Must have for Multiple Use-Cases

I am elated to have found Amberscript because it's all about trading in a few dollars to save our precious time, that's otherwise spent in writing subtitles, and speech scripts manually.

PROS

Amberscript has become a game-changer in my video production workflow. I usually write my video subtitles and sometimes podcast scripts after listening to my own words. It's a time consuming process and quite monotonous. But after I started using Amberscript, all I have to do is drag and drop my audio file into Amberscript, and then the script text is generated magically. It neatly captures my words spoken in English. The beauty is that it has multiple accent options just for English. So, even if you are a non-native English-speaking person, Amberscript can help. It has a neat editor within which we can edit the text easily using keyboard shortcuts, too. There is also a way to select the portion of text and it shows where in audio file waveform it's located. Its transcribing process works with AI capabilities - and that means it "learns" our words and tries to reduce the errors eventually.

CONS

With all its greatness, it still is not perfect. I have to do a final review to see if it picked all my spoken words correctly. Thanks to the text editor, I can search, edit directly in the editor. That being said, its transcription engine is in fact powerful and picks correctly almost 97% of the time. The hours limit duration is also quite less in their plans, in my opinion. However, we can purchase additional hours on a case-to-case basis.

Amberscript - a real relieve for transcriptions

PROS

Works easy, is fast, I can always come back to old recordings on my account, an efficient help!

CONS

Sometimes I have interviews with non-British nor American partners who speak in English... On non-Germans who speak in German... And do not know it too well. What is worse, their pronounciation is not the "original" one. Then we sometimes come to a certain border because the software seems to be trained by natives of the respective languages. Would be good to teach it as well in "Conference English" or "Conference German". Guess that would also improve in the future.

Ambescript has made some great improvements

PROS

Amberscript is wonderful if you want to create blogs and other content from your videos.

CONS

Amberscript has a subtitle option. However, it is not very customizable. This is what I originally purchased Amberscript for. But I still use it.

Big timesaver, but also save some time for final editing of transcriptions

Instead of spotting lists for editing, I now use my own database inside amberscript. It works perfect.

PROS

the ease of the audio player connected with the transcription is brilliant to use while sitting next to the editor. Also that you can formulate a starting timecode, which makes it sync with the original timeline in the editing software.

CONS

It's still quite some work to do the final editing, but allltogether it's a big plus.

Amberscript is a musthave for interviewers and editors

Easy to setup and use. Good quality.

PROS

You have a spoken interview transcribed in no time. The Dutch (AI) text-to-speech function is the best I've seen. Good enough to save tons of time.

CONS

Can't think of anything now. Maybe integration with other software could be better. But uploading single files to Amberscript does the job for me. Certainly if I compare it to the time lost when I was transcribing everything myself.

Reasons for switching to Amberscript

The Dutch translation is better.
