I have a very small .mp3 file that’s listing 40 Russian verbs in Russian. I decided to try the audio transcription (usually I use Turboscribe.ai). I tried this twice to make sure I selected “Russian” as my target language — not that I should have had to double check that, because I already had Russian selected.
Below is the transcription. Not sure what it is, it might be Ukrainian. I threw the audio at Turboscribe, and it transcribed fine.
I would attached the audio, but this forum does not support such attachments.
It happened again. I was hoping it was simply an aberration. I’m listening to the audio, and I don’t see how it should be understood as anything other than Russian.
I think it’s the audio that’s throwing the transcription off. While Turboscribe.ai is better, it’s also not as accurate as usual. Whatever service LingQ is using to transcribe is worse, and I think it’s the quality - or lack thereof of the audio that is throwing the transcription off.
Today I used better quality audio for the same lessons I was creating, and it was fine. I had purposely slowed down the audio speech when I generated speech from text. That was throwing the transcription off due to some very poor pronunciation.
This time I generated the speech at standard speed and slow it down a bit when I listen to it. That works flawlessly.
