How Does AI Transcription Work? [Technical Guide]

TL;DR: AI transcription converts speech to text using neural networks that analyze audio patterns, predict words from context, and output readable text — all in seconds. Modern systems like Whisper and Conformer reach 95–99% accuracy on clean audio, handle 100+ languages, and keep getting better. Here's what actually happens between you pressing "transcribe" and getting your text back. 95–99% — Accuracy on clean audio 680K — Hours of training data (Whisper) — Processing per minute of audio 100+
