What is Real-Time Transcription?
How It Works
Real-time transcription uses streaming speech-to-text models that process audio in small chunks as it arrives. Each chunk is analyzed and converted to text within milliseconds, providing a continuous text stream that keeps pace with the speaker.
This requires efficient AI models optimized for low latency. Whisper processes audio locally on your device to minimize delay and ensure privacy.
