How to Start a Transcription Job
Find the Go to transcript action on a clip thumbnail and click it.
To start a batch job, select several clips simultaneously. Then, locate and click the Transcription icon in the top toolbar to open the configuration dialogue for all selected media.
In the dialogue box that appears, select the first option to begin your automatic transcription. You can also use the Advanced Options to refine your results:
Remove Disfluencies: Automatically strip out filler words like "uhm" or "uh." NOTE: This is only available for English.
Adjust Speaker Sensitivity: Set this to High for many speakers or Low if there are only a few speakers.
Quality Control and improve the AI generated transcript in the Limecraft Transcript Editor.
