How does SmartyMeet transcribe speech-to-text?

SmartyMeet is cloud-based and 100% AI-powered, with no human transcribers involved. Our speech-to-text engine supports English and works out of the box without requiring hours of personalized training with your voice. Our speaker identification algorithm is powered by advanced machine learning that distinguishes and learns from just a few paragraphs you tag to create a voiceprint for each speaker.

How accurate is SmartyMeet speech recognition?

SmartyMeet provides the most accurate automated transcription for meetings.

How to increase speech accuracy

To increase the accuracy of SmartyMeet transcription, follow these best practices:

  • Try to minimize background noise. Background noise is generally the biggest factor in inaccurate transcriptions or missing audio. If SmartyMeet cannot distinguish what is being said because there is too much background noise, it may result in inaccuracies or the audio not being transcribed at all.
  • Avoid overlapping dialog where speakers talk over one another. SmartyMeet will not be able to distinguish when multiple people are speaking over each other, which may result in inaccuracies or the audio not being transcribed at all.
  • Use an external microphone or headset, rather than your computer or device's built-in microphone. See Using a headset or headphones about the limitations of using a headset.
  • Place the microphone within three feet from the person speaking and refrain from moving or touching the device to avoid any unnecessary background noise.
  • Speak clearly and naturally, at your normal conversational tone and pace.
