How do I create a transcript?

Do it yourself

Each sentence in your video or audio file must be listened carefully and reproduced in the same way on paper, it is literally "transcribed". In this way, you have to make sure that you translate existing dialects into German standards as accurately as possible. If there are interruptions such as sentence breaks, stutters, or word duplications, these will be omitted from the transcript.

Commissioning someone

You may want to have your transcript written by someone else. This is one of the most expensive options, but this way you don't have to do the process by yourself.

Use a transcription program

If you search for a transcription program in Google, you will find numerous suggestions. These programs transcribe using artificial intelligence. Of course, this is not much of a hassle, but the transcript may be incorrect and will require a lot of time and patience to fix.

Solution - alugha

The speech-to-text transcription by alugha is very good. For example, punctuation marks are correctly placed in the text and the transcript correction is clear and not time-consuming, thanks to the user-friendly interface. You can divide the text into 30 second sections. If there are any errors, you can fix them in seconds. In addition, alugha has a huge advantage over other transcription programs: you have the subtitles to your video or audio file correctly revised and can therefore have your video translated directly into another language. This is how you get more reach (with your video or audio) and allows you to increase your audience. If you don't speak your new language of choice or you are not sure about one or the other word, it is possible to get help by alugha. Maybe one of your friends is particularly good at French and you want your video or audio track to go viral in France, then invite them to collaborate.  You can also download your transcript as WebVTT, SRT or Plain Text.
