New in Colibri: AI-refined transcripts

Transform raw transcripts into refined, reader-friendly text with Colibri AI.

We’ve all experienced it: skimming through raw, verbatim transcripts that are filled with ums, uhs, repetitive words, and interrupted sentences. Such transcripts might capture every word, but they’re often not the easiest or most pleasant to read. This is why we’re excited to unveil Colibri’s new feature — transforming raw transcripts into refined, coherent text with the help of Large Language Models.

How it works

Simply put, our new feature turns verbatim transcripts into clear, concise, and easily understandable text. By eliminating filler words, correcting mistakes, and even paraphrasing for clarity, our AI ensures that your transcripts are not just accurate, but also reader-friendly.

All you have to do is flip the ‘Refine with AI’ toggle, and in just a few minutes, your transcript will be transformed. And, if you ever want to compare or revert to the original, you can easily switch between the verbatim and refined versions at any point.

Exploring the possibilities: How different sectors benefit

In today’s fast-paced digital age, the ability to quickly and accurately transcribe and refine spoken words can be a game-changer across various sectors. From personal voice note keeping and content creation to in-depth interviews and corporate meetings, the applications are vast and varied. Let’s delve into some scenarios where Colibri’s AI-refined transcripts can make a significant difference:

Journalist interviews

Consider a journalist who’s just wrapped up an in-depth interview. While the spoken word might have felt dynamic and engaging, the raw transcript showcases the reality of spoken communication — filled with false starts, redundancies, and even errors. But, with the new Colibri feature, this messy transcript can swiftly be transformed into an article-ready format, saving journalists countless hours in editing time.

Corporate meetings

Picture a corporate meeting with an assigned note-taker. Instead of having to tediously edit the raw transcript to produce minutes or reports, they can now rely on Colibri’s AI-refined version. This ensures that when they copy and paste key points or quotes, the text is already clear and articulate, making their task more efficient and the final document more professional.

Lectures and classes in education

Imagine a professor giving a two-hour lecture on a complex topic. Students often struggle to jot down every crucial point while trying to understand the subject matter. With Colibri’s new feature, educators can provide students with refined transcriptions of their lectures, making study materials more readable and concise. Furthermore, institutions can archive these AI-refined transcripts, creating a more effective learning repository for future reference.

The evolution of speech-to-text

Just three years ago, an article in The Economist posed an interesting question: “Is it possible to “write” using speech-to-text software?”. It emphasized that despite advancements in speech-to-text technology, producing quality written content from spoken words was still a big challenge. The article highlighted that even the most articulate speakers, when transcribed verbatim, often resulted in “extraordinarily messy looking writing”.

Back then, the world had yet to experience the power of Large Language Models and advanced tools like ChatGPT.

Now, the technological landscape has dramatically evolved. With the rise of sophisticated Large Language Models and Generative AI we’re getting closer to the once elusive goal of seamlessly converting spoken words into coherent writing. Colibri’s AI-refined transcripts feature is a shining example of this remarkable journey.
