Transcription is the process of converting spoken content from audio or video into written text. In professional contexts, this includes accurately capturing speech, identifying speakers, applying time stamps where needed, and structuring the text so it can be reviewed, reused, or integrated into workflows such as localization, compliance, training, or documentation.

Any organization that records spoken content and needs it documented, searchable, or reusable benefits from transcription. This includes enterprises producing meetings, interviews, training materials, legal recordings, medical discussions, media content, or multilingual communications that must be reviewed, archived, translated, or shared across teams and markets.

Transcription can be performed on interviews, meetings, calls, hearings, podcasts, webinars, training sessions, field recordings, and recorded video content. Files may include single or multiple speakers, different accents, mixed languages, and varying audio quality, depending on the source and use case.

Accuracy depends on audio quality, language complexity, and content type. At Afrolingo, AI is used to support efficiency, but every transcript is reviewed, refined, and approved by human linguists. This ensures accuracy, proper handling of nuance, and alignment with documentation or compliance standards, especially for complex or multilingual content.
