Recording & transcription
How transcription works, and how fast it is
Speech recognition turns a recording into searchable text on your device.
Echo Chamber transcribes speech on your device. The speech engine available to you depends on your hardware, operating system, language, and installed models.
A clear recording gives the recognizer more to work with. Noise, distance from the microphone, accents, technical terms, and overlapping speech can all affect the transcript. Listen back to important passages before using them.
Speed depends on your device and the length of the recording, but short notes are usually ready the moment you stop, and longer recordings finish processing quickly in the background.
No transcription is perfect, especially with names, jargon, crosstalk, or background noise. You can fix any word by editing the transcript, and Custom Vocabulary helps the engine get specialized terms right.
