The human ear is still a lot more accurate than AI transcription
In more recent years, the quality in artificial intelligence-driven transcription services has improved considerably. For example, between 2016-2017, Microsoft reported it had reduced its error rate by 12%, which puts the accuracy of its automated transcriptions currently at 94.9%. Automated transcription is where the video or audio file is converted into text file by voice recognition software.
