General tips for improving automatic transcripts

If you want to be sure that the automatic transcript works as good as possible, please follow the following tips.

• Do not use any special characters in the file name of the media file. This can lead to transmission errors. 
• Choose the correct language. 
• Add your own expressions or vocabulary. The transcript will then require fewer manual corrections afterward.
• Make sure the sound quality is good and there is little background noise. This makes it easier to understand and distinguish the speakers. 
• We recommend AAC as the file format, as this works best for MAXQDA's automatic transcription.
• The file size must not exceed 1 GB, otherwise the file cannot be processed.
• If you are using MP3 files, please use a fixed bit rate, preferably 320 Kbit/s. The automatic transcription cannot process a variable bit rate.
