Tips for Best Results

• Use high-quality source audio — clearer recordings produce better transcriptions
• Enable GPU acceleration — dramatically speeds up file transcription, especially for long files
• Choose the right model — use Medium or Large for important files where accuracy matters
• Quiet recordings work best — files with heavy background noise or music will have lower accuracy
• Split very long files — files over 60 minutes may take considerable time; consider splitting them
