Now let's know what is transcription software is. Before we dive into the tools, let's understand what transcription software actually is. Transcription tools convert audio or video into written text. It is simple as that, either automatically using AI or manually using human transcribers. Now you can use transcriptions for like adding subtitle to your YouTube videos or summarizing your meeting, documenting interviews or and so much more. Now let's explore each tool one by one and start with the most popular one which is Rev.com. So what is Rev.com? Rev offers both human transcriptions and AI-based transcription. It is known for high accuracy, especially if you choose human transcriptions. The main feature of this is you can hire someone to make you a real human to create transcription for you. Now, yeah, there is an option of AI transcription as well, but it is cheaper and faster. His accuracy is 80 to 90 percent. So you can go if you can compromise with accuracy, you can go with AI transcriptions. Now if you talk about speaker identification, it will label speaker automatically.

So yeah, you can choose and you can try out. If you found this Rev completely good, you can buy it. Now, if you talk about the advantages, so Rev.com provide human transcriptions. It's super accurate, but it is costly, but it is perfect for professional content like documentaries or business meetings. Downside is a bit expensive for long videos. AI transcription isn't accurate as Descript or Otter. So I think if you want to go with the AI, you should see other websites. But if you want like more accuracy with the human, you can check out, definitely check out Rev. Now, let's move on to the next software, which is, let's talk about Descript. If you ask what is Descript, Descript is an all-in-one tool for podcaster, video editor and YouTubers with powerful transcription, including like main features, like you can create transcription with the help using automatic transcription feature. It is very accurate and you can edit your audios as well by editing text. Yes, literally you can edit your audio by editing text. So yeah, remove, you can remove filler words like with one click.

Now if you talk about the advantages, the best I think I found which is best for content creator and you can edit like Google Docs as well and it is a very beginner friendly. It has a video editing tool built in the downside. Now ideal if you just want to play in text, needs a bit of time learn to interface. It's not that hard, but if you're a beginner, then it's okay. Now if you talk about the pricing, then just simply go into upgrade. You will get to see their pricing. So just wait a few seconds. So basically they have three plans, which is hobbyist, you will get, if you choose monthly, then you have to pay $24 and then if you choose annually, then you have to pay $12 a month. So you can compare, you can just simply click on the compare. You can compare these plans. If you found that this is worth it for you, you can use it. So let's jump into outer AI as you can see here. So what is outer AI? Outer is a transcription tool focused on real time note taking. It is great for meeting classes and team collaboration. I think the main feature of outer is a live transcription during meeting. You can create a real time transcription when you are in the meeting and you can recognize speaker as well and keyword highlights. It gives you highlights as well. Now it has summary plus key points generator automatically. It syncs with calendar to auto record meetings. So yeah, in order to use outer, what you have to do, just simply come on their website, which is outer.ai and just sign up with your credentials. Right now I have already logged in with outer. If you want to customize your own experience, what I will do, just simply choose manager. I will just choose randomly. So it will give you a dashboard after the signup. Now right now they are offering free trial for 14 days. I will just simply click on that. Try it now. So you have 14 days to trial. Okay, I need to buy. I think I prefer the basic plan. I think you need to buy a plan to get 14 days free trial of their advanced feature. Right now I don't need that. Let's create a simple transcribe. Now just simply you will get to see this kind of interface where you can import your audio as well. Like you can drag mp3, mp4a and all of the files. Right now I will choose this 11 laps, which I'm using. It will upload. Give one second and then click on the create transcribe, go to transcribe and it will take you to transcribe. As we can see here, he has created transcribe. Now if you want to use for the meeting, what you can do is just paste URL over here and record scheduled meeting. So you can choose AI note picker will join and record it automatically. You can choose when you want to join this meeting where I am the host meeting. I manually select meeting with video conference link so you can paste it link and just simply start recording and it will give you the live transcription. So the advantages are real time transcriptions best for student best for teams and interviews smart and search inside transcription downside is I think limited editing options you're not you're not the other AI is not flexible as descriptive, but yeah, he has some features and downside as well. Now let's jump into the other sonic transcribe creator. So what is Sonics? Sonic is web based transcription tool designed for speed, accuracy and supporting multiple languages. Now if you talk about the main feature of the Sonic, then the feature of it supports 30 languages. It has multiple speaker detection, it has auto punctuation and time spamming. You can browse in browser editor. You can access his browser editor and export to text, word and SRT. They have lots of you can export it into different different files as well. Now to use a Sonic, what you have to do is simply click on this try Sonics for free. It will take you to there. You have to create an account. Now what I will do, I will just simply add my personal details. So I think I have to select a plan to log in into Sonics. So it's kind of weird, to be honest. But yeah, if you talk about the advantages, I haven't used but yeah, it is faster and clean interface great for international content. It is no video editing feature is available in it. It doesn't offer human transcriptions. But I think this AI is not that good as compared to that three AIs which we have tested earlier. So I have created this table to compare each software. I think if you talk about the features, transcription types and the accuracy AI and the human accuracy, the video editing and real time notes, you can compare on this with the help of this table. So yeah, like which one should you pick if you want to, in my opinion, if you want human level accuracy for legal or medical files, you can go with the Rev. And if you want, like if you are a YouTuber or podcaster and want to edit audios by editing text, you can use Descript. And then if for the business team and classes or life making notes, you can use Otter AI. And if you want, if your work is multiple language and need something faster and clean, you can use Sonic AI. But I think Sonics doesn't give free trial. I don't know why they don't give, but that is. So let me know if in this comment section, which one is you are trying.
