Automatic Audio Transcription (AAT)
Collections are incredibly diverse in content as well as format, and it’s common for them to contain audio items, such as VHS, CD, cassette, MP3, or some other audio format.
The Item Automated Audio Transcription option takes the audio from your items and transcribes every spoken word, including who is speaking, as well as what they say, converting this into readable text format. This is particularly beneficial for audio histories and interview collections.
Software used to transcribe audio can also timestamp each and every word, turning it into searchable text content, taking users directly to the given point in the audio.
