Faster transcripts and improved editor

Faster transcripts and improved editor

October Update

🖍️ New Interface Design

• The interface of the app has gotten a design overhaul, check it out below!
• Your transcripts are now under the page "Files" where all of your uploaded files are stored
• We've kept it as simple as possible and similar to interface designs of other modern webapps, and more improvements are coming!

🤑 Updated Pricing

• Prices are now ~40% lower than before
• Why? -> 3rd party services that we use to run our AI have decreased their prices significantly, effectively lowering our costs. So we pass on these changes to our pricing as well.

New pricing tiers:

1. $9 for 2 hours of transcripts
2. $29 for 8 hours of transcripts
3. $59 for 20 hours of transcripts

🗣️ Improved Speaker Identification

• We've updated the AI model (the diarization model) that distinguishes the speakers in a recording to a newer version
• You'll see slightly more accurate transcripts when it comes to speaker identification!

🗂️ Other Updates

• Now all audio or video file types are supported, including newly supported .mov and .wma
• File size limit has been increased to 350 mb
• Recordings can be up to 4 hours long now
• Upload process time significantly reduced
• Added support through chat (click the "?" bubble on the bottom right corner)
• Have a feature request? -> Post them here: https://audiogest.canny.io/feature-requests
• Many other bug fixes :)
• Overall performance of page loading time has been improved

Summer Update '23

✍️ Improved transcript editor

• The transcript editor has been updated to make corrections easier
• It supports audio playback so you can listen to your recording while making changes!
• Transcript segments are highlighted as they are played
• Easier to change all speaker labels or individual speaker labels

A few notes on this change:

• This change means we are now storing uploaded files and they are not automatically deleted anymore after 24 hours. You can still delete the uploaded file on the audio details page. Note that this also deletes the related transcript and digests.
• This only applies to uploaded files starting today, files uploaded before today were still automatically deleted. A change to our privacy policy has been made to reflect this update.

🗂️ Support for larger files (250mb) + video files

The upload process has also changed:

• Support for larger file sizes: from 100mb max -> 250mb max
• Files must be between 30s and 3 hours in duration.
• Support for both audio and video files
• Video files are converted to audio files after upload

Want to upload larger or longer files? Contact support with your requirements and we will figure something out!

🚀 Faster transcribing

• We are now running our AI models on faster servers, meaning transcribing time has improved
• Expect a 1 hour recording file to be transcribed in just 5 minutes!

Ability to edit transcripts ✍️

Many users wanted the ability to edit transcripts, so here it is!
With the ability to edit transcripts you can easily change all speaker lables in one go, or make small corrections to the transcripts. 

Transcript options 💬

Don't need the speaker labels and timestamps? You now have the option to choose a 'Basic' transcript, which is just the transcript without any speaker labels and timestamps. And it's also slightly faster :)
