Tips & Best Practices

Improve Transcription Accuracy

  1. Use better models: medium or large models are significantly more accurate than base
  2. Specify language: Auto-detect is less accurate than specifying
  3. Enable stable timestamps: VAD mode gives more precise timing
  4. Audio preprocessing: Pro users can use audio enhancement to reduce noise
  5. Avoid overlapping speech: Multiple speakers talking simultaneously reduces accuracy
