Transcripts
How your transcripts are prepared and used in Cleft
Transcripts in Cleft are an essential part of the note-taking process, allowing you to review and edit your spoken thoughts in text form. Cleft uses OpenAI's advanced Whisper model for highly accurate speech-to-text conversion.
How transcripts work
Creation
When you record a voice note, Cleft uses the Whisper model to prepare the initial transcript locally on your device.
This transcription process happens once, immediately after you finish recording.
Edits and Updates
For any future modifications to your note, such as:
Regeneration
Merging with other notes
Appending new content
Manual edits
Cleft works with the text-based transcript rather than reprocessing the original audio. This approach ensures faster performance and allows for more flexible editing.
How to access transcripts
Open a note in Cleft.
Look for the "Transcript" tab or option (the exact location may vary depending on your device and app version).
Click or tap to view the raw transcript of your recording.
Benefits of using transcripts
High accuracy: The Whisper model provides industry-leading transcription quality.
Quick review: Scan through your thoughts faster than listening to the entire audio.
Easy editing: Make changes directly to the text without altering the original recording.
Improved searchability: Find specific information in your notes more easily.
Accessibility: Provides a text version for those who prefer or need to read rather than listen.
Tips for working with transcripts
Review the transcript shortly after recording to correct any rare misinterpretations.
Use the transcript as a starting point for further refinement of your ideas.
Compare the transcript with the final note to see how Cleft has structured and enhanced your thoughts.
While the Whisper model offers exceptional accuracy, it may occasionally misinterpret words or phrases, especially with specialized terminology or in noisy environments. A quick review can help catch any such instances.
By leveraging the power of the Whisper model and understanding how transcripts work in Cleft, you can make the most of this feature to capture and refine your ideas effectively.
