Audio & video transcription using adaptive AI

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) uses artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and machine learning models to convert spoken language into written text. Verbit’s speech recognition technology, Captivate™ ASR, is trained on large, domain‑specific datasets to understand technical vocabulary, accents and context, delivering superior accuracy and adaptability compared to generic speech‑to‑text engines.

The accuracy of free AI transcription tools and generic speech-to-text tools for transcription varies. Many standard speech-to-text tools can’t deliver on the transcription accuracy needed for real-time speech-to-text. However, top AI transcription systems can reach 97–99%+ accuracy in optimal conditions. Domain‑trained models like Verbit Captivate™ offer strong results and a low word error rate for industry‑specific content due to its custom vocabulary support. Verbit reaches up to 99% accuracy rates with options for human review as well when needed, plus speaker diarization.
