"Quality of transcript much lower than …"

Quality of transcript much lower than expected.

"Best automated transcript service I …"

Best automated transcript service I have ever used. Some of the more esoteric references stump the software, but overall I am very happy with the results I have gotten.

"You can't beat this service for the price!"

You can't beat this service for the price. You WILL have to go in an edit afterwards because the machine isn't by any means perfect, but if I provide a quality audio recording for it to work with, the editing time was minimal. I remove all music and just send pure vocal, which I imagine helps.

I have a podcast and like to provide a time stamped transcript. It would be unaffordable for me to use a human transcriber, so I am thrilled with Temi!

"Very valuable for high quality …"

Very valuable for high quality recordings. Pretty accurate and insanely cheap rate. For multiple voices and not so good quality it's not worth even the really cheap price. Use Rev.com when you have many voices or poor quality audio, but Temi.com is awesome if you have just one or two people on a good quality recording.

"Quality / Accuracy not there yet even for single voice dictation"

I have done several transcripts with Temi, it's very fast turnaround and the editing environment has some interesting functionality but it's not useful for multi-party conversations and only somewhat useful to capture one side of a conversation (e.g. a Q&A where Q and A are in separate channels). Still a very high error rate compared to human (e.g. Rev.com). I continue to experiment with it but cannot recommend it a this time.

"Great concept, but not there yet"

It's a great concept and might be helpful in locating sections of interviews that the writer wants to go back and transcribe themselves, but the actual text sent back was hilariously off.

"A secret weapon for my business"

I love Temi and consider it a secret weapon. I run a film production company and use it for almost every project. It allows me to quickly and easily move around material to do paper edits for our films. It also allows me to share raw material with clients, editors, writers, and other producers. It is extremely cost effective, especially in consideration of the immense amount of time it saves me on every project.

"Cool idea, needs a little more machine-learning along the way"

Super-cool idea, and way cheaper than person-based transcription, but def takes effort to review/edit the transcription (though less than fully transcribing the original audio). Would be better if there was account-specific machine learning, so that I could upload a reviewed document and have the system learn from its initial mistakes. (e.g., the acroynym NASDDDS kept coming out as "nasty's" -- that would be an easy fix).

"While it was SUPER easy to order and …"

While it was SUPER easy to order and load transcripts I found it frustrating to do it a single transcript at a time rather than in bulk and also the transcripts were unreliable and did not capture the correct language well.

"Not a great product"

Not a great product. I am not surprised, because many people have tried ASR and its a difficult thing to do well.

Thanks,
