Using it for The Startup Chat podcast with Steli & Hiten. The $1.50 option is awesome. Tried plenty of other services in the past and this is by far the best. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks for the hunt @vu0tran!
Hey all! I'm a co-founder at Jotengine. My co-founder @skandermz and I built Jotengine to make our conversations more productive. Remembering things is hard, and taking notes is no fun. Anyone who's sat down and transcribed a file knows how time consuming it can be. We found existing options out there slow, expensive, and counterintuitive to use.
That's why we built Jotengine, a faster, simpler transcription service with productivity in mind. Most transcripts, human or machine, are rarely perfect. Lots of services advertise 98% accuracy, but it's the last 2% that wastes your time. The transcript editor lets you quickly listen, search, and edit audio so you can get back to doing your real work faster.
Happy to answer any questions!
@cindywu@skandermz Definitely! In fact we built our system with that in mind. We're both multi-lingual so we know from first hand experience that there aren't many good non-English transcription options out there.
The best thing about Jotengine is it saves me time. We do a lot of interviews with scientists for our scientist stories series (https://medium.com/this-is-an-ex...). Because of Jotengine I can do a 15 minute phone interview, immediately upload the audio file, go to lunch, and come back with a complete transcript. It is magic. The accuracy is also 💯. After we get a transcript back, it usually takes another 30 minutes to fix areas where audio as unclear and edit for clarity before publication.
For a 15 minute interview from recording to publication on our blog, it take approximately 2 hours of human time. You can't create great content online much faster than that.
@gustavlrsn Thanks Gustav! No kidding - we actually did it by hand when we started out. It took us 8 hours for every 1 hour of audio. We actually initially built a free DIY transcription tool to make it go faster: https://jotengine.com/diy. Hopefully we can save you time in the future!
I've used JotEngine over a dozen times and my favorite feature is the ability to go in and edit the docs, alongside the transcribers -- that's definitely something unique I haven't seen with any other service, and I'm sure they'll continue to roll out more features like that.
@susanfsu Thanks Susan, that means a lot! We're looking forward to making even more useful in the future.
Report
Beyond the quick turn-around and high quality, I always thought this product stood out because of their transcript viewer. It makes it way easier to find something which was said and jump back to it.
@rhs Sure! We try to automate away anything that machines can do well, and humans do the rest. Transcription is actually made of smaller problems — detecting speech, labeling speakers, audio to text, etc. We use a bunch of tools for each task, some of it is custom on top of open source (Kaldi - http://kaldi-asr.org/ for example), but we also use other services/APIs, and of course the humans come in at the end. We want to abstract everything away and just find the best option out there, so that we can provide a great user experience.
