The Transcription panel makes it easier to transcribe audio & video files. Depending on the length of your file, Automatic Transcription can take anywhere from 2 minutes to 1 hour to finish. Once you add automatic transcription, check scheduled tasks (View –> View Scheduled tasks) to see the progress of the transcription.

Using Automatic Transcription
Before you start transcribing audio, CaseGuard will prompt you to enter information about your audio file in a popup before getting started.
You will be prompted to provide the following information:
- Spoken language: the language the speakers are communicating in.
- Speakers Identification: Speakers identification works to label the individual speakers in the audio file and helps make sure they’re identified correctly. Select Yes if you want CaseGuard to identify different speakers.
- Number of Speakers: the number of speakers in the audio. If there are more speakers in the audio than 10, multiple speakers will be labeled as a single speaker.
- Detect & Transcribe Multiple Languages: Optionally, you can choose to detect and transcribe multiple languages when editing your audio and video files. For reference, CaseGuard Studio supports 37 languages for transcription, in addition to 54 languages for translation.
