What is Real-Time Transcription?

Real-time transcription converts speech to text as you speak, displaying words on screen with minimal delay. Unlike file-based transcription where you upload a recording, real-time transcription captures live audio from your microphone.

This is useful for taking notes during meetings, capturing thoughts as you speak, or creating content without typing. The text appears almost instantly as you talk.

NovaScribe's real-time mode uses Whisper-based technology for accurate speech recognition, supporting multiple languages with automatic detection.

Real-Time Transcription FAQ

テキストはどれくらい早く表示されますか?

テキストは話した数秒後に表示されます。音声処理中にわずかな遅延がありますが、自然な会話とノート取りに十分な速さです。

ファイル文字起こしと同じくらい正確ですか?

リアルタイム文字起こしは通常、将来のコンテキストを使って予測を改善できないため、若干精度が低くなります。しかし、最新のモデルは大幅に改善され、ほとんどの用途に十分です。

どんな機材が必要ですか?

マイクと最新のブラウザだけ。ノートPC内蔵マイクは基本的な使用に機能しますが、外部マイクはより良い精度を提供。

Zoom通話を文字起こしできますか?

NovaScribeはマイクから音声をキャプチャします。Zoom通話の場合、コンピュータのマイクを使ってスピーカーから音声をキャプチャできますが、結果はオーディオ設定によります。重要な会議には録画してファイル文字起こしを使用することをお勧めします。

話者識別は機能しますか?

リアルタイムでの話者識別はファイル文字起こしより難しいです。正確な話者属性が必要な場合は、録画してファイル文字起こしを使用してください。

音声は保存されますか?

音声は処理のために送信されますが、永久保存されません。文字起こしは明示的に保存した場合のみ保存されます。

Note: Real-time transcription accuracy depends on microphone quality, background noise, and speaking clarity. Results may vary from file-based transcription.
