Faster to the finished transcriptSignificant time savings for interview transcription
The automatic transcription of audio and video recordings by f4x saves you working time. No matter if it is a cell phone recording, a zoom interview or a recording from the recording device.
Already with the f4x 2019 engine, we were able to measure a significant time advantage of correcting speech-recognized texts compared to completely manual transcription in a study with test measurements among 200 students (19% time advantage (p=.0036)). The f4x 2022 engine has increased this advantage considerably. We now assume a time advantage of about 50% compared to manual transcription.
Each recording is individual and the recognition result also depends on factors such as dialect, background noise, simultaneous speech and the quality of the recording device. Therefore we recommend: Test it yourself with your data! When you register, you will receive a free trial quota of 30 minutes.
f4x 2023 EngineBest recognition performance
c’t already certified 2021 “best detection performance in the test”.
(c´t 17/21). In October 2022, we completely renewed f4x and improved the recognition by about 50%. Good transcripts are now generated even from challenging shooting situations. This significantly reduces correction times.
Test f4x now with your data.
We give you 30 minutes contingent for new registration.
We maintain high safety standards GDPR compliant
We pay attention to high security standards and transparent infrastructure so that your data is processed by us in compliance with GDPR.
Your data will be used exclusively for speech recognition and not for other purposes or even passed on. The transmission of your data is already encrypted during the upload.
Read our f4x procedure concept (submitted to the Hessian Data Protection Commissioner) here.
Speech recognition runs exclusively on ISO-27001 certified servers in Germany.
Immediately after the conversion, the recordings are deleted. The text file is stored in encrypted form until collection. After that, the data is deleted from our servers. The finished transcripts are then only available locally to you as a text file.
By the way, our servers not only run securely, but 100% with climate-neutral energy from hydropower.
