TranscribeMe creates structured data sets for customers to use to create or enhance machine learning models. Before getting to case studies illustrating this work, some terms need to be either defined or clarified, i.e., “structured data” and “AI.” I consider AI to be a misnomer. Intelligence is intelligence; excluding all other flora and fauna, it divides into human or machine. So for me, there’s nothing artificial about an intelligent machine. It’s simply not human. Learning Through Structured Data Consider how humans learn. A newborn is pretty much helpless, but from birth it pac ..read more

What is AI Training Data? AI training data is a set of labeled examples that is used to train machine learning models. The data can take various forms, such as images, audio, text, or structured data, and each example is associated with an output label or annot ..read more

Let’s talk about Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology: the state of the art; user/customer expectations; ASR output vs user/customer expectations; and ask whether there is one ASR engine that meets all requirements? Spoiler alert–the answer to that last question is, no. There’s no single ASR Engine that can satisfy all industry needs. Why not? We will dive into that answer in a bit. Here’s another question to ask about ASR Technology. Why should I, the consumer, look beyond the big three–Google, Apple, Microsoft…make that four, IBM to assist me in meeting all my ASR Requirements ..read more

TranscribeMe uses automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology in order to auto-complete audio to text transcripts. When the audio is of very high quality and the completion requirements are less than 100% word accuracy, an ASR can provide a pretty accurate finished transcript in a short amount of time. This accuracy is usually accomplished when there’s either a single speaker or where there’s a dialogue between two speakers each with a separate mic–which could be two phones. Though you would think that this would be the best way to create data sets for more accurate ASR, this is not al ..read more
