By transcribing your content you can turn the spoken word (audio) into text which enables you to do all sorts of things with it, from turning an interview into text automatically, to adding metadata to your archive to make it searchable on word level or to create subtitles to make your video’s better accessible.

When we transcribe your content, we mark each word with a timestamp containing a start- and end time in milliseconds. This way we know exactly where in the video the word was spoken. With this information we can create subtitles that are aligned perfectly to the audio from your video. For this we apply standard parameter settings applied by Netflix for example, but you can adjust these parameters yourself too.

For batch processing turnaround time is about 1:3

For real-time processing turnaround time is 0 seconds

Transcript editor

We offer two subscriptions that can be purchased online on our website: Individual and Team

Individual: €25 per month, enables you to transcribe 5 hours of content (so €5 per hour)

Team: €99 per month, enables you to transcribe 24 hours of content (so +/-€4 per hour)

Apart from the online subscriptions we offer Enterprise agreements for costumers looking to transcribe at least 10.000 minutes per month. These agreements start at €500 per month for 10.000 minutes minimum (so €3 per hour). The larger the volumes the lower the price per hour will be. Get in touch with sales to learn more, send an email to [email protected].

 Yes, we apply speaker diarization that enables you to identify different speakers (and whether a male or female is speaking) automatically.

Yes, we do, and we apply speaker diarization to make sure these different speakers are separated properly. Bear in mind though that the more speakers are involved in a recording the greater the risk of crosstalk becomes. With crosstalk accuracy can drop dramatically. When using batch processing check if your files have different channels for the different speakers and enable multichannel processing to reduce the issue of crosstalk.

Yes, we add timestamps to each word with a start- and end time in milliseconds as well as a confidence score (ranging from 0-1 with 1 being 100% confident).

To improve the output of the transcript you can use our transcript editor and make corrections. To improve the quality of the automatically generated output you will need help from Scriptix engineers. We update our generic models regularly, but if you need a custom language model that better fits your specific sector/use case make sure to reach out so we can explain how we can help. Send us an email at [email protected].

For batch processing the time it takes to transcribe a file lies roughly within the range of 1:3. The time depends also on traffic on our platform at the specific moment as well as file size. Larger files usually process faster as we automatically scale our platform in that case so we can cover more data more quickly.

You can either download your transcript in Doc format directly from our platform or integrate our API-platform and retrieve JSON-results automatically.

Caption editor

We currently support the following subtitle formats for you to download: SRT, VTT, TTML and SBV.

Do you miss a specific file format here? Get in touch and we will make sure to put your request on our roadmap. Send an email to: [email protected].

The subtitle output does not include timestamps on word level, the original JSON-output does, however. We use that output to create subtitles with the right default parameters to make sure all segments are aligned properly with your video. Moreover, you are also able to edit these parameters like maximum duration, maximum silence, maximum characters, or words.

Your files will be stored on our Azure cloud infrastructure which runs in North-western Europe and Ireland. As such your data is protected under GDPR-regulations and will not leave the EU.

When integrated with our API-platform you can stream (real-time processing) or process in batches as much audio as necessary. Get in touch with sales via [email protected] to get a quote for your specific load, we offer high volume prices for archives.

After processing we will delete all your files from our platform, while in transit we apply encryption to keep your data safe. Moreover, our infrastructure runs on Azure Cloud in North-western Europe and Ireland, your data does not leave the EU and is protected under GDPR-regulation.

Some of our partners resell Scriptix to their end users. For this we offer a reseller agreement and platform that enables you to create separate accounts for your end users in order to keep track of usage properly.

API & Customization

It’s always difficult to put a number on the accuracy of speech recognition. It depends on quality of the audio and the data set used to build the speech recognition engine. On average our speech recognition models can reach 90+% accuracy with clear speech (meaning no crosstalk, clear audio without background noises).

Customization can greatly improve accuracy however, because in that case we would be training a model solely on data relevant to a clients’ use case. After all, a conversation between a lawyer and his client are very different than that between a doctor and his patient. By applying customization, you limit the choice for the model to make and thus you limit the possibility for it to make mistakes. Generic models are fed with as much data as possible, therefore the model has many options to choose from and therefore there is more room for error.

Yes, a speech recognition model is made up out of an Acoustic model and a Lexicon. To the lexicon, different relevant terminology can be added. Get in touch via [email protected] to discuss possibilities.

We apply speaker diarization to detect multiple speakers in an audio file.

Yes, you can upload the pre-recorded files on our platform using batch processing.

Yes, if you connect to our real-time API’s you can process in real-time by offering a PCM/WAV stream to our platform. You will get results back immediately.

Yes, we offer the possibility of our real-time engines as a hosted solution. Get in touch with sales to learn more, drop an email at [email protected].

Privacy

No, we are not ISO-certified but take all necessary measures to keep your data safe. Most importantly, we do not store any data from our Enterprise customers. We delete everything right after processing and apply encryption while in transit.

Digital accessibility

Digital Accessibility is a general term for all measures taken by companies and institutions to make their products, websites, platforms etc. better digitally accessible for people with disabilities.

No, at Scriptix we focus on our mission to make the spoken word accessible to everybody. To that end our primary focus is on becoming the #1 provider of speech recognition models. We do however collaborate with partners that specialize in other accessibility services. Check our website for more use cases or get in touch with sales to learn more. Send an email to: [email protected].

WCAG 2.1 stands for Website Content Accessibility Guidelines. These guidelines, amongst other things, state that content on websites should be subtitles to make it better accessible for people suffering from hearing loss. Governments, but also companies, in many countries worldwide are legally obligated to adhere to these guidelines. Using Scriptix speech recognition can help them automate the process of subtitling all that content automatically.
