affect results compared to lossless formats.
