Speech to Text (STT) is an AI technology that converts spoken language into written text. Our system uses advanced deep learning models trained on thousands of hours of audio data to accurately recognize speech patterns, phonemes, and words, then transcribes them into text in real-time.
Theta One STT is the only service that provides reliable child speech recognition. Most speech recognition models are trained primarily on adult voices and struggle with children's speech due to different vocal characteristics, pitch, and articulation patterns. Our proprietary technology, trained on over 10,000 hours of child speech data, achieves over 95% accuracy for children of all ages.
To transcribe video to text, first extract the audio track from your video file using tools like FFmpeg. Then, send the audio file to our API endpoint. Our system will process the audio and return the transcribed text. The entire process typically takes just seconds, depending on the audio length.
