What is Live Transcription?
Live transcription converts your speech into written text in real-time. Instead of uploading a recording after the fact, you speak directly into your microphone and see your words appear on screen as you talk.
This is ideal for capturing ideas quickly, taking notes during meetings, or creating drafts without typing. The transcription happens instantly in your browser—no waiting for processing.
For transcribing existing recordings, see our audio transcription and video to text tools instead.

Live Transcription FAQ
文字出现有多快？
说话后几秒钟文字就会出现在屏幕上。AI处理音频时有轻微延迟，但足够快到可以跟随自然对话并实时做笔记。
需要安装什么吗？
不需要，实时转录直接在您的网络浏览器中运行。只需要麦克风和现代浏览器（Chrome、Firefox、Safari、Edge）。无需下载、插件或技术设置。
能用于Zoom等虚拟会议吗？
NovaScribe从您的麦克风捕获音频。要转录Zoom或其他平台的会议，可以使用电脑麦克风捕获扬声器音频，但效果取决于音频设置。重要会议建议录制后使用文件转录。
实时转录有多准确？
实时转录通常比文件转录略低，因为无法使用未来上下文来改进预测。但现代模型已经大大改进。对于大多数实际用途，准确率足以做笔记和提供无障碍服务。
需要什么设备？
只需要麦克风和现代浏览器。笔记本内置麦克风可用于基本场景，但外置USB麦克风或耳机能捕获更清晰的音频，显著提高准确率。
可以用于多人会议吗？
可以，但实时说话人识别比录音文件更困难。多人场景建议使用中央麦克风捕获所有人。需要准确说话人归属的会议建议录制后使用文件转录。
Note: Live transcription accuracy depends on microphone quality and ambient noise. For best results, use a quiet environment.
