Tips for Optimal Voice Recognition: Clear Speech and Quality Audio (Full Transcript)

Speaker 1: If you want to get the best results while using voice recognition, then it's important to follow these steps. If you're transcribing the conversation in real time, make sure to speak clearly and try to stay close to the microphone. It's also important to reduce external noise. People chatting nearby or a friary engine can affect your results. The same applies to audio recordings. Use a high quality recording with little background noise and a clear voice. If your recording does have background noise, you can try editing the recording, reducing the noise and increasing the speaking volume using programs such as Audacity, which is a free tool, or Adobe Audition, professional but paid. If that's not possible, you may have to re-record the speaker more clearly, minimizing background sounds and getting the microphone as close to the speaker as possible. You can also try selecting the one speaker option, as sometimes it can have better results than multiple speakers. A good rule of thumb, if a human has trouble understanding what is being said, a computer will as well.
