Audio Transcription (Speech-to-Text)
Why is transcription needed?
Transcription enables various productivity features during phone calls, such as displaying relevant conversation details, detecting data for calendar entries, and call forecasting, like word count analysis.
What happens during audio transcription?
During the call, audio streams from both parties are temporarily stored and converted into text. For this process, we use a large language model hosted and operated by sipgate. Once the transcription is completed, the audio data is deleted immediately, and the summary is based solely on the stored text version.
