Audio Transcription with Artificial Intelligence
From podcasts, meetings, interviews and lectures to accurate Italian text. Speaker recognition, timecodes, SRT subtitles. Faster than an editor, ready for your blog and meeting minutes.
Why Transcribing with AI Changes Everything
Speed That Used to Be Impossible
One hour of audio used to take a human transcriber 4-6 hours of work. With AI tuned for Italian, that same hour is transcribed in 5-10 minutes. The advantage isn’t marginal: it’s an order of magnitude. Meetings, interviews and podcasts become text over a coffee break.
A Fraction of the Human Cost
Professional Italian transcription rates run between 60 and 120 euros per hour of audio. With AI, the cost for the same quality (often higher) drops dramatically. The savings show on the first job and grow with every recurring project.
From Audio to Indexable Content
Google can’t read audio or video. A podcast on Spotify stays invisible to SEO. Turning it into an article, into show notes with timecodes or into a keyword-rich page multiplies its reach: one hour of recording becomes 5 different pieces of content on your site.
What I Can Transcribe for You
Podcasts and Interviews
Full transcription with speaker recognition (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, or real names if provided). Output in TXT, DOCX or pre-formatted Markdown. An edited version ready for blog publication, or a verbatim transcript for your archive. SRT subtitles included if needed.
Meetings and Minutes
Transcription of Zoom, Teams and Meet meetings or in-person recordings. Automatic minutes with key points extracted by AI: decisions made, action items, deadlines. You get the full text plus an executive summary. Handy for boards of directors, board meetings, focus groups.
Lectures and Conferences
Transcription of university lectures, webinars, conferences and seminars. Indexed by topic with timecodes, so you can jump to the right minute. Great for post-course handouts, digital conference proceedings, training material accessible to those who couldn’t attend live.
AI Video Subtitles
SRT/VTT files ready for Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, YouTube and Instagram Reels. Millisecond-accurate timecodes, formatting in line with accessibility guidelines. Your videos become readable even with the sound off, WCAG compliant and ready for multilingual subtitling.
How It Works
Send Me the Audio
You send me the audio or video file (MP3, WAV, MP4, M4A, any format), or a link to a cloud recording. No complicated uploads: drag & drop to Drive, WeTransfer or a shared link. You tell me the output you need and by when.
AI Transcribes, I Review
The AI runs the transcription in minutes. Then I go through it: I correct proper names, technical terms, punctuation. I fix ambiguous passages and format the text for the requested output (article, minutes, subtitles). The quality is ready for publication.
You Get the File
I send you the finished file: TXT, DOCX, MD, SRT or JSON with timecodes. For recurring projects (weekly podcast, courses) I set up a recurring workflow: you drop the audio in a folder and receive the transcript automatically within 24 hours. An industrial pipeline.
FAQ
How accurate is AI transcription in Italian?
On clean audio with standard speech, accuracy exceeds 95-97%. With strong dialects, noisy audio or highly technical jargon it drops to 90%, but with my final review the delivered result is clean and ready for publication. The better your recording quality, the closer the text is to perfect on the first pass.
Does it recognize multiple speakers?
Yes. Diarization automatically separates the speakers (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, etc.) even on a mono track. If you give me the real names, I swap them in. It works well up to 6-8 distinct speakers: beyond that, identification accuracy drops but the text stays correct.
How much does an AI transcription cost?
Priced per hour of audio, far below manual transcription. The quote depends on the type of output (raw text, edited article, SRT subtitles, minutes with summary). For recurring podcasts and ongoing projects I apply reduced rates. The quote is free: send me a 10-minute sample and I’ll reply within 24 hours.
Do my recordings stay confidential?
Yes. I work with AI tools that don’t train on customer data, in compliance with the GDPR. I can sign an NDA for sensitive projects (corporate minutes, confidential interviews, legal material). Files are deleted from the servers within 30 days of delivery, unless you ask for different archiving.
Does it work for video too?
Of course. The audio is extracted automatically from MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI or YouTube/Vimeo links. The output can be text for your blog, or SRT/VTT files with precise timecodes to upload to your video player or streaming platform. The subtitles already comply with accessibility guidelines.
Can I integrate the transcripts into my website or blog?
Yes. I can set up an automation that publishes the podcast show notes directly on your WordPress site, already formatted with chapter H2s and links to the episode’s minutes. For anyone publishing regularly, it’s an SEO accelerator working in the background, week after week.
