Basic vs Premium Transcript Comparison
If you have clean audio, the difference between premium and basic transcription is minimal.
This simple example may help when choosing which engine will work best for you.
Basic Transcription
"this is an example clip on on the studio and this is the end of that clip"
Premium Transcription
"This is an example clip on omni studio and this is the end of that clip."
--
Basic transcription is often very good with minor mistakes such as the one in the above example. Premium transcription is not perfect but it is more consistently accurate.
