Introduction

Welcome back to my Channel! In this tutorial, I'll be showing You a new method to convert audio or video files to text with improved accuracy and punctuation. We all know that manually transcribing can be time-consuming and tedious, especially when it comes to adding correct punctuation. But fret not, because I have a solution that will make your transcription process much smoother and faster.

Ways to Convert Audio or Video Files to Text

Before we Delve into the details of this new method, let's briefly discuss a few existing ways to convert audio or video files to text. One popular method involves using a virtual audio cable, which allows you to route audio from one application to another. While this method is free and works well in most cases, it may not always provide the desired level of accuracy and punctuation.

Using a Virtual Audio Cable

In my previous tutorial, I showed you how to use a virtual audio cable in conjunction with Google Docs to convert audio or video files to text for free. However, one common issue with this method is the lack of correct punctuation in the resulting transcript. Although all the words are spelled correctly, the transcript may appear as a long STRING of text without any punctuation marks.

Limitations of Google Docs Transcription

Adding correct punctuation manually to a lengthy transcript can be a time-consuming task. You would need to go through the entire transcript, piece by piece, and add appropriate capital letters, periods, commas, apostrophes, question marks, and other necessary punctuation marks. Not only does this take a considerable amount of time, but it also requires a keen eye for grammar and punctuation rules.

Introducing Chat GPT for Correcting Transcripts

To overcome the limitations of Google Docs transcription, I'd like to introduce you to Chat GPT. Chat GPT is an advanced language model developed by OpenAI that can help correct transcripts with accurate punctuation and formatting. By providing clear instructions and using the correct writing prompt, you can effortlessly add all the necessary punctuation to your transcript without making any other edits.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Chat GPT

Using Chat GPT to correct your transcripts is a straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

1. Visit the Chat GPT Website and Create a new chat.
2. Provide a clear prompt that specifies you are a professional transcriptionist with perfect spelling, punctuation, and formatting skills.
3. Paste the text you want to correct into the chat, enclosed in quotation marks.
4. Engage with Chat GPT by pressing enter to prompt it to start correcting the transcript.
5. If Chat GPT starts writing irrelevant content, copy a sentence from your original transcript, search for it, and paste it back into the chat to Refocus its Attention.
6. Once Chat GPT completes the correction, copy the corrected transcript.

Combining the Corrected Transcripts

After obtaining the corrected transcript from Chat GPT, you can merge it with your original transcript to create a nearly perfect transcript. Here's how you can do it:

1. Open a new Google Docs document.
2. Paste your original transcript into the document.
3. Copy the corrected transcript obtained from Chat GPT.
4. Paste the corrected transcript below the original transcript.
5. Merge the two transcripts to create a final, near-perfect transcript.

Comparing the Original and Corrected Transcripts

To ensure the accuracy of the corrected transcript, you can compare it with the original transcript. Here's how you can do it:

1. Open the corrected transcript and click on "Tools" in Google Docs.
2. Select "Compare documents" and choose the original transcript as the comparison document.
3. Review the comparison document to see all the corrections made by Chat GPT.
4. Verify that all the punctuation, formatting, and sentence breaks are correctly added.

Additional Tips and Tricks for Transcription

• Save the writing prompt for future use to maintain consistency and easily copy it whenever needed.
• Experiment with different Prompts to achieve the best results for your specific transcription requirements.
• Use Chat GPT to improve your own writing, punctuation, and grammar, not just for transcription purposes.
• Consider practicing with shorter Texts or sections of longer transcripts before processing the entire document.
• Use the merged, corrected transcript as a reference while listening to the audio or video to make any necessary corrections.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Chat GPT is a powerful tool that can significantly simplify the process of transcribing audio or video files. By accurately adding punctuation and formatting to your transcripts, Chat GPT saves you time and effort. Whether you are transcribing for clients, personal use, or improving your writing skills, this method can be a game-changer. So why not give it a try and see how it revolutionizes your transcription workflow?

FAQ

Q: Can Chat GPT handle transcripts with multiple speakers? A: Yes, Chat GPT can handle transcripts with multiple speakers as long as they do not talk over each other. It is capable of correctly formatting and punctuating the transcript for each speaker's turn.

Q: Is Chat GPT suitable for professional transcription work? A: While Chat GPT can be useful in improving the accuracy and punctuation of transcripts, it is important to note that it is an AI language model and may not have the same level of expertise and domain-specific knowledge as a professional human transcriber.

Q: Can Chat GPT correct transcripts in languages other than English? A: Currently, Chat GPT performs best for English language transcripts. It may not provide accurate results for other languages due to differences in grammar, punctuation rules, and language-specific nuances.

Q: Is there a limit to the length of the transcript that Chat GPT can handle? A: Chat GPT has certain limitations in terms of the length of the input it can process. Lengthy transcripts may need to be split into smaller sections for more accurate results.

Q: Can I use Chat GPT to correct transcripts in real-time? A: No, Chat GPT works as a text-based tool and does not provide real-time correction. It requires the entire transcript to be inputted before it can start processing and correcting the text.
