Transcribing content has always been very effective and helpful, and if it’s done right, it can bring in some amazing potential. With that being said, the reality is that transcription services will be more and more necessary in the years to come, for businesses, but also for regular users. However, we also need to understand that a transcription isn’t really done the way we used to do it a decade or so ago. Things have changed, and that’s exciting, because it does offer a unique approach and perspective on how a Zoom transcription will be done in the future.
Using AI for transcriptions will become the norm
Of course, manually checking the result will still be a necessity, to ensure everything is 100% accurate. But there’s no denying that AI transcriptions are very good to begin with, and they are extremely fast. Sure, some tools right now are not very accurate. However, that is going to change sooner rather than later. And that’s certainly something that we have to expect, especially when it comes to the long term.
AI will be used to generate the first iteration of the transcription and then humans can try and do some quality control or industry optimization. However, we do expect to see less and less of a human touch in these situations as time goes by. It’s an interesting opportunity and one that can provide some exciting benefits for all users.
Specialized transcription services are on the rise
The truth is that specialization is going to be a crucial part of the transcription world. And it’s easy to see why, general transcriptions might be ok for some, but niches have specific words and jargon that can lead to a bad transcription if it’s not done correctly. That’s why niche expertise will certainly become a crucial part of the process, especially when it comes to niches like medical, law, educational and many others. Moreover, we can also expect niche-specific tools to appear for transcriptions as well, and that’s certainly a major part of the process at this particular time.
More focus on data privacy and security
These transcriptions are very important and many times, confidential. You are handling a lot of data that shouldn’t be in the praying hands of someone else, so that alone is extremely important. And on top of that, we expect more complex security measures to appear, which will help assist with this type of issue.
There is also another facet to this, more specifically there are regulations like HIPAA or GDPR which will require the transcriptions to meet legal standards. We expect these to become a lot more stringent in the long term, and new requirements to arise. Since transcription data is confidential, any data leak can be very problematic. That’s why the AI and any software used for transcriptions needs to have a healthy upgrade from a security standpoint, so any of the data processed and the output should never be accessed by anyone else aside from those people that need to access it.
Multilingual transcription
These days, companies have multilingual teams, and transcribing just to a single language is not enough. Preparing a Zoom transcription for a single language might actually not solve the issue. The best approach is to have a multilingual transcription system. Thankfully, AI can be educated and versed in multiple languages.
It will lead to a better Zoom transcription for any language, and those transcriptions can be processed a lot quicker. That truly helps convey a very good value for money, and the total return on investment is second to none. In addition to that, you will appreciate the fact that AI can become more and more versed in cultural nuances. That leads to more accurate and detailed transcriptions regardless of the niche.
Real time transcriptions
There is a clear demand of not just having access to a Zoom transcription later on. Instead, you want to have access to that in real time. And it can be difficult to achieve that without the right tools. The advantage of AI is that it can offer you that transcription in real time, and it does bring in a select number of solutions for that.
While the technology is still receiving ongoing improvements, it has become quite good and you can obtain real time transcriptions. That alone can be a game changer and the fact that there are so many unique benefits and ideas here is what sets it all apart. With that being said, the quality of this entire process is quite exhilarating, and you do have access to detailed transcriptions that are all very powerful. As time will go by, we expect real-time transcriptions to be even more accurate and complex.
Enhanced understanding of the context
One of the few places where AI can improve their overall transcription output is the understanding of the context. A lot of the time, a lack of understanding can lead to low quality results especially when it comes to figuring out the context and learning more about it. With that being said, we should note the fact that AI is getting better at learning the context of a Zoom transcription before sharing any output. That will help improve the result offered via a transcription, while still ensuring you get it quickly and without any downsides. That’s impressive and a clear sign of things to come.
There’s no denying that AI will play a major role when it comes to the future of transcription services. It will take time until we reach a point where we can rely 100% on AI to transcribe everything, but we are a lot closer than you might expect. It’s safe to say that most of us are very excited about what the future holds, and we hope that transcriptions will be easier and quicker to do. As far as we can see, AI-based transcriptions are the future, and humans can touch things up and add more context to make them ready for prime time!
