Why This Happens

  • Inaccurate transcription: The transcribed text doesn't match the spoken words.
  • Missing or incomplete captions: Captions are missing or don't cover the entire video.
  • Synchronization issues: Captions appear out of sync with the audio.
  • Language errors: The translated captions contain grammatical or contextual errors.

How to Resolve It

  1. Verify Audio Quality: Ensure your recorded audio is clear and free from background noise. Poor audio quality can impact transcription accuracy.
  2. Check Transcription Settings: If ScreenApp.io offers transcription settings, review and adjust them as needed. Some settings might affect accuracy or speed.
  3. Review and Edit: Manually review the transcribed text and correct any errors or inaccuracies.
  4. Check for Language Support: Ensure ScreenApp.io supports the language of your video. If not, consider using a third-party transcription service.
  5. Contact Support: If the issue persists, reach out to ScreenApp.io's support team for assistance. They might be able to provide specific troubleshooting advice or investigate underlying technical problems.

Additional Tips

  • Provide Feedback: If you encounter frequent transcription errors, report them to ScreenApp.io's support team. This helps them improve their algorithms.
  • Consider External Services: For more complex transcription needs or specific language requirements, explore third-party transcription services.
  • Optimize Recordings: Reduce background noise and ensure clear audio to improve transcription accuracy.
