That’s a massive shame, and Braina should seriously consider offering audio file processing as one of the standard features with timecode and the ability to generate formatted subtitle files. The downside to using this solution to transcribe recordings is that it doesn’t timecode the words or identify the speaker, so it can’t be practically used for creating video subtitles or any work that requires a breakdown of when phrases were said. This ability for Braina to improve its model by listening is spectacular, as it can apply that to what it has already heard and rapidly improve on the accuracy. Until after only a couple of minutes of the recording, it was almost exactly right. When we first ran it on one of our test audio files, we assumed at first that it was making a complete mess of understanding it.Įxcept as the file played on, we noticed that early incorrectly identified words and phrases began to change subtly, and the longer the audio went on, the better it got. With this patched into the system and configured, it is possible to play any audio or video file and have Braina transcribe the sounds it hears. The last piece of this puzzle is a free (donationware) tool called VB-CABLE, a virtual cable solution that can connect can switch speaker output to the microphone line. And, it isn’t confused by background sounds, like the air conditioning or fan sounds.Ī small installable app allows recorded audio to be processed (Image credit: Brainasoft) The only issue that we ran into was that if Braina hears an extraneous word from the microphone, it will add that to the document.īraina claims 99% accuracy, and we’re reasonably confident that they’re not exaggerating, at last in the English testing that we did.

But what surprised us most was that almost from the outset it was able to understand us without any difficulty whatsoever.Īll that is required to use this tool in any application or website is to activate the microphone and then tell the software that you want ‘dictation mode on’. The wide scope of Braina languages reveals the complexity of this solution.

Braina can understand over 100 languages, including some that aren’t often supported, like Zulu, Thai, Lithuanian and Afrikaans. Many transcription tools support a decent number of languages and regional variations of those spoken in different countries. Braina can act very like Cortana or Siri (Image credit: Brainasoft) AI powered transcription
