Though voice recognition software (described in prior posts) is getting better and more accurate all the time, it’s always a single trained voice that gets the best results. A multi-voice environment such as a podcast is one of those instances where a human needs to facilitate or perform the service, and that’s where realtime transcriptionists come in. Realtime transcripts can be streamed live at the time of the podcast or emailed later, they are searchable and can even be synched with the audio and/or video content.
