Whisperit offers two distinct modes to turn your dictation into text:
- Smart Transcription, and
- Standard
While both modes are designed to transcribe your speech into text, they work differently and serve different purposes. In this article, we’ll explain the difference between them and how each one can enhance your dictation experience.
1. Smart Transcription: AI That Understands and Contextualizes Your Dictation
The Smart Transcription mode is more advanced. When using this mode, the AI doesn’t just transcribe your words verbatim. It understands the context of what you dictate and adapts the transcription based on the intent and meaning of your words.
This mode is ideal when you want the AI to interpret and automatically organize your dictation into a structured document.
Example Use Case
Let’s say you want to draft a structured legal report. With Smart Transcription, you can dictate not only the text but also instructions that guide the AI in structuring the document. For example:
- “Check these legal clauses.”
- “Write a paragraph explaining the legal context of this clause.”
In this case, Smart Transcription won’t just transcribe your words—it will automatically organize the text, add sections, and follow your instructions to produce a well-structured document.
Benefits of Smart Transcription
- Contextual understanding: The AI adapts the transcription based on the context of your speech.
- Automatic structuring: Organizes text according to your instructions (titles, sections, etc.).
- Time-saving: Automates repetitive tasks such as adding headings or managing document structure.
2. Standard: Word-for-Word Accurate Transcription
The Standard mode is simpler and focuses on transcribing exactly what you say, word for word.
This mode is ideal when you don’t need specific structuring or interpretation of your speech. The AI simply transcribes your words without taking additional actions.
Example Use Case
In Standard mode, if you dictate:
- “Draft a contract for the sale of a commercial property.”
- “The contract must include a section on payment terms and another on the buyer’s obligations.”
The AI will simply transcribe your words exactly as you dictated them, without attempting to structure the text or add extra elements.
Benefits of Standard
- Accuracy: Faithful, word-for-word transcription without interpretation.
- Simplicity: Perfect for informal dictations or quick note-taking.
- Flexibility: No AI structuring—the text stays exactly as you say it.
When to Use Smart Transcription vs. Standard?
Smart Transcription
- When you want the AI to intelligently structure your text (adding titles, subtitles, organizing paragraphs).
- To draft complex professional documents, such as reports or contracts.
- When you need the AI to understand and interpret your instructions to adapt the transcription.
Standard
- For simple dictations or notes where structure isn’t necessary.
- When you don’t need automatic organization and want a raw transcription of your words.
- For meetings, discussions, or informal dictations where exact transcription is enough.
