Glossary · Transcription

Automatic transcription.

The conversion of spoken audio into searchable text using a speech-to-text (STT) model. Modern systems are neural; the dominant open model is OpenAI Whisper, which Screendog uses.

Why it matters for recordings

A 12-minute recording is opaque — you cannot ctrl-F it. A transcript turns the same recording into a searchable document. Both can be linked from a ticket; the engineer chooses which to consume.

Accuracy realism

Whisper is excellent on clear English audio. Heavy accents, cross-talk, music, and proper-noun product names degrade accuracy. The transcript is a hint, not a court record.

Frequently asked

Are non-English transcripts supported?

Whisper handles many languages; Screendog passes audio through and uses whatever language the model detects.
