Speaker 1: Hi guys, this is Fei Wu from FaceWorld Podcast. I am so excited here to share a new transcription service called Sonics.ai. Actually, the CEO reached out to me on LinkedIn. I actually ignored it for a few weeks and signed up for it myself. It's actually very affordable for a podcaster. And as you can see on Sonics.ai, you can actually get 30 minutes free trial. But if you use the link that I'm including right below in the description area, you actually get 100 minutes for free. It is a referral link. When you get 100 minutes, I do as well. So let me go ahead and share with you how it works. So since I have an account, I will sign in. And as you can see, I already translated a bunch of mp3s. As a podcaster, what's appealing about the service is that it's affordable. It's $60 a year, at least when I signed up a few months back. And per new episode for every 60 minutes, I believe it's $5. So versus what you typically get an hour of transcription done and verified by a human being is about a dollar a minute. So if you're like me doing recordings for an hour at a time, that is $60. And when you think about the fact that I have 150 episodes right now, you're looking at 10s of 1000s of dollars. So I'm going to use an example that I just uploaded. And it's the one the episode with John Haggerty is the latest one that we have as you're listening to this. I'm not going to go through all the crazy amount of details of this. Instead, I'll focus on the ones that will most likely use on a regular basis. But what's interesting is that as you can see their controls over your mp3. So if you want to start from the beginning, you can definitely do that. But if you want to skip over, or slow it down or turn it up, it's great to one thing that I love about the transcription is that it gives you a confidence or I guess the confidence color. So you click on that it will show you where some of the yellow confidence are things that you might want to pay attention to and correct and that this is very helpful for me to kind of jump around and see where I am generally speaking. And when you first get the transcription, I'll actually give you a little report to in terms of quality and you can pop that up again under the quality menu. It tells you in terms of the confidence level. So the one with John Haggerty is not bad because John is a Broadway actor. I think some of the less confident scores actually came from me who's in first language isn't English. But John's English is not only good, but also very clear due to his training. So what I want to jump forward to at this point is to show you one of my favorite features I discovered today, which is to how to embed a little window on your website. So if you're like me who have a website just for the podcast, here you are. Just click on the embed and you can actually make notes visible. But in this case, I don't is you can copy this little embed code and then drop it on your website. Everything is built using Squarespace, as you can see over here. And what you will do, I know many of you guys also use Squarespace, is that you simply look for the code on this little bracket here, and then you drop that exact code in there. And once you save it, you know, it will show up as an embedded script, but it will not show in the preview mode. What I then did was I go to my actual site, John Haggerty, actor, link, and I'm going to scroll all the way to the bottom where you can see the default view is what you're seeing right here. It starts a transcript at the very beginning. And what I love about this feature is that you can see the minute mark. By the way, you do have to insert these titles here, Fei Wu, John Haggerty. These did not come with a transcript because obviously, it doesn't know who is speaking and who these two people are, their names and so forth. It only recognized the words I can hear from the beginning. So I love these minute marks. And I love the fact that all the controllers are still here, all the you know, fast forward back volume. But look, if I want to jump right to a word. And I can jump to another word. I absolutely love this feature here. And for me to kind of jump around, I can imagine I don't know if the search actually works here. Assume probably not. But actually it does. Interesting. So I guess for the text that's visible to the user, if you want to search for something that also works. Another area is the download. So upper right hand corner of the transcription from Sonix, it gives you the options to download. You can download the audio or you can download the PDF. So the PDF actually looks pretty good. I will try to show you guys an example. This one just got downloaded, has a logo, has the name of your mp3, the duration of it, the two speakers. Yay. And again, this is just a PDF. Yeah, there's that. And of course, last but not least, you have a share link that you can share directly to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and email. I haven't I haven't really imagined using this as much just yet. But actually, it's probably not a bad idea. Let's actually see what this link does. So let me pop over to Okay, this link actually just shares your episode. It's not necessary sharing the PDF or just Sonix. So very cool. That concludes a very brief overview of this. If you have any feedback on how you like the service or something you don't like about it, please share in the comments below. Thank you.
