Regions & Dialects Supported

Choosing English as the audio language
Leave Auto-detect on for English-only files. Choose English explicitly if the recording starts with music, silence or a greeting in another language, which can throw detection off.
Reviewing a English transcript
Most remaining errors are proper nouns, acronyms and domain jargon. Skim names and numbers against your notes before publishing a quote.
