Audio to Text software - a definition

 

You can read articles everywhere. They are in newspapers, magazines, on the Internet and even on your cell phone. A large degree of our communication, especially in a globalized sense, is based on written texts because they are accessible anytime and in any place with the help of the Internet. Especially when we connect that observation to our smartphones, we should soon discover that new texts reach us in every place. So there is no doubt about their importance for you daily communication. But what about creating them? As useful as they might be, after all, as difficult it can sometimes be to create them. You need to find the right structure so that you reader can understand you and you need of course the time to write them. That can sometimes take a lot of time to do so. Fortunately, there is a new software available on the market which can help you to write your texts. The Trint company has developed this software, and it enables you an audio transcription. Audio transcription, what is that exactly? You can easily find out what is that supposed to mean when you look at the two expressions integrated within it.

 

First of all, there is the term "audio." That word is commonly used especially in the field of technology. It has its origins in Latin and means "related to sound." So you can think of that term that it includes all sorts of information which have to do with processing sounds.

 

Secondly, you have to focus on the term "transcription." We have to differentiate between two parts here. The first one is "trans" and the second one comes from the Latin word for "encryption." "Trans" means that you connect two items with each other. So there is a movement or some development from A to B. "Encryption" means that you write something down in another form as was the case before your process of writing. That means you use, for example, another type of writing or letters. So the message you wrote down transgresses from one system to another. Exactly that is the way audio transcription is supposed to work.

 

To sum it all up, audio transcription means that you "translate" speech files inserted into this program to written text. You could regard its functionality as some dictation machine which automatically writes down everything it hears.

 

But what is the particular use of such software at all?

 

You can answer that question when you think about the amount of time you can save by using it. Above all, you have to think about the fact that writing takes a lot longer than just speaking points out. That is even truer for longer messages you want to deliver to your opposite, which is often the case when you are in a job situation where you need to convince a customer to buy your product, or you present a new marketing strategy to your boss. Of course, those are just two small examples of situations where there is the need to hold a more or less long speech. Now just think about a presentation that you need to write down. Even a performance that takes only five minutes to say will need way more time to write down. So if you could skip that writing process somehow and only write your texts by just saying them, then you can easily imagine that you can save an enormous amount of time by using this software.

 

And why should I have the need to save time, my boss pays me one way or another?

 

Yes, that might be true, but just take a small moment and think about your productivity at work. If you have the option to produce more texts in less time, then you have more time to think about other important matters which could bolster your efforts at work. By the way, it does not matter if you are a writer or web designer or whatever. The crucial thing is that you save time and it makes your work matter much more because you do not need to spend your time doing tedious work like writing something down. Instead, you can focus on the content and realize all your great ideas. So you can make use of your creativity way better, and you and your boss might love your work even more!
