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
文字出现有多快？
说话后几秒钟文字就会出现。处理音频时有轻微延迟，但足够快到跟随自然对话和做笔记。
与文件转录一样准确吗？
实时转录通常略低，因为无法使用未来上下文改进预测。但现代模型已大大改进，对于大多数用途足够准确。
需要什么设备？
只需麦克风和现代浏览器。笔记本内置麦克风可用于基本场景，但外置麦克风提供更好准确率。
可以转录Zoom通话吗？
NovaScribe从麦克风捕获音频。对于Zoom通话，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。
说话人识别有效吗？
实时说话人识别比文件转录更困难。需要准确说话人归属的场景建议录制后使用文件转录。
我的音频会被保存吗？
音频发送处理但不会永久存储。只有转录在您明确保存时才会保存。
Note: Real-time transcription accuracy depends on microphone quality, background noise, and speaking clarity. Results may vary from file-based transcription.
