Bynder can automatically generate transcripts for audio and video assets in your Bynder DAM via Speech-to-Text. This feature automatically converts audio content for multiple languages into text (transcriptions), making these assets easily searchable. Users can locate keywords or phrases in videos and audio files without manually adding individual tags. Clicking a word in the generated transcript will play the media from that specific location. In addition, you can improve the accessibility of your content by adding closed captions to your videos.

Confidence Score
Transcripts will not be shown if their confidence score is less than 50 out of 100
A confidence score indicates the accuracy of a transcript. See below for some of the factors that can affect the confidence score:
- Audio Quality: The audio input quality can significantly affect the confidence score. Clear, noise-free audio produces higher confidence, while poor quality or loud background audio results in lower scores.
-
Speaker Variability: If multiple speakers are in the audio, this can lower the confidence score, as distinguishing between different voices can be challenging.
- Currently, single-language identification is supported. The predominant language will be transcribed if two languages are spoken in the media.
- Language Complexity: Complex vocabulary, accents, and dialects can impact the confidence score. Uncommon or technical terms may lead to lower scores.
