In order to acheive maxium accuracy in transcribing audio files with MacSpeech Scribe, it is recommended that high quality recordings of a single speaker’s voice are captured at a high sampling rate, using a good microphone in an environment without too much background noise.
Note: Audio files must have a sampling rate of no less than 11.025Khz.
Due to the limits of the Bluetooth audio spectrum, it is recommened that you avoid using a Bluetooth microphone to capture audio.
If you are using a digital voice recorder, consult the manufacturer’s documentation on how to set the recording quality to the highest level. Position the recorder close enough to your mouth so that your voice is captured at adequate level. Try to maintain the same distance between your mouth and the recorder during the entire recording.to maintain a consistent volume level. When using an iPhone or iPod touch, use a an external microphone to improve the quality of the spoken word audio file. If you are using an iPhone voice recorder app that allows you to adjust the audio quality, select the highest quality setting. MacSpeech Scribe requires audio files in one of the following formats:
.wav
.aif
.aiff
.mp4
.m4a
.m4v
