Why This Happens

  • Audio Quality Issues: Poor audio quality, such as background noise or low volume, can hinder accurate transcription.
  • Language Support: Ensure ScreenApp.io supports the language in your audio file.
  • Technical Glitches: Temporary issues with ScreenApp.io's transcription engine might be causing the problem.

How to Resolve It

  1. Improve Audio Quality:
    • Record in a quiet environment to minimize background noise.
    • Use a high-quality microphone for clearer audio.
    • Ensure your microphone is selected correctly and adjusted to appropriate volume levels.
  2. Check Language Support: Verify if ScreenApp.io supports the language spoken in your audio file. If not, consider using a third-party transcription service.
  3. Review Transcription Settings: Check if there are any specific settings or limitations related to transcription within ScreenApp.io.
  4. Try a Different File: Upload a different audio file to see if the issue is specific to the particular recording.
  5. Contact Support: If you've tried the above steps and are still experiencing issues, reach out to ScreenApp.io's support team for assistance.

Additional Tips

  • Keep Recordings Short: Shorter recordings are generally easier to transcribe accurately.
  • Avoid Background Noise: Minimize distractions during recording to improve audio clarity.
  • Use Clear and Concise Language: Speaking clearly and avoiding jargon can enhance transcription accuracy.
