Why use a professional human transcriber?
Professional transcribers are not a cheap option for transcribing any audio or video recordings. They will invariably cost more money, because of course there is the time it takes a human to convert your data into text, whereas for an automated system this simply happens. However, despite all the press coverage of AI at the moment, the simple fact remains that AI is unable to effectively handle multi-speaker audio & video recordings and produce useful or accurate transcripts.
